List of children - circa 1860?

This photograph is of a list of John and Esther's children found in papers held by descendants of William Trease. The writing of the name "John Trease" is similar to the signature shown on the Sedgeley marriage register and the writing of the surname "Trease" is similar to that on this letter signed by William Trease. At the bottom of the list further details of William Trease's birth have been initialled "JT" so it is more likely that the list was written by John but it is also possible that the list could be a copy by Wiliam Trease of another document originally written by his father. The date and reason for producing the list are unknown. It is possible that the purpose was for William when he got married so he could enter the details in a Family Bible.
