He was baptised in 1772 (rather than 1771) - on 13 October, at Charleton near Kingsbridge in south Devon. He is said to have been born nearby in the hamlet of Goveton, but his actual birth date is not known. His father William was a farmer; his mother was Mary Lethbridge nee Stephens. He was buried at Stonehouse, Plymouth on 3 June 1830.
