NOTE

Louisa (1824-1897), of Mevagissey, Cornwall. Liv. at Tregony Hill St., Mevagissey, Cornwall (1881-91). Their 3rd son I found in the 1871 census below. I am not sure what happened to him. Also see this City and County Directories, 1600s-1900s record from 1893.

A gravestone reads: "In memory of Matthew Henry son of Matthew and Louisa Hunkin who died July 6th 1863 aged 6 years and 9 months. A beauteous opening flower lies withering here it fell by deaths sharp scythe cut quickly down twill bloom again when Jesus shall appear in glory all his precious Saints to crown the mourners who have placed this humble stone with resignation cry thy will be done"
