*** Provided by B. Bowyer : "My ancestor, Samuel
Bowyer, was proprietor of the Bull in Halstead, as mentioned in his
will of 1807 (probated 1808) which left it to his second wife,
Bridget Hatton, from whom he may have got it in the first place when
he married her in 1790. He also had 2 smithies, one in Halstead, and
one in Hedingham, and left one of these to each of his two sons.
