The entry of Richard’s death and burial is the last record of the Rabsons in the ancient registers. In the 1839 Tithe Commutation agreement, his erstwhile home is described as 'Late Rabsons’. At about that time, another Richard Rabson, a young man in his twenties, was still around, being in 1841 a boarder in West Yoke. He was working on the land, but not on his own land. He did not long remain and, after him, Ash knew the Rabsons no more.
   If the poor men of Ash, or some of them, could look for their coats to the Walter charity, more affluent parishioners were similarly accomodated, over a great many years, by the family of Wallis. When to meat from the Olivers, bread from the oven, milk from the cows and beer from the brewhouse is added clothing by Wallis, it is clear that they at least did not lack the

The Wallises never lacked for children, although the earlier generations mustered but few sons. ‘ Richard and Dorothy managed only one, Thomas, who in 1670 married a local girl, Elizabeth Munnes.
   From 1671 to 1676, Thomas and Elizabeth had three daughters and, from 1683 to 1694, four daughters and a son who died an infant. To the gap between 1676 and. 1683 may reasonably be attributed three Wallises whose baptisms are not recorded at Ash, namely, Rachell, who died young, Richard, who was born
