Cheston Thomas (c1711-1756)

Details of Cheston's origins, including the names of her parents and siblings, is currently unknown.

Marriage
Cheston married Charles Neckervis on the 1st January 1732 in St. Just in Penwith. Charles' name was incorrectly recorded on the marriage record as 'James Ankwerwiz'.

Cheston and Charles settled initially in St. Just in Penwith and had two children baptised there. Their remaining children were baptised in different locations, including Linkinhorne and Madron.

Death of Husband
Cheston's husband Charles died and was buried on the 1st February 1753 in Morvah, Cornwall.

He left a will that named his surviving children, but not Cheston. It had been written on the 13th Janaury and proved on the 16th, which indicated that Charles knew he was dying. It left for the following provisions:-

son: JOHN moiety of Stamps in Chyrose in St. Just in Penwith, house in Keigwin in St. Just now in possession of JOHN RODDA, 20 L when 21 son: JAMES 20 L when 21, his life to be put on estate in CRESTALL in Linkinhorne both sons to be maintained until age 16 daughter: JANE 20 L daughter: LYDIER 20 L when 21 & to be maintained until 17 wife (not named) estate in Crestall son: CHARLES all the rest & executor brother: JAMES NEKERVIS guardian & executor in trust for son friends: MATTHEW EDWARDS of Morvah, NICHOLAS WALLIS of Maddren (same as above)

Witnesses to the will were Nicholas Lawry and John Vinnicombe. A codicil gave provisions if any sons or daughters should die under age and unmarried. Witnesses to the codicil were 'Chessen Trenbah' (likely to be a mistranscription of Cheston's name) and John Vinnicombe.

The will indicates that Cheston was given his estate in Crestall.

Death
Cheston died and was buried on 14th June 1756 at Morvah. The burial record indicates that her residence at death was St. Just in Penwith.
