  Probate	1 Apr 1801	London
  Death	2 Sep 1809  [4]

  	Hmm. I wonder whether the engraver goofed and put 1809 instead of 1800? She would then have been 82/83. YAY! Seems like that is what happened.
  Name	Hanna Howse  [4]
  Notes	comment: from the MI, Hanna is referred to as "their daughter", but whose daughter? If born in 1727, she seems too young tohave been the daughter of Mary Stephens, but too old to be the daughter of John junior. Her will and the baptism date appear to give the answer.
