Part VI with Mathew Wedderbum of Benridge, farmer, who died at Ponteland 2S Feb. 1806, rot. 64, married at
Chap. IV. Ponteland 28 Dec. 1773 Mary Tone, by whom he had issue three sons,
1. Matthew Weatherburn, 1 baptized at Ponteland 1 Jan. 1787.
2. Lancelot "Weatherburn, baptized at Ponteland 12 July 1789 ; see below.
3. John Weatherburn, baptized at Ponteland 12 April 1791, and there buried 15 April 1791.

28 Sept. 1783.
Their mother, Mary Tone, died a few days after her son John, and was buried at Ponteland 19 April
1791. I think her husband must have married again, as his grandson, Lancelot Wedderburn, while
accepting the above account of his grandfather's family, says that his wife's name was Allison. 2 He is able
to give no account of his uncle Mathew, but supplies the following in regard to his father and himself.

buried at Huddersfield, co. York. He was for some years a sea captain in the transport service, but retired
and became a tobacco manufacturer. He married Henrietta Metcalf of Thornton-le-Street, Thirsk,
co. York, and by her had two sons and a daughter ;
