Descendants of
Richard & Martha (Shephard) Baston of Bampton, Oxfordshire
This one is a bit of a conundrum as he just suddenly appeared in
the Bampton registers. There is not any mention in any of the dozen or so
Wills for the Bampton Bastons of a Richard Baston so we can only assume he
has come into the area from somewhere else. The most likely root is from the
Burson/Barsons of Shipton under Wychwood, where Richard is a very common
name or he may have even come from outside of Oxfordshire. In later
registers, outsiders are noted in the register as a "sojourner" which means
a traveller and there are a couple of instances in the Bampton registers of
this happening and in one case, the couple seemed to have stayed in the
area. This is the other family which had descendants who ended up in
Cumnor, Berkshire.
