Notes and references
- ↑ Jean was born in 1779 and seems most likely to have been the son of the Jean who erected the 1784 stone. He then moved into the property with his new wife in 1804, and although this stone is likely to have marked work undertaken on the house, it is also a somewhat rare example of a 'marriage stone' marking the year of a couple's marriage
