the real John Musgrave
I just thought it was time I put people strait about John Musgrave who was married to Joanna Hindle daughter of Joseph Hindle Leeds Yorkshire.I have looked at quite a few different sites and the IGI and found that people have him confused with another John Musgrave son of John Musgrave and Mary Winne of Leeds who married Hannah Haigh, they say this John also married Joanna Hindle above, HE DID NOT they are two different people.I have been researching the family for a long time and have all the info regarding the first John Musgrave he was born 1758 Leeds younger son of Eli Musgrave and Mary Blackburn. (son of William Musgrave and Rachel (Graves) He is mentioned in the news paper dated 15/1/1778 when he returned from his matrimonal journey.Eli died 12/1758 and John is mentioned as being under 21 years of age.He is also later mentioned in his mothers will Mary (Blackburn).I hope this helps family historians get the right facts.I shall be happy to reply to anyone who wishes more info on this side of the family.
