My Butler Ancestors

A 6x Great Grandmother was Sarah Butler who married John Jones in 1736 in Salehurst, Sussex.  So far I have not found her baptism, which I would guess was around about 1712.  John was baptised in Salehurst 1708.  I have checked the East Sussex baptism index and could not find anything possible for Sarah.  I think she may have been the daughter of Thomas Butler and Hannah Hickes who had married in Wadhurst, Sussex in 1703, and had children baptised in Salehurst in 1703, 1706, 1709, 1714, 1715, 1717, 1720 and 1722.  John and Sarah named their first daughter Elizabeth after his mother and their second daughter, Hannah.

So far I have not found a will for Thomas, nor his burial, which may have been before 1747.  He may have been baptised in Salehurst in 1665, the son of Thomas Butler, but I am not sure about that.  His wife Hannah was baptised in Salehurst in 1679 and probably died after 1747, as in that year a widow Butler was assessed for the window tax.  She was then living in Robertsbridge, within the parish of Salehurst. 

 

 

To Do List - as at 19 January 2009

Thoroughly recheck the original Salehurst registers for Sarah's baptism in or about 1712.

Salehurst borders Hawkhurst in Kent - check those parish registers for Sarah's possible baptism.

Check any Butler or Hicks wills made after 1700, especially any possible siblings, as they may mention Sarah.

Create family group pages for all Butler families living near Salehurst who had children born between about 1700 and 1720.  Thomas and Hannah would seem to have been the only Butler couple in Salehurst at that time.
