"If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood

Paul,

Your explanation fits what I believed about these entries other than I 
didn't fully understand what was happening with Robert Hatcher, Burral Bevil 
and the parish..

I believe Margaret Bevil was caring for an ailing Jeremiah Hatcher. Two 
years later there was another entry for an Edward Parham paid "to the care 
of Jeremiah Hatcher." And although it's not proven, Jeremiah is believed to 
have died shortly after 1766 - in his 70s. Robert Hatcher was his son.

There is no known family connection that I'm aware of between the Hatchers 
and Bevils so appears to be only an employer/employee relationship.

Thanks a bunch!
Nel
