William Farmer

Parents:

• Baptism*: William Farmer was baptized on 2 June 1541 at St Denys, Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B.¹
• He was the son of Anthony Farmer.
• Marriage: William Farmer married Elizabeth Grayling circa 1560 at England.
• Anecdote*: Elizabeth Grayling is identified in the following document:
  Title: Deeds of a copyhold house and barn called Nicholas Tenement at Rotherfield
  ESRO: AMS6393
  Description: The property formed a copyhold tenement of the manor of Rotherfield Rectory otherwise Dewlands, and was held by a quitrent of 12d and a fine certain of 13s 4d. It was one of three tenements which lay to the east of the churchyard; for a map showing their location, and speculation that the tenements may have been the site of a house for chantry priests, see C Pullein, Rotherfield, 172-174
  Miss Pullein also traced the descent of the tenement between 1589 and the admission of Mary Hutchinson in 1692. Her statement that the tenement ceases to be mentioned as a separate holding is however incorrect
  The narrative which follows combines information from the documents themselves with that from the surviving court rolls and books and with Miss Pullein's account, which is largely based on documents which remain undeposited:
  On 6 October 1572 John Huggett surrendered the property to Thomas Aynescombe and his wife Mary, who on 25 September 1576 surrendered to William Farmer and his wife Elizabeth, who obtained a licence to demolish the western part of the kitchen on condition that they repaired the eastern half (ACC 2805/1/1)
  In 1589 William's eldest son John Farmer claimed the reversion after the death of his mother Elizabeth Grayling; in November 1618 it passed to his nephew John Farmer, age 12, son of his brother William Farmer. On 29 September 1631 John Farmer of Herstmonceux surrendered Nicholas Tenement to Adam Farmer of Rotherfield, tailor, and his wife Denise; their son Adam succeeded in 1645 and surrendered to Richard Hutchinson in 1655 (Pullein 173)
  Richard Hutchinson left the property by his will of 8 March 1685 to his son Richard Hutchinson, who was admitted on 14 April. In 1693 his widow Mary Hutchinson was admitted under his will of 11 March (ACC 4656/1)
  Mary Hutchinson's eldest son Richard was admitted on her death on 9 April 1739 and his death presented on 30 March 1758; it passed under his will of 12 February 1755 to his wife Margaret for her widowhood, with remainder to his daughter Mary in tail and reversion to his grandson Richard Hutchinson. Mary barred the entail by recovery in 1770 and left it by her will of 31 May to the occupier Aaron Winton for life, remainder to his wife Sarah Winton, remainder to their daughter Fanny Winton. Mary's death was presented and Aaron Winton admitted on 7 April 1774 (AMS6231/1) [..... more].
• Death*: William Farmer died in 1580 at Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B.
• Burial*: William Farmer was buried on 29 November 1580 at Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B.²
• Admon: Administration of William Farmer was granted on 11 January 1581 at Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B: (11 Jan 1580/81.)³
• Will/Adm Transcript*: Adminstration of the goods of William Farmer of Rotherfield / was committed on the 11th January to Elizabeth his relict […] [sworn?] £17 13s / Farmer of Rotherfield.
• Anecdote: There is no William FARMER/FERMOR marriage to an Elizabeth in the Sussex Marriage Index.
  At the Rotherfield manor court held12 March 1587/88:
  William Farmer who dies held to him & his heirs 1 parcel of Strabland at Rotherfield Hill of assart of Townehyll. Comes John Farmer eldest son & heir & prays admittance etc.
  It is possible that this entry relates to this William FARMER who died 1580, even though it was dated 1587/88 but there is a gap in the manorial records 1560-87 so it would be unsafe to assume this given that there were a few William Farmers around at the time. John FARMER is likely to be the one baptised 5 July 1562 at Rotherfield, son of William (mother not named).⁴

Parents:

• Birth*: Susan Barber alias Nynne was born circa 1586 at Sussex, England.

• Birth*: John Barber alias Nynne was born circa 1620 at Sussex, England.

• Anecdote*: They had children baptised at Rotherfield 1647-1664. Their children's names are Elizabeth, William, John, Mary, Richard, Nicholas. The inclusion of the name Richard is suggesting to me the connection to the Barber alias Nynnes of Ticehurst.
