  • Baptism*: John Coney was baptized on 21 November 1624 at St Bartholomew's, Burwash, Sussex, EnglandB, CONNEY.1
  • He was the son of Mark Coney and Eleanor Byne.
  • Anecdote*: There is more to be discovered about this family, as the following shows:
    Archive of the Coney family of Burwash
    Date: 1318-1801
    ESRO reference: AMS 5744
    Description:
    These documents relate to property owned by the Coney family of Burwash, which still held land in the parish in 1839 (TDE 157), although the last Coney to live there died in 1775. In the early eighteenth century members of the family had migrated to Somerset; Thomas Coney, DD, became rector of Chedzoy in 1698 and was later a canon of Wells from 1716 until his death in 1752. On the death of John Coney of Burwash in 1775 his estate was wound up by Thomas's son Bicknell Coney, a druggist in Leadenhall Street, London, a director of the Bank of England and secretary of the Corporation of the Sons.
    The deeds chart the advancement of the Coney family from the status of yeomen in the sixteenth century, through the trade of butcher, to that of gentleman by the eighteenth.
    The family residence, Mount House, Burwash, was acquired by John Coney in 1672 but as early as 1594 his great-grandfather Simon had owned an adjoining property. John's father Mark married Eleanor, one of the daughters of Thomas Byne, and the Coneys acquired large portions of that family's estate, which had been partitioned in 1620 on Thomas's death.
    The documents become more sparse in the eighteenth century and the latest is a summary of the estate, probably prepared on Bicknell Coney's death in about 1801.
    On the death of the Reverend Thomas Coney at Batcombe Rectory in Somerset on 29 December 1840 an acrimonious dispute over heriots took place between his solicitors, Dyne and Son of Bruton, and Ellman and Whitmarsh of Battle, acting for the lord of Burwash and Burghurst manors; see ASH 1227.
    The documents in the second and third accessions amplified those already received and clarified the descent and date of acquisition of most of the properties. Accordingly the list is not presented in numerical order and a concordance of references follows.
