• Somerset Notes:
• Tax records show: James owned property that went to Jane, then Jane gave some of these lands to a son James/Jacob
• When James/Jacob married Sarah GAWLER, one of the witnesses was a Joseph Cleal . Joseph also lived in the same town as James and Jane
• From 1766 ( when the Land and Property tax records began in Broadway ) James owned two properties in Horton , Somerset . One called 'Goodwin's ' ( later known as Gooden's ) and 'Mather's' ( later known as Matthew's ) . Goodwin's was taxed for 0-2-9 1/4 and Mather's was taxed at 0-3-9 . James also had a property with a James Mico in 1781 and 1782 and between 1781 and 1785 he owned one other unnamed property in Horton, for which he paid 0-15-0 in taxes . He also had a property in Beer Crocombe , unnamed , which he had from 1782 ( tax was 0-4-7 1/3 ) . In 1789 this property passed to a Mrs. Cleal ( noted as Jane Cleal in the 1792 records ) who kept the property until 1805 , at which stage it was probably sold . This property in Beer Crocombe was occupied during this time by William Soulman
• The two properties in Horton were still owned by James in the1780's when the records recommence and both properties passed on to Jane Cleal in 1789 . It is from this information that I believe James died in 1788
• Jane took over all James's properties in around 1788 . By 1791 she also owned an additional property in Horton called 'Savidges' . She kept all the properties in Horton until 1811 , when both 'Gooden's' and 'Matthew's' became the property of Jacob Cleal . In 1814 Jane's property 'Savidges' is listed as the Late Jane Cleal's and it is occupied by a J. Matthews . From 1815-1827 these details remained the same . In 1828 the Late Jane Cleal is written as the Late John Cleal ( spelling mistake ? ) and it is occupied by a Sam Lock . From then until 1831 , when these records end , this property is listed as the Late John Cleal's
