15. The Story Begins With Ipplepen Prosperous village - Thomas Dashper assessed at £6 (tax @ 6d in the £) in 1524 X roads for trade Near pack horse trail leading from Ashburton to Paignton Surrounding area was agricultural land

16. Eggbuckland/Tavistock Dashper’s Edward married Joan in 1675 in Ipplepen Mainly agricultural labourers and trades associated with the land Made no wills Remained in Ipplepen for 150 years

He settled and died in Eggbuckland/Knackersknowle, possibly working as a wheelwright for the troops stationed at Crownhill fort, probably until the Napoleonic wars end in 1815

18. 1790-1810 Press gangs were in force A few Dashper's remained in Plymouth area William (b.1784 son of William) moved his family to Tavistock in 1811 which had become a prosperous stannary town

19. Tavistock Up until 1850 there was little movement from this branch. They stayed around the Tavistock area Ample work - mines Coming of the railway
