3Children of John Baston & Mary Spinnage vs
Susannah Palmer. "
Thoughts on sorting out the children of:-
John Baston &
Mary Spinnage m 10 Oct 1697 Bampton, (we therefore assume John is of Bampton).
John Baston & Susanna Palmer m 26 Oct 1699 Begbroke, both of Aston,
(probably shown as Jn Jnr), note this marriage is shown on the IGI as 1679
but is clearly 1699 when you view the original register.
John Baston &
John Beeche m 23 Jan 1708 (1707/8) Clanfield, both of Cote
(Bold
words are the facts from either the Baptism Registers or the 1742 Will. All
dates have been corrected to the post 1725 Julian calendar (1st January to 24th
March were shown as of the previous year before 1725) but are also shown in
parenthesis as uncorrected/corrected (1707/8) years.
From the 1742 Will
of Elizabeth a spinster we know that Mary, John, Elizabeth, Ann, Francis &
William are all sons of the same John as she mentions them all, as of
her brother John.
There is only one Mary baptised to a John around the
required period, this is to a Jon, 25th September 1698. As the only
couple married at that time were John Baston and Mary Spinnage, this should
therefore be the John named in the 1742 Will.
Likewise, there is only one
Ann baptised around the period, this is to a Jn, 20th December 1703, so
Ann is also to John & Mary Spinnage Baston. (Ann is also Mary Spinnages
mother's first name).
And again, there is only one Francis, baptised 22nd
June 1705 to a John, so we can allocate Francis to John & Mary Spinnage
Baston.
This leaves John, William and Elizabeth (who is named as the wife
of John Bennett in the 1742 Will, they were married 9th Oct 1725 Bampton).
For John, we have two possibilities, John baptised 17th March 1700 (1699/1700)
to John and John 15th December 1702 to Jn Jnr. There is a Susanna
shown as being baptised 1st January 1701 (1700/01) to Jn Jnr of Aston, we
can, I think, assume this Susanna would have been the first daughter to John &
Susannah Palmer Baston of Aston, therefore the John shown baptised to Jn Jnr,
would be to John & Susannah Palmer Baston, which leaves the John baptised 1700
to John & Mary Spinnage Baston.
Elizabeth, there is only one shown for
the period, 17th May 1702 to Jn. This is only seven months before the
baptism of the John to Jn Jnr (John & Susannah Palmer Baston) shown above, so we
can safely assume this Elizabeth is to John & Mary Spinnage Baston as it is too
close to the baptism of John in December 1702 .
Finally we come to
William. We have a William 2nd June 1703 to Jonathan and William
baptised 1st December 1708 to John. We know from the 1742 Will that both
a William of Jonathan is mentioned, as is a William of John, so the two Williams
are as the baptisms show, William 1703 to Jonathan and the William baptised 1708
is to William & Mary Spinnage. There are no other Williams to a John so this is
the only possibility, it can't therefore be a first child baptism to John & Joan
Beeche.
So the children to John & Mary Spinnage Baston are, Mary 1698,
John 1700, Elizabeth 1702, Ann 1703, Francis 1705 & William 1708.
To John
& Susannah Palmer Baston we now have, Susanna 1st January 1701 (1700/01), John
5th December 1702, Joseph 13th July 1707.
