He married at Westfield, Sussex on June 11th 1807 to Ann (nee) Crump, who was born at Westfield in 1788 to parents Simon Crump and his wife Elisabeth [descendant's report].
His first child may have been James (4) who was christened at Fairlight in 1809, although the parish register names this child's mother as "Mary".
