NOTES:

ANN 1819: 1841 - 20 yrs with family.

BENJAMIN 1716: Information on the 18th century Escotts of Kitswall, Carhamption and Huish Champflower comes from the Parish Register entries, Land Tax returns and a very interesting and informative series of documents relating to Middle Brown Farm ("Deeds, Middle Brown Farm in Huish Champflower - originally belonging to the Escott family of Carhampton, 1818-1885 housed in Somerset County Archives - ref. DD/CCH/53/3).These Middle Brown documents show that Benjamin Escott of Kitswall, Carhampton "was possessed of the messuage farm or tenement... for the residue of a term of 1000 years which commenced 20 Oct 1737." Land Tax records don't show an Escott at Middle Brown till 1783 - but the document was principally recording an agreement made on 6 Oct 1783 between 1.) Benjamin Escott of Kitswall, gentleman, 2.) Thomas Escott of Huish Champflower, youngest son of the said Benjamin Escott, 3.) William Grant of Ashbrittle, yeoman and Betty Grant his eldest daughter 4.) William Bucknell of Huish Champflower, gentleman 5.) Giles Escott and William Edmonds. It appears that Benjamin Escott sold the farm to the last three parties listed and that his son Thomas Escott, after his marriage to Betty Grant, was to receive the rents and profits of the farm during his lifetime. This would also pass to his widow and children. Circumstantial evidence suggests that Benjamin Escott of Kitswall was he who was buried in Carhampton, aged 84, 31 July 1800. He had a first son Benjamin who inherited Kitswall and appears on Poor Rate valuations at least until 1823. Old Benjamin's youngest son was Thomas Escott of Huish Champflower who was also buried at Carhampton- 1 July 1809, aged 53. (research provided by Anne Escott, aescott990@aol.com)
