21. William BASTON [scrapbook] (John , John , John ) was born on 1 Mar 1631 in Bampton Oxfordshire. He was christened ¹ on 27 Apr 1631 in St Mary's Bampton, Oxfordshire. He was buried ² in poss 16 Aug 1711 in St Mary's, Bampton, Oxfordshire.

William has this land record dated in 1665 ³ for Hearth Tax for Bampton Oxfordshire. He has this 1673 document ⁴ for an identified building mark for William Baston & Susannah in Standlake, Oxfordshire Photo ⁵ of Black Horse, Standlake, Oxfordshire which has two identified building marks for 1673. He has this 1673 document ⁶ of a thesis by Sally Stradling 1979 in Black Horse, Standlake, Oxford He was left a legacy ⁷ in his mother Elizabeth Baston's Will 20 Apr 1687, Aston, Bampton, Oxfordshire

Either William Basson born 1 March 1631, Christened 27 April 1631 to John & Elizabeth Baston (m 1626 nee Hore) or less likely, William Baston Christened 10 August 1628 to Robert.

1665 Taxed on one hearth.

Standlake "Building work by small yeoman or cottagers is commemorated by inscriptions , the Black Horse Public House (WBS 1673 for William & Susannah Baston)".

It looks as though once William took on the Black Horse at Standlake, the rest of his children weren't baptised.  We know they exist as they are mentioned in various Wills.

William married Susannah MORE, daughter of Thomas MORE and Elizabeth WIDOWES, about 1660 in probably at Shifford (all the pre 1725 registers were destroyed by damp). Susannah was christened on 6 Feb 1627 in St Mary's, Bampton, Oxfordshire. She was buried in date unknown.

Susannah has this 1673 document for William Baston & Susannah identified building mark in Standlake, Oxfordshire

Marriage Notes:

We know from the records of the Black Horse at Standlake that William's wife was a Susannah and by searching all the available Oxfordshire registers it turns out that there were very few Susannahs around at the time.  I have checked into all the available ones and by a process of elimination, this is the only Susannah that hadn't either died or married so is quite possibly the correct Susannah.  The is also a record that William's father, John fought in the Civil War under Capt Moore so it's quite possible that that is how he came to know the family of Moore.

26. Henry BASTON (John , John , John ) was born about 1620/1640 in between 1616 & 1638. He was buried in poss 5 Apr 1712 in St Mary's, Bampton, Oxfordshire, (Henery an old man of Aston).

He was left a legacy ¹ in his mother Elizabeth Baston 1687 Will 20 Apr 1687, Aston, Bampton, Oxfordshire

Added to family as he is mentioned in Elizabeth Basson's 1687 Will as one of her sons. There is only one child to Henry shown, and an Elizabeth, wife of Henry is shown as being buried at the same date so perhaps she died during childbirth and he never remarried.

Henry married Elizabeth? BASTON? about 1659. Elizabeth? was born about 1640. She was buried in poss 24 Mar 1660 in St Mary's, Bampton, Oxfordshire (wife of Henry).

It is possible that due to the death of Elizabeth the twins weren't baptised until 1661.

28. John BASTON [scrapbook] (John , John , John ) was christened ¹ on 11 Nov 1623 in St Mary's Bampton, Oxford born Aston. He was buried on 6 Apr 1695 in Bampton Church, Oxfordshire (an old man).

John has this record of his Military Service ² on 16 Nov 1642, shown on a Muster List for Cromwell's Army. He was left a legacy ³ in his mother Elizabeth Baston's Will 20 Apr 1687, Aston, Bampton, Oxfordshire

Died intestate, see his son John's Deed for the takeover of the lands late in the occupation of his father & grandfather, 13th May 1695

John married Elizabeth BASTON? about 1644. Elizabeth was born about 1620. She was buried in possibly 12 May 1677 Bampton (Elizabeth a wife).
