Hi Tim

Thanks for your thoughts. I don't think he was precocious at all. He was ill 
and owned a lot of property. In those days people wrote Wills when they were 
ill. For him to own the property suggests to me that his father was dead - 
hence my theory about the remarriage of his mother.

I haven't found any evidence yet that he was married and at 22 he would have 
been young to be married at that age in those times but on the other hand, 
he was wealthy enough to support a wife. If he was married it seems unusual 
not to mention his wife at all, especially since there were no adult 
children to support her.
