  08 Aug 1779 daughter of Thomas and Sarah.
  10 Dec 1780 daughter of William and Ann. (This Lucy is considered to have married George Boniface in 1802 at Eastbourne.)
  There is also a fourth possibility in nearby Willingdon: 01 Aug 1779 daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Verrall (nee Batcheller). (However, this Lucy is considered to have married married Richard Duly at Willingdon in 1800.)
  The following supports the conclusion that Thomas and Sarah Verrall are the parents of Lucy:
