Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Farrant
« on: Sunday 23 January 22 01:14 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1770s, there was a property known as Farrants in East Grinstead.

My Streeter ancestors occupied it, in addition to their primary abode at Dunnings Farm, near Saint Hill Manor.

Please contact me if you would like more details.

Yes--I have found some wonderful things there over the years.

My Streeter ancestors departed from Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex for New York State by the end of 1794.

THANK YOU! (Shouting much intended)

It's amazing what Google still doesn't know.

HEVER PARISH REGISTER RESEARCH REQUEST: William Streeter, b. 1710-1715; m. 1730-1742

My article, “Streeter Immigrants of Greene and Steuben Counties: The Common Origins of Elizabeth (Streeter) Faulkner, Thomas Streeter, and William Streeter, at Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex, England,” (The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 142(2011):47-61; 117-132) is freely available as www.perrystreeter.com/streeter.pdf.  Here is an excerpt to provide the context for the request I making further below.

START QUOTE >>

William-A Streeter/Streater was born in England about 1713 (age 64 in 1777 deposition), was buried in East Grinstead, Sussex, England, 1 October 1787, and married say 1741 (first-known child christened 1742) Ann [–?–], who was born say 1718–1723 (estimated marriage). She was probably “Ann Wife of William Streater” buried in East Grinstead 23 February 1784.

William arrived in East Grinstead and assumed occupancy of Dunnings Farm about 1737. He was probably the son of Richard Streeter, who was buried in East Grinstead 15 December 1764, and Elizabeth [–?–], who was buried in East Grinstead 2 November 1760 as “wife of Richard.” If they were the parents of William born about 1713, they were married say 1712 or earlier. Richard was first documented in East Grinstead in a 1747 tax list in which his proposed son William-A does not appear. It is likely that, as William’s probable father, Richard also arrived in East Grinstead about 1737.

Where the Streeters of Dunnings Farm resided prior to their arrival in East Grinstead is unknown, but they may be the family that was recorded earlier at Charlwood, Surrey. Richard “Streator” and Elizabeth Humphrey were married in Charlwood 10 October 1708 and had seven children christened there between 1710 and 1724: John, Elizabeth, William, Ann, Sarah, Richard, and Thomas. With the exception of William (baptized 5 March 1714/15 as the “son of Richard Streeter”) all of the sons died in infancy. If William-A Streeter of Dunnings Farm was the son of Richard and Elizabeth (Humphrey) Streeter christened at Charlwood, then aside from naming his eldest son after himself, he named his sons following the birth order of his deceased brothers.

Unfortunately, the publication of my article has not prompted anyone to provide any corrections or additions. While I still think it is likely that William-A Streeter of Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex was identical with William, the “son of Richard Streeter,” baptized in Charlwood, Surrey on 5 March 1714/15, I am seeking additional evidence to confirm or refute this identification by seeking other potential matches for William in an even wider circle of parishes than has been previously researched. While digital images of many parish registers are online at FamilySearch.org, others are not, including some parishes within approximately 10 miles of East Grinstead.

HEVER is the last parish to be checked!

HEVER PARISH REGISTER RESEARCH REQUEST: William Streeter, b. 1710-1715; m. 1730-1742

The earliest date found in the Hever parish register is 1632…

Bearing in mind the possibilities that William Streeter’s father may *not* have been named Richard and that Ann may *not* have been William Streeter’s first wife, would some kind soul please review the parish registers for any entries like the following?

* Baptism of William Streater, Streeter, etc. between 1710 and 1715
* Marriage of William Streater, Streeter, etc. between 1730 and 1742


Of course, any other corrections or additions to my article would also be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to forward this message to other lists and individuals who may be able to provide assistance.

Thank you for your help!

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: Commissary Ct for Huggett surname
« on: Monday 14 April 14 02:02 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for your reply! Please send Joyce Cully's email address to perry@streeter.com and/or send my email address to her.

If my theories are correct, I descend from Anne, daughter of Abraham & Anne (Gummins) Huggett and granddaughter of Abraham & Anne (Blandell/Blundell) Huggett, all of East Grinstead.

Have you been in touch with expert Huggett researcher John Moore?  If not, I will ask him to take a look at the rest of your posting.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the very thorough response to my request!

Abraham Huggett & Anne Gummins were married in Worth in 1719 so they are likely the parents of the children baptized in East Grinstead, starting in 1720. Abraham may have been baptized in East Grinstead 6 January 1684.  Anne Gummins was likely the daughter of Jeremiah Gummins of Bletchingley and Anne Burnupp of East Grinstead.

Thank you Sean! Entirely at your convenience, of course!

I have already obtained high quality larger version of the image shown at http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/gravedetails.php?grave=132397&scrwidth=1280.

Unfortunately, not all of the gravestone is visible in the image and not all of the visible text is legible. However, the gravestone appears to be in a good shape so one or more better photographs might yield better results.

Thank for any assistance!

And the answer to my question is...
