LIGHTFOOT's at St Breock

[oldphart]

Looking hard at my database after contact with another Polperro LIGHTFOOT researcher, I find that there are two separate LIGHTFOOT families in the area. One branch is those descended from Richard LIGHTFOOT (m. Elizabeth POLLARD) who I think came from St Breock and was born there about 1768 the 4th known son of Rendle LIGHTFOOT and Rebecca HEWITT.

The other branch is descended from a William LIGHTFOOT (m. Elizabeth SLADE) who lived in Talland parish and would have been born around 1750 (married in 1773). There is a possibility that he was William b. 1751 the eldest son of Rendle LIGHTFOOT.

So Sue, the question is have you anything that could possibly support these two hypotheses?
