3 Richard Wills married Mary Wrayford 5/11/1757; He was probably married before as his eldest children pre-date the marriage to Mary Wrayford. Richard was buried 9/12/1789; Mary was buried 22/2/1795. I had previously thought that he had married Elizabeth Shears in 1764 but this now seems impossible!
