John Pilley
Christened 30 Mar 1732 Wentworth, York, England
Note:  I have not seen this John listed among the others on any family group sheets.  The logical explanation for this is the christening record which lists the father as Thomas Senior.  I understand people's confusion.   It may have been a simple clerical error.  However, consider this:  the other Thomas Pilley in the York records is their grandfather (Thomas b 1665) who is 66 years old.  More importantly, his wife (64 years old) is still alive at this time so I included this John here.

CHILDREN

Charles Stacey
Born 1663
Christened 13 Jun 1664 Barrington, Cambridge, England
Note:  The reason behind the year of birth is because first, Charles is in the will as the oldest son/heir.  Second, because his sister, just younger than him, was christened in the same year, but 3 months later.  I do not think they were twins - they were not mentioned as such in the will.  However, the christenings of both children have sources and because they are valid, this means that Charles had to be born earlier than Dorothy and they could not have been born in the same month or even within a few months of their respective christenings.

Ann Stacey
Christened 10 Feb 1673 Barrington, Cambridge, England
Note:  Surname spelled Stacy in record
Married Thomas Holder 18 Jun 1691  Comberton, Cambridgeshire, England
Note:  There is another marriage listed for her on Family Search to Robert Gieve in 1698. If both marriages are true (and both are sourced), her surname on the second marriage should have been Ann Holder (widow) married to Robert Gieve.  It doesn't.  It states that Ann Stacy married Robert Gieve.  

I feel the correct husband is Thomas Holder of Comberton.  

First, because Comberton and Barrington are closer (about five miles) to each other whereas Steeple Morden is more than twice that in the other direction.  Also, there is a burial date for an Ann Holder in 1741, indicating she never remarried.

Died after 1679 as she is mentioned in her father's will as follows: 
ITEM: I give and bequeath to my daughter, Anne Stacy, the sum of five hundred pounds of lawful money to be paid her by my executor at her age of one and twenty years or upon the day of her marriage which of them shall first come.and my will and meaning is that my executor shall maintain and educate my said daughter, Anne, until her age of one and twenty years or day of marriage and of the (?) and advantage to be made of the said five hundred pounds.
Died February 1741 Comberton, Cambridge, England
Buried 25 February 1741 Comberton, Cambridge, England

Thomas Oakey

Married Sarah Pritchard 12 Dec 1801 Eldersfield, Worcester, England
Note:  many people have linked a Sarah Pritchard born in 1763 to Thomas, but this can't be correct since that would mean she was giving birth to the children well into her 50's - the children were born from 1801-1815. 
Children:  Joseph, John, Hester, William, Thomas, James
Note:  There are a few large gaps between these children and I'm not sure they all belong to this couple

Carolus (Charles) Cheshire
Christened 24 Apr 1679 Pontesbury, Shrop, England
Note:  His parents names are recorded as Edwardi Chesheere and Margaretae
Died: probably pre-1681
Note: we must remember that the mortality rate in this era was significantly higher for children so when they did have children, they often gave them the same names, hoping one would live long enough to pass on the father's surname.

*John Cheshire
Born abt 1684 England
Note: did not find him in Pontesbury or Wellington. I have been unable to find a real connection between John and these parents - so far. His birthdate seems to fit nicely between Charles and Margaret, but that doesn't mean it's true. I found all the other children's christening dates but his and that is suspicious. I will keep looking and, for now, take the information as is from Ancestral File. Another reason I have trouble with is the fact he didn't name any children after either parent. Though not completely unheard of, it is unusual for this era.
