Oct 1763 - 1808. Born Goyts Moss, Ches. Married Elizabeth (Betty) Potts on the 5th Oct 1800. PR. They
obtained a marriage license on the 2nd Oct 1800 at Bakewell, for what reason
is unknown as they are both stated as being over the age of 21 on it and Betty
doesn't seem to have been pregnant but I guess Betty is a cousin of John as his
mother was a Pott from Tideswell as well. It could have been the fact that the
two family's were already related. Betty Potts was born in 1776. Elizabeth his wife mentioned in the will. John took up the lease on Halsteads farm that being his Grandfathers farm and the farm may have been on a 999year lease. Halsteads may have been leased out by Joseph Marchington to Thomas Hallam as the farm is in the possession of Thomas Hallam before 1800. Thomas Hallam would later have a child Hannah who would marry John & Betty's son. John
Marchington
died on
the 4th of Feb 1808 age 44 at Halsteads, he died before his father Joseph. Who
died in October 1809. However after the death of John in 1808., who died due to an acute illness.
Betty remarried. Betty married her late husbands second cousin, also called John
Marchington. The marriage took place at Chapel on the 28th December 1813. This John was also a widower who's deceased
wife was also called Betty. John was born at Sittinglow farm, the farm next door to
Halstead farm. This John moved to Halsteads and probably took over the running of
the farm and having further children to Betty. When Young John reach the age of
21 he acquired the estate as according to his late fathers Will. John &
Betty would seem to have moved on.

Hallstead
Farm In the 1851 census the family is stated as follows:
Elizabeth is not mentioned in the family census at Halsteads but may have been living with a relative in London. The entry states niece so one would assume her Aunt is Elizabeth wife of Fredddrick, now her father John didn't have an Elizabeth sibling, but her mother did but this Elizabeth was born in 1801as stated above as such it doesn't match but the title niece is a loose term used to describe many a relationship and my family use it in its loose term so there could be another connection or this couldn't be the right Elizabeth. 1851 Census extract
Also Ann their daughter is living and working Buxton and son Samuel is living and working on a local relatives farm. Halstead farm is situated abutting Sittinglow farm on the south eastern side of Sittinglow (hill). It is possible that the two farms where one and as such where divided between two brother.
