2007-01-12T07:47:00.000-08:00

It is impossible to devise a simple easy-to-follow system for presenting the details of a large family tree.

As part of my own records I keep a “working sheet” for family groups. Each working sheet shows the parents (birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial) but gives fuller details of their children lives.

The information I am entering here is divided into those family groups, hence each entry title starts “WS”. The numbering system is illogical because it has expanded since 1984 as my information has expanded and it will make no sense to anyone but me. However, if the text says “See WS 23” then that is where more information will be found. This may not be immediately. I may have not entered WS 23 here yet. Not all individuals have a working sheet. Information may well be repeated at various points in order to aid clarity. Not all the information I have is entered as not all is collated as yet - this is a work in progress.

All mistakes of fact, transcription, interpretation and supposition are my own. I aim for total accuracy but am human. Corrections with source references very welcome as only then will the truth be found.

The Brailes Parish Registers for this period are extremely difficult to read, but my notes were backed up by the IGI extraction of the same information.

Richard purchased a parcel of land in Brailes in April 1625. The purchase Deed has not survived and was noted as missing as early as 1705. In that year a dispute arose over whether later members of the Rimell family had the right to that land, and on October 3 a legal opinion was sought. This one document is sufficient for us to be certain of the "Rimell" relationships for a period of eighty years, and gives a clarity to the Parish Records which otherwise would be missing.

The document is held in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Record Office (SBTRO) in Stratford on Avon, reference DR 41/22.

An Abstract of the Title of James Rymell and John Rymell to a Moiety or one half of one yard land in Nether Brailes called Dodfolds.

1614 Timothy Harris and John Harris his son and heir by their deed of ffeoffment executed by livery & seizing convey the Moiety or one half of one yard land to Richard Copie & his heirs: with warranty from Timothy and John and a covenant that the premises shall be kept harmless from 5 Marks yearly payable to the poor of Brailes and Shipston out of that and other lands.

April 1625 A bond from Richard Copie and William Bradley of Islipp to Richard Rymell of £100 for quiet enjoyment of the Moiety or one half of one yard land in Nether Brailes purchased by the said Rich. Rymell to himself & his heirs of & from the said Richard Copie.
Note The purchase deed is wanting.

April 1625 Timothy Harries by his deed poll acknowledges the receipt of £80 of Rich. Copie (on the 23rd June in the 12th year of the then late King James) which £80 was for the redeeming of the Moiety or one half of one yard land in Nether Brailes called Dodfold. According to a proviso in a certain pair of judges made between the said Rich. Copie of the one part & the said Timothy Harris & John Harris the son of the other part & dated the last of January in the eleventh year of King James, And by the said deed poll releases all his estate title and interest unto the said Moiety or one half of the said yard land to Richard Rymell & his heirs being the owner of the fee simple & then in possession.

1635 Rich. Rymell in consideration of a marriage intended between James Rymell son and heir of Rich., & Mary Walker daughter of Mary Walker & of £100 settles the said Moiety or one half of one yard land to the use of himself & his heirs until the marriage had (taken place ?) Then to James for life then to Mary for life Then to the heirs of the body of James, the remainder to Wm. Rymell second son of Rich. & the heirs of his body, The remainder to Thos. Rymell third son of Rich. & the heirs of his body, the remainder to Rich. & his heirs.

Rich. Rymell is dead & James & Mary died leaving Issue only one son Richard.
Richard the son is dead & hath left four sons and a daughter, (videlicet), Thomas, James, John, Jonathan and Mary.

1705 Thomas the eldest son of Richard being heir in taye (entail?) & heir at law to the remainder in fee by lease a release makes a (claim? Blot in original) to the freehold in order (for? Blot) Common Recovery. And declares the use of it when suffered (allowed?) to James Rymell and John Rymell & their heirs.

1705 note. A common Recovery was suffered accordingly.
Thomas his wife had a jointure made before marriage therefore can claim one third or dow (dower? Blot) though she be not a partner in the Recovery.

Query. Whether upon the whole matter James Rymell and John Rymell have a good title or not.

Upon perusal of the writings above mentioned I am of the opinion that James Rymell & Jo. Rymell have a very good Title for altho’ the purchase Deed from Copie to Rymell be wanting yet there having been a quiet possession in the Rimells for above ---- years it will be a good Title against ye Harris’s, especially since Harris hath release to Rimell by ye Deed dated 23 June 1635.

Notes

Common Recovery a way of transferring an entailed estate

Deed Poll cut evenly - opposite of indenture

Summary of the document -

1614 the land was conveyed to Richard Copie from Timothy Harris and his son John Harris.

1625 the land was sold by Richard Copie and William Bradley of Islipp to Richard Rymell for £100, Richard Copie having first paid Timothy Harris £80 to release the land for sale.

1635 Richard Rymell's son, James, (WS 04) was planning to marry Mary Walker and this prompted Richard to settle the land on them for a sum of £100.

1705 Richard Rymell, James Rymell and Mary Rymell are all dead. James and Mary had only one child, a son called Richard. (WS 01) This Richard is also dead, and has left four sons and one daughter, named as Thomas (WS 0), James (WS01A), John (WS120), Jonathan (WS 119) and Mary.

In 1705 a note was appended that before Thomas Rymell was married a settlement was made which gave one-third of the interest in the land to his intended wife, who was named as Anne.

Thomas, the eldest son is the heir to his late father, and wishes to transfer the same parcel of land to his brothers James and John.

The judgement was that the Rymells held a better title to own the land than did the Harris family, so we can presume an heir of Timothy Harris had claimed that the original sale was void.

Children of Richard and Helena Rimell

Mary, James (see WS04), William, William (see WS04A), Elizabeth, Thomas (see WS 121)

Mary Rimell

The only information that I have about Mary is that she possibly married into the Ayres family.

James Rimell (see WS 04)

Marriage 6 February 1635 at Brailes to Mary Walker. The Parish Register is unreadable as to the groom’s name, but from the Title to land we know he was James Rimell.

Mary Walker

From the Title we know that at marriage Mary Walker was the daughter of Mary Walker. She was then either illegitimate, or more likely, her father had died. This may be her family in the Brailes Registers with Mary born c1617 -

Baptised to Richard Walker

1605 Oct 2 William
1607 Mar 16 Tho.
1610 July 4 Alice
1617 Aug 26 Mary

Barcheston IGI shows the following marriage -

1605 June 16 Richard Walker and Mary Gilkes

Richard Rimell set up a trust to provide Mary with a financial settlement on her marriage. This would have offered her support if she was left a widow. From the SBTRO -

Indenture 23 Jan 11 Chas. I (ie 1635) Bargain and sale Richard Rymell on the marriage of James Rymell, his son and heir, and Mary, daughter of Mary Walker, for £100, her marriage portion, grant to Henry and John Cockbill a moiety of a yard land and other lands in Brayles, in trust and dower.

Children of James and Mary Rimell

The Title also gives the next piece of valuable information in that it states James and Mary had only one child, Richard. The IGI shows the baptism -

1638 May 20 Richard son of James Rimell baptised.

It is highly probable that the James Rymill referred to in the following document is the same James Rimell .

The Quaker movement, or the Religious Society of Friends as they are now known, was founded by George Fox in 1647. He was born at Fenny Drayton in Leicestershire (1624-91) and was apprenticed to a Nottingham shoemaker. At nineteen he felt a divine call and wandered the country preaching, often interrupting other services. He began in the north of England and soon established a large following.

In 1650 a Act of Parliament made Quakers liable for any act of blasphemy they were said to have committed. It was not only Quakers that were proscribed - Roman Catholics were also, and the Bishops were a notorious Brailes Catholic family. I tend to believe James was a Quaker rather than a Roman Catholic because I know Rimells from Brailes appeared in Court at Warwick charged as Quakers, although as yet I do not have any documents on this.

Warwickshire County Records Vol. IV:

Brayles - Michaelmas 1660: Whereas this court was this day informed on behalf of the inhabitants of Brayles in this county that Nicholas Bishopp, Thomas Bishopp, William Eddon, Michael Tennant, James Rymill, Thomas Eddon, Trubshawe Swarbricke, William Bishopp, Samuel Hadland, William Kilby, William Phipps, George Wyatt, John Cockbill, Edward Corbett, Thomas Marshall and Thomas Huckvall, inhabitants of Brayles aforesaid, do neglect and refuse to pay their levies for and towards the repair of the church and school there, it is thereupon ordered that the said several persons before named, or any of them shall refuse to do so, then the next Justice of the Peace of this county to the said parish of Brayles is desired to bind over the said several persons or such of them as shall refuse to yield obedience to this order to appear at the next General Sessions of the Peace to be holden for this county of Warwicke to answer their contempt therein.

Death James died in 1681 and left no Will, but an Inventory of his goods was taken and has survived.

Compared with his grandfather, Richard (see WS 03A), James appears to have died a poorer man, but this type of generalisation cannot be made without further evidence. Richard died in 1599 unexpectedly in full use of his life-times possessions; James died aged about 69 when he may have already retired and handed over his land and goods to his son. The land we already know of was entailed and had to go to his heir under the term laid out in the Title.

"An Inventory of the goods & chattles of James Rymell deceased whilst living at Lower Brailes in the County of Warwick was taken May the 21st AD 1681.

Imprimus his wearing clothes & money in purse £5.0.0
from the lease of one yard land in Brailes and his dwelling house
with the appurtances £30.0.0

Taken and appraised by us whose names are hereunto subscribed being inhabitants of Brailes aforesaid on the day above written.

Thomas Mills Richard Walter

These are so certified of Mary Rimell the widow of James Rymill aforesaid, and I have hereby fully and absolutely assigned disposed and given up all my right and power of Administration unto my son Richard Rymill in Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal on that day first above written.
Signed Maria Rimell

In presence of Richard Walter Thomas Mills "

Mary does not say it was her mark and not her signature, but the signature is written in the same hand as the rest. The splitting of the two words “Maria Rimell” with two unformed squiggles in between may indicate that it was her mark. Also, the use of the Latin form of Mary would assume a fair degree of education, even though names were commonly written in the Latin form at this time in Parish Registers.

After the Will was acted upon it was sometimes necessary to provide a Probate Account. This should detail how the estate was administered and give a breakdown of figures. Very few of these survive, but the one for James does. It is held in Worcester Record Office.

It was provided by Richard Rimell, presumably James’ son.

The Account of Richard Rimell of Brailes in the county of Warwick, yeoman, as (Administrator?) to James Rimell of Brailes aforesaid.---- for the goods and chattels the s(aid) James died possessed of according to an Inventory made May the 21st 1681. This Inventory amounting to £35.

2007-01-11T06:01:00.000-08:00

The earliest record of the "Rimell" family from which I am descended is found currently in Brailes, Warwickshire, in 1580. According to the IGI in that year, on February 2nd, was baptised Annes, a daughter for Richard Rimell. The Parish Registers for baptism and marriage that the IGI is extracted from do not mention the name of her mother, but it was possibly Mary. In 1583 Annes had a brother, Richard, (WS 02), baptised on February 24, again at Brailes. It appears to be that it was this Richard Rimell who, on November 12 1610 at Brailes, married Helena Cogbill. This marriage signals the current start of the Warwickshire Rimell story.

I believe that the father of Annes and Richard was the same Richard Rimell of Brailes who died in 1599. It is possible that the Mary Rymell buried March 1 1604 was their mother. I have not yet found the burial of Richard in 1599, but I have his Will. It was a nuncupative Will i.e. made verbally when close to death.

The evidence for this being the Will of the father of Richard who married Helena Cogbill is two-fold: firstly he names only one son, and that a Richard, and secondly he indicates that the son is not yet 21 years old. Richard would have been about 15 if baptised in February 1583, remembering that under the old calendar (in use until 1752) March 25th was the first day of the year, and thus July 1599 preceded February 1599. Unfortunately, Richard does not mention his wife, which may indicate she was already dead and did not live to 1604. (See WS 06. The Mary Rimell buried in 1604 may have been the first wife of Richard Rimell died 1620 - Mary nee Rose)

In addition to the Will the Inventory has also survived. It was the custom that within a day or two of death the value of the "moveable" estate of the deceased person was listed and valued, usually by two neighbours. The "immoveable". estate, i.e. the land and buildings owned or leased, were not included. It is estimated that one in four men and one in ten women were rich enough to leave an Inventory. They often describe only two rooms and the average possessions would be one or two tables, one chair, six stools, one or two chests, one form, and a clutter of stuff - earthenware, candles, wooden bowls, knife and spoons (no forks as yet), trenchers of wood, with pewter only for the wealthier, some brass, and at the basic level, one pan and two saucers (dishes).

There was a noted difference between “stools” i.e. simple three legged affairs, and “joynt (joined) stools”. The latter would have proper “joints” holding them together, thus being more expensive to produce.

The fire would be the focal point of the house and a kettle was a very important possession. A cauldron would probably hold six gallons, and food would simmer in this water all together in muslin bags. Fire irons raised the wood from the ground to keep the fire going; the wealthier had a spit, or a dripping pan.

Bed frames and cords, blankets, often used below the body, and quilts, more often used above the body, chests for linen, and mattresses all featured in a variety of rooms; rooms for sleeping were not necessarily kept separate from other household activities. The poor would have a chaff mattress, a labourer flock, and a gentleman feather or down. Often two, three or four were piled on to the bed as a prestige symbol. Mirrors were rare before 1640.

About 1600 the furniture value was usually under five pounds, even if the testator was earning 6d to 8d per day. In goods labourers and small farmers were very poor, but what mattered to them was not their household possessions, but their animals. It is thus not easy to judge their wealth or status if we have no idea of their land holdings. Purchase of linen was often a sign of moving up in the world; it was an important social symbol, needing a linen wash-day once a month.

By 1700 comfort, convenience and harmony in the home were important as the country was getting richer, but at the same time the rich / poor gap was increasing.
Half the country inventories at this time still have values under five pounds. Of the 160 Inventories included in one study from this period only 2% had books, two had mirrors, and four had silver. Goods were still not filtering down from the richest to the poorest, and land and animals were still more important than household goods. Wealth is thus still hard to quantify. Privacy was now increasingly important in the home and more rooms were built where possible. Before 1600 half the rural population had two rooms or less, with two to three beds in each room, but after 1640 one third had two rooms or less. By 1700 beds were usually confined to upstairs, and there was an increase in kitchen, brewing and buttery equipment.

When a man died his widow, by Common Law, was entitled to her dower, one third of her husband’s personal estate. This did not need to be mentioned in the Will. Sometimes the customary law of the Manor in which the couple lived changed this to one quarter or one half.

Any children had one third of the personal estate between them, leaving one third to be distributed as the testator wished.

Real estate descended by Common Law to the heir, unless specifically bequeathed elsewhere in the Will. The heir was the eldest son, if there were only daughters they were co-heirs and shared the inheritance.

Richard Rimell appears to be a man of some substance with the farming background common to 90% of the population. It is impossible to assess where Richard stood regarding his relative prosperity or lack of it, without also studying similar details that are available in the records for his neighbours and fellow Brailes residents. This holds true for all of the Rimell family in any period.

James Rimell c1651 - 1721

James was buried in Brailes on 25 February 1721. He left a Will and an Inventory. The sum he had invested - £75 - is a substantial amount and the bulk of his wealth. From the Will it can be assumed he possibly never married and had no children as he includes only his nieces and nephews. The Will is very useful as it tells us about the move by his brothers, John and William, to London. It is possible both of them, as younger brothers, were apprenticed to a master in London to learn a trade, but to date I have only found the record for William.

1703 May 22 James Nash and Winifrid Remell

John left a Will which is full of intriguing comments. What circumstances had Winifred found herself in? Presumably left a widow with many small children. Why had James Nash owed his father-in-law money? Why could Winifred not be trusted with the deeds to the property she inherited? Why did Elizabeth receive so much? Presumably because, as John says, she had had nothing before, but even so her inheritance appears on the surface to be vastly greater than that of her sister. Elizabeth would clearly be an attractive marriage proposition and this may be her marrying in 1721 a year after her father’s death. Had she been needed at home to care for him and had to postpone her marriage?

Elizabeth Rimell c1654 -

Nothing further is known of Elizabeth, but possibly she married a Nicholls - James Rimell (c1651 - 1721) left much of his estate to his nephew John Nicholls. If he meant “nephew” as we use the word this is the only possibility and John must have been Elizabeth‘s son, but often at this time “nephew”, “cousin”, “kinsman” and even “grandson” were used interchangeably.

William Rimell c1656 -

Index of London City Apprenticeships

Rymell William, son of William, Brailes, Warwickshire, yeoman, to John Bowden,
6th June 1674, Painters' Company.

The earliest reference to The Stainers Company is in 1268 and that of the Painters in 1283. The Paynters decorated, gilded and coloured solid objects such as wood, metal and stone, and the Steyners applied colour to woven fabrics; they united in 1502 and became one company, The Painter-Stainers. The Painter-Stainers are twenty-eighth in seniority of the City of London Livery Companies.

The first Painter’s Hall was raised in 1532 and destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. It was then re-built, being completed in 1670. If William ever found himself there it would be in a new building which cannot be seen today as it was destroyed by enemy action in 1941.

The Guilds and the Livery Companies of London were notorious from their inception for their aggressive protection of their respective trades. This frequently involved civil disturbances.

During the C17th (i.e. whilst William was a member) prolonged arguments took place with the Heralds at the College of Arms and with the Plaisterers. The first complained that Painters were indulging in the painting of Arms whilst the Plaisterers complained that the Painter-Stainers were poaching work for which the Plaisterers had trained their apprentices – brightening up plastered walls and ceilings. The arguments were resolved only after many years.

I do not know whom William married, but he had two children, Ann and William. Ann married Robert Almore.

The St.Dunstan’s Registers also show a William Rimell buried 31 December 1693. The Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) Wills Index shows an Admon. was granted in 1694 for a William Rimell, "Citizen and painter stainer of London". This may be the William born Brailes in 1656 as there is the link of the same trade. The William who died 1693 had a wife, Ann, and a son, Isaac, so this could have been a second family.

Supposed Tree compiled from current known details re Rimells in Tysoe

Nicholas Rymell (Buried 6 October 1582 Temple Tysoe) married Annes /Agnes (Buried
19 March 1611 at Tysoe). (WS 07)

They had children Richard, William and Thomas.

Richard married Mary Rose 7 July 1590 and was buried 12 November 1620. See below.

William married Gilian Gryenge 18 May 1593 and they had children Nicholas and Edmund.
Nicholas was baptised 9 February 1600 and later lived in London. Edmund was baptised 25 March 1604.

Of Thomas I know nothing further, but he may have been the Thomas to whom Mary declared her non-cupative Will in 1633.

Richard and Mary nee Rose had five children - Susanna (baptised 25 September 1595), Jonas (baptised 28 May 1600), Eleanor / Ellen (baptised 1 May 1603), Elizabeth and Ann.

Jonas married Mary Mistor 30 October 1631. They had children Mary 1634, Anne 1637, Elizabeth 1645, Lucie 1654, plus six others who died as children.

Eleanor / Ellen married Anthony Ward 14 April 1630.

Elizabeth married William Ward and had children Thomas and Mary.

The difficulties to be overcome here are that Mary mentions in her Will her three children and her son-in-law Jonas. Putting all the sources together, there are five children, but Ann and Susanna could easily be the same person, or, if two daughters, Susanna could be dead. Jonas could be Mary’s son-in-law if Richard married twice and the testatrix was in fact his second wife and not Mary nee Rose. This would mean both wives would have been named Mary but this is a very likely occurrence considering the huge numbers of girls given this name proportionate to any other name. The scenario would then be as follows -

Richard Rimell married Mary Rose 1590

Susanna born 1595 dies before 1611 when Agnes Rimell left her Will.

Jonas born 1600

Mary nee Rose dies

Richard re-marries Mary ---------

Eleanor born 1603

Elizabeth and Ann born

Mary made her Will 16th May 1633. She mentions the two children of Nicholas Rymell of London. The IGI shows a Nicholas Rymell baptising children in St. Giles Cripplegate 1626 - 1646. By May 1633 three children had been baptised, but two were named Elizabeth, so it can be assumed the first daughter died.

Nicholas Rimell married Annes, had children Richard, William and Thomas, and was buried Temple Tysoe 1582. He left a Will and an Inventory.

His son, William, had two sons per the Will of Agnes Rimell, widow, 1611, (probate granted April 1612) if she is Annes, William‘s mother and widow of Nicholas. The Tysoe burial register notes her as “19 March 1611 Widdow Rimell the mother of Richard.“ (1612 would have commenced on March 25th) The Will is in very poor condition and only partly readable. Tysoe Parish Registers show the baptism of sons of William Rimell, Nycolas 9 Feb. 1600 and Edmund 25 March 1604.
A William Rymell married Gilian Gryenge at Tysoe on 18 May 1593.

Extract from -

Upper Slaughter - The Diary of a Cotswold Parson Rev F E Witts 1783-1854

“20 February 1838

Wrote to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on behalf of the Smith family of Eyford to enquire about emigration to New South Wales. The enquiry was suggested in a letter from Sam Smith who emigrated about a year ago accepting an invitation from a colonist from the neighbourhood of Cheltenham named Arkell, now advanced in life, who has acquired valuable property in land, stock etc and wished for a young Gloucestershire farmer to come out to assist him in cultivating his property in the interior of Bathhurst county.

Sam Smith has been cordially received and is now engaged to marry the daughter of Arkell. He considers himself on the high road to prosperity and wishes members of his own family to follow his example, and desires them to send out to him four married labourers with families whom Arkell will engage, and also a carpenter.”

For all the details of Samuel’s life after he left the UK I am indebted over the years to several correspondents in Australia.

Summary

Samuel Smith spent his early years of married life as Manager for Thomas Arkell (Elizabeth Millage’s adopted father) at “Charlton” near Bathurst. He inherited land from Arkell, later residing at “Mulgunnia” (South of “Charlton” and also owned by Arkell). In 1855, Frederick Darling’s baptism entry gives Samuel’s occupation as “Gentleman” and his location as “Austenham” which was his home in Sydney. He bought and sold land on the Upper Darling River and in Queensland. He was speared by a trusted black boy while near the Lower Lachlan River en route to Cunnamulla where he had property, possibly while trying to establish a stock route for his cattle.

Samuel probably reached New South Wales in 1837. His sister, Elizabeth, named her son born in 1837 “Samuel Smith” possibly as a tribute to her recently departed brother.

Samuel settled on the Campbell’s River near Rockley. I am told an entry in an old book seen at his home, Mulgunnia, near Trunkey Creek, indicated that he had been an officer on a sailing ship. No details of this are known including whether it was a naval or a military officer. No record has yet been found of his arrival in New South Wales.

Thomas Arkell gave Elizabeth 1607 acres at Mulgunnia Creek, and 640 acres of this land, "Mulgunnia", became the Smith's family home. Samuel received four properties from Thomas Arkell. These were Corowa, The Grove, Trunkies Valley and River Station, a total of 3084 acres. All these properties were later entailed by Thomas Arkell to the three eldest of Elizabeth and Samuel’s children.

Samuel and Elizabeth lived at Charlton whilst Samuel helped manage Thomas Arkell's affairs for him. The Smith family later received further property as an acknowledgement of Samuel’s hard work.

When Thomas Arkell died Samuel was co-executor of his will, along with his sister-in-law Lucy Ann's husband, Charles Marsden McPhillamy.

Later Samuel and Elizabeth lived at "Mulgunnia" although they also owned other houses in Sydney. One property was Austenham House, situated at Long Cove (now Iron Cove). Part of the Rozelle Hospital boundary is now located on the old site. This house was sold in 1863 when they purchased Albion House at Millers Point. Albion House stood near the present site of the Sydney Port Operations Control Tower, overlooking the harbour. It was described as a magnificent villa of eight rooms erected by the architect Henry Cooper.

Samuel was active in buying and selling land as well as grazing large flocks of sheep on his country properties. It was on an expedition to find new grazing lands that he met with the tragedy that affected the rest of his life, although he continued to expand his properties, taking up land at Cunnamulla, Queensland in 1863. There he had three runs, Trunkey, Hariman, and Chance, totalling 250 square miles.

Samuel died in 1866 at the family home, Mulgunnia, aged 54. He is buried in the Church of England section of the cemetery at Bathurst.

Following Samuel's death, Elizabeth managed her family's affairs. She sold Albion House and moved, firstly to Glebe, then later to Parramatta. In 1881 she sold the 640 acre property of Mulgunnia to her eldest son, Thomas Arkell Smith, the entail having been removed previously.
In January 1900 at the age of 77, Elizabeth died of cardiac failure at Tauri, the Bathurst property of her third son, George Sydney Smith. She is buried with her husband, Samuel, in the Church of England cemetery at Bathurst.

Sunday Times (Australia) 23 April 1905 by Charles White

“The life of the pioneer squatters and settlers even as late as the fifties was not all poetry. Occasionally it was prose running in the heaviest vein, the pages of which were not infrequently adorned with illustrations in most lurid colours. Let me tell one little story of early pioneering effort.

Early in September 1856 three of the pioneer squatters of the Western Plains who had taken up, occupied, and stocked good grass country on the lower Lachlan, determined on a tour of inspection further west. They were anxious to see what the country was like near the little known River Darling, about which the early explorers, Sturt and Mitchell, had spoken favourably, and here and there upon which a few adventurous mortals had formed runs. The names of the speculative trio were Samuel Smith of Wyathero, Nichilos Tom of Cowl, and Moore of Booligal, all graziers of the lower Lachlan, and all hardy, skilful & experienced bushmen.
Having made all preparations for their journey in the shape of feeding, packing provisions, etc, on the morning of the 21st Sept. they set out across the comparatively open plains which lay between their stations and the river towards which their eyes were directed, taking with them two assigned convicts and a half civilised aboriginal, who had come from the Darling Country and been employed on one of the stations. It was considered that he would prove useful both as a guide across the unknown country and also as an interpreter, and perhaps a buffer, between the party and anything they might meet on the trip.

All went well until the early morning of the 26th, the party having reached Mt Manana, about forty miles from the Darling River. They had not experienced any trouble with the blacks whose territory they had entered, and who, with the kangaroo and other native game, were the sole occupants of the whole country surrounding. They had the night previously pitched their camp at the foot of the mount. Thoroughly wearied with their five days riding they were naturally excited over the prospects of tomorrow, or the day after at most, obtaining a firm view of the river, which but few white men had seen, and they retired to rest upon primitive beds with a comfortable sense of satisfaction that their difficult and dangerous task was almost accomplished, and that the morrow would bring the full fruition of their hopes. Theirs may have been the dreamless slumber which comes to mortals physically tired, or slumber which carried them into the future, giving them visions of extensive areas of grass lands well watered by a broad ever-flowing river, and stocked with herds of cattle of the highest breeding, of which they themselves were owners.

But there was one member of that party of six who neither slept nor dreamt that night.
He had curled himself down in his blanket near the fire at which the evening meal had
been prepared, but his keen eyes and ears were never keener than when living there. He was in his own land, near his own people, and although he did not give voice to his thoughts and feelings there was that working within him which later made his feet and his hands strong to betray them to a tribe of his own county men in the vicinity. When nearing the camping ground, he did not enlighten the white companions with where they rode, but the sequel shows how clearly enough he knew there were members of his own tribe in the neighbourhood, and with brains galvanised to the highest point of native cunning, he lay plotting and watching his opportunity. When deep sleep had fallen. on the party in camp he silently stole out into the night and was soon lost amidst the shadows of the trees. The wearied travellers slept on, and were still wrapped in deep unconsciousness which, especially in the lonely bush, generally accompanies the darkest hours before dawn, when a score of naked forms began to glide noiselessly from tree to tree, nearing the camp at every movement. There was one among then who might have been distinguished from the rest in that he had a shirt and trousers of European make, and it was he who directed the movements of his companions. Each of the black-fellows carried his weapon of war - the spear and the waddy - and in the hands of each of them gleamed the bright blade of the tomahawk.

Suddenly the deep silence of the early morning was rudely broken by a savage yell from the throats in which the thirst for blood was strong. Simultaneously there was a flight of spears, cast from a short distance, aimed at the sleeping forms of the inmates of the camp. Then a rush of dusky devils with clubs up-lifted for the deadly blow, the purpose of the assailants evidently being to kill the white men before they could rise up and defend themselves. Fortunately for the sleeping travellers the first cast of spears was not effective and they sprang to their feet as one man to make a desperate struggle for life. Before Moore could make more than a hurried movement however he was struck a blow on the head from a tomahawk and badly wounded. As Smith sprang to his feet, not having had time to seize a weapon for defence, he caught the black-fellow nearest him by the wrist diverting the blow at his head, but he was immediately attacked from behind by another assailant who drove spear into his back. Nicholas Tom and two servant men had reached for their guns as they leaped to their feet and began to operate with them just as poor Smith fell. The black who used the spear with apparently deadly effect, and was in the act of braining Smith with a nullah-nullah, fell before the first volley. Before the guns could be re-loaded the whole pack without exception fled back into the scrub.

As soon as the blacks were beaten off attention was turned to the two wounded men and it was found that Moore had received a nasty wound on the head from a “tommy”, but the wound was not considered serious. Smith's case was most serious, and it was seen that he was in a very bad way. The spear had penetrated his back just below the left collar bone and then broken off with about five inches of the wood remaining in the wound. Fortunately no vital part had been injured , but the haemorrhage and pain produced great weakness, and as the broken spear point could not be removed his condition became critical. Needless to say the expedition was at once abandoned and the return journey to the Lachlan was commenced without delay. Word cannot describe what Smith suffered during the long and wearisome days that followed on the journey through the bush. His companions almost despaired of succeeding in reaching the Lachlan with him alive. Almost every step taken by the horse reintensified the man’s agony, causing as it did a fresh stab from the deeply embedded spear head. He bore the pain without a murmur, buoyed up with the hope of obtaining speedy relief after his return.

When the party had covered all but the last fifty miles of the distance one of the servant men was sent on ahead to Mr. Joseph Smith’s Merrowee Station with instructions to have a messenger sent out from there at full speed to bring the nearest surgeon. The overseer of the station, Mr Tom Lee, at once volunteered for that service and straightaway set out on a journey of 350 miles to Bathurst, that being the nearest point at which a doctor could be found. Lee covered the distance in record time and in due course returned to Merrowee with Dr Brown, the journey back and forth having occupied only six days. Meanwhile Smith and his companions had reached the station and everything possible had been done to ease the sufferer and to keep up his strength pending the arrival of the surgeon. When the doctor arrived he found the patient in a very weak condition, but the case would not admit of further delay and as promptly as possible knife and forceps were brought into play.

The result was disappointing, for, do his utmost, Dr Brown could only succeed in extracting a portion of the wood about three and a half inches long. Although a second smaller piece sloughed from the wound on the following day the point of the spear still remained, being held fast in some unaccountable way. Dr. Brown remained with his patient for some days, and then drove him in easy stages to Mr. Joseph Smith’s homestead at Mulgunnia near Trunkey. Here they remained for several days and then a move was made to the residence of Charles McPhillamy at Charlton, near Rockley, where the wounded man remained in a low condition for several months, until, having gained sufficient strength to warrant the journey, he was removed to his residence at Petersham near Sydney. Here Drs Robertson, Natham, O'Brien and Bland frequently saw him singly and in consultation, the "case"' being considered a most interesting one from a surgical point of view, but failure attended all their efforts to remove the spear point, which they discovered was stuck fast in the blade bone.

Rendered, weaker, and with suffering intensified by the probing and cutting which he was subjected to at the Surgeon's hands, enduring sustained agony under which most men would have succumbed and despairing at last of finding relief in the colony, the wounded man declared his intention of visiting England and placing himself in the hands of the best surgeons there. He was dissuaded from pursuing this course, however by Drs. George and Tuthero, both valued and personal friends. who induced him to let them make one more effort to remove the spear point.
The operation proved a most tedious and painful one but to their joy it proved successful and the foreign substance was recovered from the body. The wounded man thereafter gained strength, but he never quite recovered from the shook and the prolonged suffering.. He died a few years later, the spear wound being the primary cause of death.

The broken spear was removed from the body in five pieces and preserved by Mr. Smith’s family as a memento of the fatal journey up the Darling, so rudely terminated by the treachery of a black boy. It was later joined together, the length being five and three-quarter inches.”

It is impossible to devise a simple easy-to-follow system for presenting the details of a large family tree.

As part of my own records I keep a “working sheet” for family groups. Each working sheet shows the parents (birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial) but gives fuller details of their children lives.

The information I am entering here is divided into those family groups, hence each entry title starts “WS”. The numbering system is illogical because it has expanded since 1984 as my information has expanded and it will make no sense to anyone but me. However, if the text says “See WS 23” then that is where more information will be found. This may not be immediately. I may have not entered WS 23 here yet. Not all individuals have a working sheet. Information may well be repeated at various points in order to aid clarity. Not all the information I have is entered as not all is collated as yet - this is a work in progress.

All mistakes of fact, transcription, interpretation and supposition are my own. I aim for total accuracy but am human. Corrections with source references very welcome as only then will the truth be found.

William Smith

Parents I cannot be certain of the parents of William but suggest they may be William and Elizabeth Smith nee Drury. This is because when William, junior, died he left a Will in which he gave a useful clue in naming his son Samuel as a resident of Blackwell, showing the Smith family had connections in that hamlet of Tredington. It is because of this that I am willing to suggest that William was the son of William Smith who died on 31st July 1784, aged 73, and who was buried in Weston Subedge churchyard. His memorial inscription says, “late of this Parish, formerly of Blackwell.”

William senior also left a Will, in which he names a son William.

Abstract of the Will of William Smith 1816

of Weston Subedge, Gentleman

My messuage and lands in Weston Subedge now in my own occupation, also several cottages, gardens, orchards, closes, land and premises, together with half a yardland in the open and common fields of Weston Subedge, which I hold by two separate leases for lives under Walwyn Graves esquire -

I give to my good friends Cotterell Corbett of Honeybourne Grounds, gentleman, and Charles Marshall of Old Combe, gentleman, in trust until my youngest son, David Smith, becomes 21
Using the profits thereof in the meantime to maintain my youngest children

When David becomes 21 I give to my son John Smith the messuage where I now live in Weston Subedge which I bought from ---- Woodcock, with the gardens and orchards adjoining and all the several closes and inclosed grounds known by the name of Durhams

To my son Joseph Smith all the messuage and lands closes and inclosed grounds in Weston Subedge previously belonging to Thomas Fletcher

To my son Richard Smith the messuage and farm lands in Weston Subedge that I recently purchased from Walwyn Graves, and the cottage and lands in Aston Subedge that I hold by lease from Walwyn Graves for my own life and that of my two sons John and Thomas Smith

To my son Robert Smith the messuage with the cider mill gardens orchards closes and inclosed grounds and half yardland in Weston Subedge which was left to me by my late uncle Mr John Drury deceased and also the cottage with the gardens orchards and half yardland in Weston Subedge which I hold by lease from Walwyn Graves

To my wife Hannah Smith all the messuage farmlands in Blackwell, county Worcester now in the occupation of my son Samuel Smith which I hold by Copy of Court Roll under the Dean and Chapter of Worcester for life, and after my wife’s death to my son David Smith

To my son Samuel Smith the messuage gardens orchards closes and inclosed grounds in Blackwell now in the occupation of my son Samuel Smith which I hold by a lease for 21 years from the Dean and Chapter of Worcester

If my sons Joseph and Richard Smith should wish to manage the farms before my son David becomes 21, and the Trustees agree, they may do so under the management of the Trustees until David is 21, and in this case I give them twenty pounds each for each year that they undertake this management

To my son Richard Smith £600
To my son Robert Smith £700
To my son David Smith £700
All to be paid when David reaches 21

If David should die underage the bequests should be made when my next youngest son becomes 21

All the rest of my estate to my Trustees in trust until David is 21 and then it should be divided equally amongst all my children

To my wife and to my youngest sons, Richard, Robert and David Smith my household furniture and contents to be equally divided between them

My wife shall be at liberty to live in the house where I now live during her life if she wishes to do so

Executors my sons John Smith and David Smith

Signed 17th April 1813

Witness Geo. Cotterell Elizth. Cotterell Robt. Cotterell

Proved London 26th July 1816 by John Smith and David Smith

So William appears to have been a man of some wealth and standing, quite happy to describe himself not as “husbandman”, “yeoman” or even “farmer”, but as a “Gentleman”. He owned land in his own right and leased more. He does not name all his children in his Will. Daughters may well have had their portion on marriage, but neither William nor Thomas are mentioned. This could mean they too had had their portion previously, or it might suggest they were deceased by 1813, but I am assuming they were not.

Notes

Bigland records that on the Gallery over the West-end of Weston Subedge church it says, “This Church was repaired and beautified in the Year of our Lord 1795. William Smith and James Sansom, Ch. Wardens.”

William Smith

If William was born close to his baptism date in January 1776, it could be him baptising children and then buried in Willersey, aged 63 in 1838, BUT there are millions of Smiths in Broadway, and it could be this is not even the right couple.

It is impossible to devise a simple easy-to-follow system for presenting the details of a large family tree.

As part of my own records I keep a “working sheet” for family groups. Each working sheet shows the parents (birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial) but gives fuller details of their children lives.

The information I am entering here is divided into those family groups, hence each entry title starts “WS”. The numbering system is illogical because it has expanded since 1984 as my information has expanded and it will make no sense to anyone but me. However, if the text says “See WS 23” then that is where more information will be found. This may not be immediately. I may have not entered WS 23 here yet. Not all individuals have a working sheet. Information may well be repeated at various points in order to aid clarity. Not all the information I have is entered as not all is collated as yet - this is a work in progress.

All mistakes of fact, transcription, interpretation and supposition are my own. I aim for total accuracy but am human. Corrections with source references very welcome as only then will the truth be found.

I have a note that a Henry Harvey Bennett from Cow Honeybourne, Gloucestershire married Elizabeth Tandy, who was from Oldland, some time before September1858. At that date they arrived in Australia as a married couple. Henry’s parents, given then as Thomas and Sarah Bennett were living at Hanham, not far from Mangotsfield. I have no confirmation of this information but I cannot find this family after 1851. Did they all emigrate to Australia?

Why she was employed as a servant, and described as such, by a family member when her husband, and four of her children in separate households, were living in Bretforton is a mystery.

The original is very feint, but it is indexed as showing a Sarah Rimell age 10 as a pupil. She was born in Worcestershire. This could be Sarah, as there is no other entry in Worcestershire or Gloucestershire for a child of her name and age. As the entry is so feint, this supposition relies on the indexing of names being accurate.

Rimell Raleigh Edgcombe A Holbeach 7a 396

Raleigh lost his life whilst accompanying his friend, Jack Fawcett, on an expedition in Brazil commencing in 1925 and lead by Jack’s father, Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett.
There are many accounts of this expedition but the bare bones are usually given as follows -
“Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett embarked on a mission to find a city he believed was part of legendary Atlantis. It was not his first attempt but in 1925, Col. Fawcett, now 58, tried again, this time financed by newspaper companies and by England's Royal Geographical Society. Colonel Fawcett, Jack and Raleigh set off from St David's station in Exeter on what was to be his final mission.
On April 20, he marched from the town of Cuyaba, taking his son, Jack, his son's friend, Raleigh Rimell, and two Mufuquas Indians, who deserted him seven months later.
Raleigh was the son of a Seaton doctor and a most unlikely person to be caught up with the Fawcett saga, but was one of its primary victims. He planned to go to Hollywood to become a movie star and it seems that he believed he was going along on the expedition for an extended adventure holiday, before settling in Los Angeles.
The British explorer's expedition pushed into the heart of Brazil's Mato Grasso where, on May 30, he proudly boasted in a letter to supporters back home: ``You need have no fear of failure.'' Their last message from a remote jungle outpost called Dead Horse Camp read: "We are going to have a thoroughly good time in Brazil until we vanish into the forests for three years or so."
That was the last anyone heard from the colonel. His disappearance shocked and saddened millions around the world who were cheering on his attempt to find ``Z,'' the name he had given the lost city.
A search party in 1928 found a small trunk believed to belong to the missing explorers but nothing else. They were told that hostile natives had killed the three white men soon after they entered the heavy forest.”

Ellen must be “Nellie” in 1871.

Jane has two entries in the 1881 Census. Presumably she was visiting one household on census night, but whichever one was her main residence recorded her as being there also.

This site gives much information regarding the Genn family of Canada. The following is an abstract -

“William Genn was born 6 March 1754, in Greensboro, Maryland, and arrived in Falmouth, Cornwall, before 1780. He married Phillis Tiddy, by licence, in Falmouth, on 3 June 1781. They had three sons and three daughters including William born 1 June 1788.

William Genn Jr. married Nancy Ditchett, born in Plymouth, Devon, and christened 23 July 1795 at Batter Street Presbyterian, daughter of John and Elizabeth Ditchett. William and Nancy Genn apparently spent some time in New York, as their son, James Ditchett Genn was born there on the 28 March 1817.

James D. Genn, in 1844 was established as a watch and clockmaker, Market Street, Falmouth. It would appear that he took over his fathers business. The 1851 census lists him as a jeweller and Watchmaker.

William Genn Jr. died at sea August 1830 en route from Valdivia to Valparaiso (both in Chile). By 1851 his widow, Nancy Genn, and son, James D. Genn, lived at 229, Market Street, Falmouth. James Ditchett Genn married Mary Elizabeth Drown, 18 April 1860, at St. Johns, Hackney, London. Their son, George Murray Genn, was born in 1861. Nancy Genn died 27 June 1881 at Oak Terrace, Ponsanooth, near Falmouth.”

This is odd. Mary could be Mary Elizabeth Drown as she is born Falmouth and the right age. Her son was born Bideford c1875, and Mary and her husband were in Bideford in 1871,but she says she is a widow. Her husband, James Ditchett Genn, is alive, living in Exeter and claiming to be married.
