John CHEGWIN

                   Jennifer was baptised, along with her brother Henry, on the 22nd Sept 1833 at Gwinear Parish Church but was probably born in 1830 or 31. In 1841 and 1851 she was living in Connor Downs and she married John Chegwin, a miner of Angarrack on the 20th August 1853 at Phillack Parish Church. John was 22 and a bachelor. They both made their mark and the witnesses were Thomas Blewett and Stephen Thomas. They had a daughter Charity.
They migrated to Moorhead, Minnesota where they homesteaded for a year or so. They found farming was not, as they had always thought, an easier occupation than mining, so they decided to move eastward to Hancock, Michigan where John found work at the Quincy Mine. Jennifer died there in 1884.
