He was the son of a poor mason/agricultural labourer, the only one of five children to reach adulthood. His mother died when he was five when his father seems to have returned with the boy to his own birthplace, Upper Heyford, Oxon. The boy eventually joined the army, the Duke of Cornwall's 32nd Rgt. of Foot, and must have served for some time abroad because his name appears in the Census for the first time in 1861. He was a Sgt. at the Indian Mutiny at Lucknow in 1857 and his name appears on the Medal Roll of the Indian Mutiny. He returned to England in 1860/61 when his first priority on leaving the Army must have been to find a wife. He was then living at Fulford Barracks, Preston, Lancs. where he met a maid working in the house of a Colonel at the Barracks. They married that summer when he was 35 & she was 22 and the bride took him to her home in Devon. His qualifications doubtless were not a great advantage in an agricultural community and John managed to get a job as a labourer at Dartmoor Prison. He soon became a warder when the "man-management" skills he had gained in the army must have been useful. He worked at the prison for nearly 20 years, had 7 children and retired to St. Helier, Jersey, where he died in 1893. He used to give his occupation on his children's wedding certificates as "Civil Servant". |

[IGI also states R S b:1790 Apr 18] [Oxford Journal, Saturday 22 January 1825. Robert Francis, Charles Bissett, Caleb Wheeler, Richard Scudds jun., and Gabriel Seymour, for a riot and assault, were ordered to be imprisoned in the county gaol and kept to hard labour, viz. Francis, 6 months, Wheeler, Scudds, and Blissett, 3 months each, and Seymour two months. The prisoner Crook, who is not more than 16 years of age, is a hardened and most determined thief, and has been several times before convicted and imprisoned for serious offences against the laws, and the five persons for a riot are all bad characters. The riot committed by them was of a most dangerous nature: they, and least 100 others, assembled on the night of the 5th in company with at Wallingford, to take away his haulin, when he and three of his servants, endeavouring to save the property, were violently assaulted with fold-stakes,stones, &c. and greatly injured, as well as a constable and tithingman, in endeavouring to suppress the riot, and the mob, after setting fire to nearly all the haulin in the field, had the audacity to go to the farmer's house and demolish two of his windows; and it is well for the prisoners that the wounds received by one of the servants did not prove mortal, as they would then have had to answer for the offence with their lives.] [ Reading Mercury, Berkshire, Saturday 22 December 1860. Inquest before John Henry Cooke, Esq. - On Wednesday, the 19th inst., at Crowmarsh Gifford, on the body of John Wilder aged 57, who died very suddenly on the evening of Saturday last, the 15th inst. It appeared in evidence before the coroner and jury, that the deceased, on Saturday last, when he came home to his dinner complained of palpitation of the heart, and could not get on with his work but after he had dined, he returned to his work as usual and when he came home for the day, a quarter past five, seemed in his usual health, and had some coffee and a rasher of bacon about half past six. At seven o'clock he left home for the purpose of going to a shop at Wallingford, but within ten minutes he was found by Richard Scudds lying near the Bell Inn front door in the agonies of death; and before Mr. Charles Barrett, surgeon of Wallingford, could reach him he had expired. Mr. Barrett stated that the deceased came to his surgery about six months ago, complaining palpitation of the heart, for which he gave him a box of pills; he never saw him again until last Saturday night, the 15th inst., when he found him placed in a chair outside the front-door of the Bell Inn, and on examination, saw he was quite dead. He was decidedly of opinion that death arose from disease of the heart, induced by rheumatism, and the jury immediately returned a verdict in accordance with such opinion.] [R S - 76yr.] |

Tuffrey informed witness that he had been in the house, where he was supplied with beer. Kate Allnatt, wife of the defendant, said that Tuffrey appeared to be perfectly sober. Witness only served him with one pint of beer. Defendant gave similar evidence. Israel Scutts, aged 73, spoke to being in the house at the same time as Tuffrey. The latter did not appear to be drunk.
