There are two John Cornishes of very similar ages in Poughill (1687 and 1690, see next page).

John was mentioned in Chamond's Will dated 18 Mar 1712/13.

There are two probable burials, one on 8 Aug 1741 and one on 24 Sep 1745 but no further information is given on the burials (ref Cornwall OPC Database for both and the parish record for the second in Family Search Record Collection for Poughill, page 115).

One of them is presumed to have married Martha Martyn; she was bap 1695 which is closer in age to the one on the next page so I have placed that marriage there.
