Commentary
Some online sites have Elizabeth as marrying Thomas Pilling, who married an “Elizabeth L.” 13 July 1743 in Winwick. I think Samuel’s daughter Elizabeth actually married James Hill in 27 July 1747 in Winwick, as James’s second son was named Samuel, which would fit the classic naming pattern of the second son being named for the wife’s father.
