He was born in 1728 in Canterbury Kent to Sarah Studham. He died in the Workhouse at Milton near Sittingbourne Kent in 1767 and his wife Sarah later remarried. The year 1767 was a terrible one for her. In the space of less than three months she lost her husband and two children. Her origins are as yet unknown.
