| Shared note | Bur, Pyle churchyard. In 1742 purchased for £1760 Ballas & Hall farms Pyle. Will Proved PCC mentions Property in London & Kenfig. Dr John Thomas writes: His children, who were born like their parents in Lincolnshire, lie in graves beneath the ancient yew tree in Newton churchyard. the gravestones with their inscriptions are now suffering the ravages of time. However, the inscriptions are still clear enough to indicate that the family came to Newton from Messingham in Lincolnshire. Folklore and several local historians have not been content to accept these tombstone inscriptions in Newton and Pyle churchyards at their face value. Instead a web of fantasy has been woven around the family and we are led to believe that they were related to the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin who is said to have lived in Lincolnshire at one time. In a "History of the ancient church of Newton Porthcawl" written by Charles Davies and published in 1938, we read- "Tradition makes William Turpin of Grove to be the brother of Dick Turpin the highwayman of 'Black Bess' fame. Dick was born in 1706 in Essex, but later went to Lincolnshire to avoid arrest for his misdeeds." What are the facts? They can be ascertained with the minimum of effort, if like me you live in Lincolnshire. A search in the registers of Messingham church clearly indicates a very respectable origin for our Turpin family. Their father was the Vicar! James Loveluck 29-Mar-07: Could this be him?
