Notes: This marriage existed during the reign of King George III. During these years
Georgian England was predominately a rural, agrarian society largely dependent on
horses. Steam-powered railroads and passenger ships did not yet exist.
Marriage Banns were posted 11 Aug 1771, and Robert Hancock married Agnes Carter on 30 Sep 1771 in
St. James Church, Ashreigney, Devon. Beginning in 1772 through 1785, their eight children
were all baptised in this church. Robert was a yeoman, or a man holding and cultivating a
small landed estate; a freeholder.
Robert died about 13 Jun 1808, and was buried 15 Jun 1808 in the St. James Churchyard,
Ashreigney, Devon England. Robert's estate was valued at £600 on 20 Aug 1808,
£400 of which was divided between his five daughters (Mary, Priscilla, Elizabeth, Agnes,
and Ann) and the residue was left to his widow Agnes. Robert's sons were not named in
his will.
Agnes died about 2 Sep 1814 while residing at Good Cot farm,
Ashreigney, Devon. She was buried 4 Sept 1814 alongside her husband in the
St. James Churchyard.
