Biography

James Tom, was baptised 16 December 1764 at Lanteglos by Camelford, Cornwall, the son of Samuel Tom and his wife Lucy (nee Lucy Solomon);^[1]

At some point the family seems to have moved to the village of Egloshayle, but James must have returned to Lanteglos by Camelford as this is where he married and all his children were baptised.

He married Susanna Anderson on 20 February 1786^[2] and they had at least nine children^[3] -

1. Ann Tom, baptised 9 September 1786 at Lanteglos by Camelford;
2. Elizabath Tom, baptised 3 February 1788;
3. Samuel Tom, baptised 6 December 1789;
4. William Tom, baptised 5 February 1792;
5. John Tom, baptised 2 November 1794;
6. Susanna Tom, baptised 12 October 1796
7. Lucy or Lucia Tom, baptised 29 September 1798;
8. Hannah Tom, baptised 17 August 1800;
9. Jane Tom, baptised 1 May 1803;

A James and Susanna Tom are registered in the 1841 Census of England living in Fore Street, Lanteglos by Camelford. James is age 80, a Cooper and Susanna is age 81 and both are born in Cornwall. There are four other people in the same household; Robert Norman, age 35, a Tinman(?), born in Ireland, Susanna Norman, age 40, born in Cornwall (perhaps James and Susanna's daughter); Elizabeth Mutton or Muttow, age 5; and James Michell, age 5, also both born in Cornwall. James Michell is probably the grandson of James and Susanna Tom, and perhaps Elizabeth Mutton is as well.^[4]

James probably died in late 1844.^[5]
