Andrew BACKE (1663-?)

and Barbara FULLER (1662-?)

and Elizabeth JONES (?-?)

 

Andrew Beck and Barbara Fuller were my 8x Great Grandparents.  (Click here to see their place in my pedigree chart.)  They married on 11 June 1689 in Arlington, Sussex.  He was then of Folkington, Sussex and she of Arlington.

Andrew Backe was baptised on 11 December 1663 in Wilmington, Sussex.  He was the son of Henry Back (1630-1680) and Hannah Tourle (1638-1697).  Andrew and his wife were tenants on land in Arlington owned by the Folkington Estate.  From the will of Sir William Thomas of Folkington, dated 4 December 1702, comes the following extract "... a house, farm and lands in Hailsham and Arlington in occupation of Andrew Back and woods near adjoining called Highway lands, the Hopp garden, and the Ruffetts...".  And from another document dated 6 and 7 July 1722 "... a farm and lands in Hailsham and Arlington late in the tenure of Andrew Back and then widow Bodle...".  Andrew was also named as the father of an illegitimate son by Elizabeth Jones.

Barbary Fuller was baptised on 12 April 1662 in Willingdon, Sussex.  She was the daughter of Edward Fuller and Barbara Bridges.  Her Christian name was recorded as Barbara when she married and against the baptism of their first child but as Margeriae against the baptisms of 3 further children.

Neither Andrew or Barbara seem to have been baptised in Arlington.

Elizabeth Jones's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.

 

Andrew Backe and Barbara Fuller had 4 known children:

  1. Thomas Beck was baptised on 26 September 1691 in Folkington, Sussex.  The baptism register records that he was the son of Andrew and Barbara.

  2. Andrew Back was baptised on 6 June 1694 in Arlington.  The baptism register records that he was the son of Andreae and Margeriae.  Did he marry Ann Peckham on 14 April 1732 in Ringmer, Sussex?  However, there was another Andrew Back who was baptised on 11 September 1692 in Denton, Sussex, the son of Richard Back (1658-1696) and Mary.  An Andrew Back was buried on 23 December 1772 in Ringmer.

  3. Daniel Beck, my 7x Great Grandfather, was baptised on 6 December 1696 in Arlington.  He married twice, firstly to Mary Reeve in 1723 and then to Ann.  (They have their own page.)

  4. Jana Beck was baptised on 12 December 1698 in Arlington.  The baptism register records that she was the daughter of Andreae and Margeriae.

 

Andrew Backe and Elizabeth Jones had 1 known son:

  1. Thomas Jones was baptised on 13 March 1707/8 in Hellingly, Sussex.  His father was of Arlington and his mother of Hellingly at the time of his baptism.
