Default Epilogue

Thomas Blackmore had six grandchildren at his death in 1709. All were by his son Thomas, and there is no evidence of any more. Thomas, for all his six children, appears to have only had two: William and Philip Fullerton. There is no trace of Philip after his apprenticeship to an Armourer. William sailed to Antigua, where he died, leaving his fortune to his half sister. By 1773, that entire branch of the Blackmore tree had fizzled out, and even the Hele tree was failing on the male line, with Jacob Bickford Hele, the last of the male line eschewing marriage, leaving just two illegitimate and unacknowledged daughters beind him when he finally died in 1834
