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 ¹ Susannah MORE-2653, daughter of Thomas MORE-4396 and Elizabeth WIDOWES-4397, about 1660 in Bampton (1650 to 1653 missing) or 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 ¹ 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-2782 (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.
