My Thorpe Ancestors
I join the Thorpe tree with a 6x Great Grandmother
Mary Thorpe
who was born in 1734 in Maresfield, Sussex. She married
Walter Sawyers
(1726-1780) in 1751 also in Maresfield, which is where they raised their
family.
Mary's father
Thomas Thorpe (1711-1794) was also born in Maresfield. He married
Elizabeth Duffield (1707-1793), who was from nearby Isfield. His
father Richard Thorpe (1670-1742) had been born in Buxted, but had settled in
Maresfield by the time his first child was baptised there in January 1697.
He is said to have married
Elizabeth Clark in 1694 in Old Windsor, Berkshire, but I don't know
where this data comes from. Richard was a Labourer.
Richard was the son of
Benedict Thorpe
(1634-1697) and
Susanna Browne (c1638-1692).
Benedict was born in Ifield, Sussex, up on the Sussex/Surrey border.
He may have been born at a time when the family fortunes were on the
decline. His father
John Thorpe
(c1608-1659) had been described as a Gent, and his Grandfather, another
John
Thorpe (c1534-1607) had been a very wealthy Iron Master. In
between the 2 Johns came
Giles Thorpe (1577-1632). He was baptised in East Grinstead, but
may have been born in Worth.
