America in 1702, also John's sister Ann came at that time as well. Ann
married John Hussey, they announced their intent to marry on March 6,

this century which included a letter from John and Ann Inskeeps sister,
Isabell Jones, in London.

London

To my nephews, James and John Inskeep:
I have had a great desire to write to you a long time, but never had
an opportunity till lately, not knowing where to direct to you, or who of
the family was living, for being at variance with my brother James
Inskeep. I never had an opportunity of seeing the letters which was sent
to him by your aunt and your father, who I understand has been dead ever
since the year 1729.
I am the daughter of John Inskeep of Fooford in Straffordshire, and
sister of your deceased father, and have living, one brother and two
sisters; my brother James Inskeep who corresponded with your father and
you, and has let me have several letters which he received from you in
order that I might write to you-his wife is dead and he has only one son
whose name is a James-my sisters are Catherine and Margaret which are
married and have children- Cathrine lives in Staffordshire, and Margaret
in London; and I have four children and live in London. I have a brother
deceased in Staffordshire whos name was Jonothan Inskeep, who has left a
wife and four children, the oldest of which his name is John Inskeep.
I would be very glad to hear from you, to hear if my sister Ann,
your aunt is living, and where she lives.
This is the whole act of our family in England who are in good
health at present, some of my children are grown to maturity and have a
great inclination to see their relations in that part of the world if
they could have the pleasure of hearing form them, thefore it would be a
great satisfaction to recieve an answer from some of you, you signified
in your letter to my brother James Inskeep your desire of corresponding
with the family, which I hope you will take hold of all opportunity to
do-me and my husband and children and all our relations joins in love to
