Commentary
John’s parentage
John was married at Goxhill in 1736, and his first three children were baptized there. This makes it straightforward to identify John baptism in 1708 at Goxhill. The baptism entry records John’s parents as John and Elizabeth Fugal.
John and Elizabeth’s first child was baptized at Goxhill in 1702. In 1701 at Goxhill, John Hall married Elizabeth Fugal.
