Joseph How (b. 1781 in Dulverton, Somerset) married Mary How (b. 1779 in Exton, Somerset) at St Peter's Church, Exton on 2 Feb 1807. Most likely the couple were cousins, but it hasn't been possible to find baptism records to confirm exactly how they were related. And undoubtedly still keeping it in the family, the witnesses to this marriage were John How and Jane How.
There are records for seven children of this marriage, all of whom were baptised at at St Peter's Church, Exton:
- Elizabeth How bap. 27 Jul 1807
- Jane How bap. 19 Feb 1810
- Thomas How bap. 27 Nov 1812
- Joseph Howe bap. 17 Feb 1815
- Mathew Howe bap. 29 Dec 1816
- Margaret Blackwell How bap. 9 Jun 1819
- Mary How bap. 8 Dec 1821
