John Tozer was "of Howton" in parish records. His is the first entry on the Tozer Chest:
"Here lyeth the body of JOHN TOZER late of Howton who was buried March the 17th 1713."
He was baptized 28 Sept 1662 and was the son of Benjamin Tozer and Susanna Hoshill. His father either inherited Howton from his brother Joseph Tozer or his father John Tozer.
He married Frances Maunder 28 Nov 1706. Their children--all baptized at Cross Chapel--were:
* Benjamin 1707-1778
* William 1708-1719?
* Susanna 1709-1709
* Judith 1712-1713
* John 1713-1713
Since this was late for a first marriage, one wonders if there was an earlier marriage that did not produce a surviving heir or if there was another generation intervening, but the Moreton parish records do not show this.

According to the Moretonhampstead History Society website, “the Tozer family was established at Howton by 1332. John, son of William Tozer, took legal action against William and John Corset over ‘Houghton in the parish of Moreton’ in the fifteenth century.
Great Howton (farmhouse, C17 or earlier) is “undoubtedly a medieval site” and was the home of the Tozer family until the middle of the 20th century. The Tozers also owned Howton Langhill. In 1840 the estate amounted to 105 acres.
In the churchyard there is a 17th century chest tomb with a reused slate memorial of 1813 to Charles Tozer of Howton. This memorial lists six generations of Tozers of Howton:
"Here lyeth the body of JOHN TOZER late of Howton who was buried March the 17th 1713. Also here lyeth the body of BENJAMIN his son, late of Howton, who was buried June the 8 1778 aged 70. Also WILLIAM the son of Benjamin who died June the 11 1795 aged 55. Also JOHN son of the above William who died the ..... day of March 18?8 aged ?9 years.
"Sacred to the memory of CHARLES TOZER late of Howton in this parish who died the 24th of February 1813 in the 29th year of his age. Also of two of his children. A pining sickness gave the fatal blow, The stroke was certain but th? effect was slow, With wasting pain death found me sore oppress?d, Pitied my sighs & kindly gave me rest. Also of WILLIAM son of the above, born at Howton Oct. 20th 1808. Died at Exeter Feb. 28th 1892."
The exact owners of Great Howton before the 17th century are not clear. Records are thin and names were much reused. Note that the name is also spelled Tosere , Toser, and Toker in the earliest parish records.
The line appears to be: Robert d. c. 1618; John d. 1658; Benjamin d. 1694; John d. 1713; Benjamin d. 1778; William d. 1795; Charles d. 1813; William d. 1892.
