From another researcher:
- Farmer in Chitterne All Saints, Wiltshire, England. He probably was farming Glebe Farm since his son George was farming it later.
- The 1851 census gives George and Elizabeth living at the Gate House, All Saints, rented from Robert Michell. This house had associations with the Monastery Chapel of St Andrew and, before the Dissolution, belonged to Lacock Abbey.
They had the following children:
Ann COMPTON (William7, Charles6, Christopher5, Christopher4, Tristram3, John “the Elder”2, Edward1).
Born in 1807 in Chitterne All Saints, Wiltshire, England. Ann died in 1888; she was 81.
- James and Anne had only two children, Charles, William and Jane [sic!]
- Lived in High Street Cottage, Chitterne, Wiltshire (1881 census)

Charles W. Compton, son, 36, born Chitterne St Mary, Wiltshire
Rhoda Kyle, serv, 68, born Shrewton, Wiltshire, England, annuitant
- Anne’s will from 1888 shows her to be living in Chitterne St Mary. It is a simple will giving Charles the share and interest of and in the freehold and its premises occupied at the time by a Mr. Hall of Westbury. The same property of earlier now entirely theirs. Jane got one hundred pounds, the residue being divided between her and George.
In 1835 when Ann was 28, she married
