Teresa: Only a peripheral interest through the marriage (August 22, 1723) of
Damaris' brother Gregory BULLEY, with Anne STEER, at Teigngrace. Their happy
union produced at least six more BULLEYs. My STEERs are (and I am) from
Bovey Tracey, and Teigngrace is within (a good) walking distance. Linking
Anne to my tree is problematic since are are several Anne STEERs as
possibilities. I have her in the reserve file for the welcome day when a
link (if it exists) is evident. Can I suggest that if you're driving when
you approach lovely Teigngrace you try not to blink? Best, Mike.
