Mary Barber

b. 14 February 1718/19

Parents:

Father: Richard Barber b. c 1673, d. 1722
Mother: Margaret Wigzell b. 18 Jul 1688
Last Edited: 14 Apr 2018
  • Baptism*: Mary Barber was baptized on 14 February 1718/19 at Kemsing, Kent, EnglandB.
  • She was the daughter of Richard Barber and Margaret Wigzell.
  • Anecdote: Mary's existence is evident from the will of her uncle, Thomas Barber (1749) although there is no baptism for her in Tonbridge. However, there is a baptism in Kemsing in 1718 of Mary, daughter of Richard Barber of Leigh. This is likely to be the correct baptism, as Richard and Margaret were married in Kemsing. Also, Richard and Margaret lived in Hildenborough, and could have been closer to Leigh than Tonbridge, and thus considered that they were part of Leigh. Although the baptism is very close to the baptism of Mary's sister Martha in 1718 in Tonbridge, there could be a reason for this (did Martha have a late baptism?). Note also that in the Kemsing parish register, there is a gap in the records after Mary's baptism, the next one being recorded on 14 Sep 1720, apparently following the induction of a new minister, or appointment of a new parish clerk, as the handwriting changes then.1
  • Marriage*: Mary Barber married Francis Grassum circa 1740 at England.1
  • Married Name: As of circa 1740, her married name was Grassum.
  • Anecdote*: Note that variants to the name Grassum could be Grassom, Grason, Grayson, Graydon or Graysoon.
  • (Witness) Will: Mary Barber is mentioned in the will of Thomas Barber dated 16 May 1749 at Tonbridge, Kent, EnglandB.1
  • Residence*: On 16 May 1749 Mary Barber and Francis Grassum lived at Lewisham, Kent, England.1
  • Anecdote: Mary received 10 pounds from the will of her uncle Thomas Barber in 1749. The will states "Mary the now wife of Francis Grassum of Lewisham in the said County of Kent, Innholder". The will refers to Mary as a niece, not a sister, and she is listed with the children of Richard and Margaret Barber.1
