6Children of William Baston and Mary Fox vs
Mary Honeybone, William & Mary Honeybone, 2007. "Honeybone & Fox
Thoughts
on sorting out the children of William Baston who married Mary Honeybone 21st
July 1755 & William Baston who married Mary Fox 11th November 1755.
John
Baston 12 Oct 1755 baptised before Mary Fox married so is to Honeybone.
Richard Baston 22 Feb 1756 too soon for Honeybone, therefore must be Fox .
The 1819 Will of Francis Baston, buried 1820 Glympton age 80 years (making him
born c1741), fits the baptism of Francis Baston to William & Elizabeth (Skinner)
Baston of Bampton. This Will names the following people, his daughter Elizabeth
(Francis married Jane Horton 21 Mar 1766 in Glympton and Elizabeth was there
only child) and his brothers John, William, Thomas, Edward & Jonathan together
with Francis the son of his brother William (note there are three separate Wills
which show that there were both John & Jonathan in the same families). Jonathan
Baston of the Weald, Bampton's 1777 Will (Francis' uncle) also cites the same
names as sons of his brother William. The John Baston, nephew of Aston Clinton
named as Executor of Francis' 1819 Will, appears to be a son of Edward Baston (m
Jane Panting 1764 Aston Clinton) who was also one of the brothers named.
All these brothers, as does the baptism of Francis himself, match with the
baptisms to William & Elizabeth (Skinner) Baston; William 1732, Thomas 1738,
Edward 1737, Jonathan 1739 as does the baptism of a Francis in 1764 to a William
& Mary. The only baptism missing is of a John to William & Elizabeth. I can
find no other Baston/Basson family that fits the named brothers better.
The other baptisms to a William & Mary are: -
Mary Baston
13 May 1758 to Wm & Mary of Aston. (Probably Fox as
Richard was of Aston and Mary Fox)
William Baston 17 Sep
1758 to Wm & Mary (no mention of Aston and to soon after Mary, therefore
Honeybone).
William Baston 10 Feb 1760 to Wm & Mary of Aston
(note; no burials for a William except 3 Mar 1758 which is before either
William born, so not a rename, therefore probably Fox, is also of Aston.)
Thomas Baston 8 Mar 1761 to Wm & Mary (probably Honeybone as
no Aston mentioned)
Joan Baston 16 Jun 1762 to Wm &
Mary of Aston (Fox as Aston)
Elizabeth Baston 22 Jan 1764 to
Wm & Mary of Aston (Fox as “of Aston” also too close to Francis date for same
family).
Francis Baston 23 Apr 1764 Wm & Mary (named in
Francis Baston's 1819 Will as son of his brother William).
John Baston
17 Feb 1771 to Wm & Mary (suspect as n/t in transcript
except a John to Henry & Mary which is marked as faint ).
We can also
deduce that Elizabeth 1764 is not a sister to Francis 1764 as she was baptised 3
months later in 1764, she is also shown as of Aston.
With “of Aston” in
mind, then William 1760 and Joan 1762 would also be to Fox. William 1758 and
Thomas 1761 would therefore be to Honeybone as there is no mention “of Aston”
The final result is:-
William & Mary (Honeybone) Baston m 21 Jul 1755.
