John Smart

• Marriage License: John Smart and Lucy Young obtained a marriage licence on 20 June 1795 at Archdeaconry of Lewes, Sussex, England.¹
• Marriage*: John Smart married Lucy Young, daughter of Samuel Young and Mary Sutton, on 21 June 1795 at Eastbourne, Sussex, England^B, John of Brighton; Lucy of this parish.¹
• Anecdote*: There is some useful information on the marriage licence issued one day before the actual marriage: John Smart is a bachelor in the Royal Regiment Artillery, age 24 encamped at Brighton. Lucy is age 20 marrying with the consent of her mother, Mary Young, widow of Eastbourne.
  Information from Marion Woolgar: "Roy Grant published a book on the Brighton Garrison some years ago and when replying to queries on the My Brighton & Hove web site in 2015 he wrote "the Barracks were built in 1793 and the first regiment to occupy the original buildings were The Royal Horse Artillery (1793-1795) they were followed (1794) by a detachment from The Royal Regiment of Artificers." I wonder if John SMART might have been of the Artificers and not the Artillery? I believe that the Artificers later became part of the Royal Engineers." This needs to be followed up.
  Also, there is an article in The Oxford Times, 10 November 2010, about the execution of two soldiers on 13 June 1795 at Goldstone Bottom, Hove (near Brighton) with thousands of soldiers and militia men forced to witness as an example. John Smart would surely have witnessed this. (http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/lifestyle/history/8628554.Mutiny_over_grain_leads_to_executions/.)
• Anecdote: Lucy's first child, Mary Ann, was born in 1795 just one month after her marriage to John Smart. Lucy then had four children between 1800-1806 at Tarring Neville in East Sussex to the same reputed father, Thomas Woolgar. They eventually married in 1807. This suggests that John Smart may have died before 1800. Being a soldier, perhaps he went to war and never returned? Alternatively, he may have deserted Lucy after being posted somewhere. Perhaps it was the uncertainty as to whether he was alive that was the reason why Lucy and Thomas Woolgar didn't/couldn't marry until 1807. Lucy's removal order from Heighton to Eastbourne in 1806 states that she is a widow, and this order may have been what prompted them to marry.
  Research on Lucy's grandfather, Samuel Young, shows that he was born at Denton, next to Heighton. Samuel was left an orphan in 1719 when his father John Young of Newhaven died, and he and his siblings were placed in the care of John Young's brother, Samuel Young of Beddingham, and his brother-in-law James Chambers who lived at Seaford. Both John Young and James Chambers were closely connected to the Denton/Heighton area. Family connections were therefore the likely reason for Lucy Smart's residence in Heighton.

Mary Sutton

Parents:

• Birth: Mary Sutton was born in 1743 at Eastbourne, Sussex, England^B.

Samuel Young

Parents:

• Baptism*: Samuel Young was baptized on 22 April 1739 at Beddingham, Sussex, England^B.¹
• He was the son of Samuel Young and Lucy Grayling.
• Anecdote: The following baptisms are possibilities for Samuel:
  1. 22 Apr 1739 at Beddingham, son of Samuel and Lucy Young
  2. 10 Oct 1725 at West Firle, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Young (an earlier Samuel baptised 1721/22 to same parents is considered to have died although no burial record exists)
  3. 27 Aug 1727 at Brighton son of William (an earlier Samuel baptised 1723, son of William, is considered to have died although nor burial record exists)
  The first baptism is thought most likely because of the name Lucy being carried through to one of the daughters and also because of the later association of Lucy Young (1775-1827) with Heighton, the area where Samuel's father was born (at Denton next to Heighton) and also where Samuel's mother's family were from.
• Marriage*: Samuel Young married Mary Sutton, daughter of John Sutton and Elizabeth Verrall, on 7 November 1763 at Eastbourne, Sussex, England^B.²

  2. 12 Nov 1696 son of Samuel and Ann Young at Beddingham (but he was buried 1 Dec 1696 at Beddingham)
  3. 12 Jun 1700 son of Samuel and Ann Younge at Beddingham (but he married Elizabeth, left will proved 1736)
  4. 2 Mar 1708/09 son of John and Mary Young at Denton St Leonard (most likely - Denton is close to Beddingham and John's will proved 1719 shows that he is the brother of Samuel Young of Beddingham who died 1689)

• (Witness) Will: Samuel Young is mentioned in the will of John Young dated 26 October 1719 at Newhaven, Sussex, England^B.^5,6
• Anecdote: Samuel was 10 years old when his father died in 1719 and it appears that his mother died before this. Samuel's uncle, Samuel of Beddingham (c1658-1736), was made a joint trustee responsible for the maintenance and education of Samuel and his brothers and sisters (refer John Young's will, 1719). It would therefore be reasonable to assume that Samuel spent his teenage years based in Beddingham under his uncle's supervision, hence he is noted as "of Beddingham" on his marriage. He continued to live in Beddingham after his marriage to Lucy Grayling. His son Samuel made the move to Eastbourne and married Mary Sutton there.
• (Witness) Will: Samuel Young is mentioned in the will of Clement Bean dated 19 September 1730 at Seaford, Sussex, England^B.^7,8
• (Witness) Will: Samuel Young is mentioned in the will of Samuel Young dated 6 May 1732 at Beddingham, Sussex, England^B.^9,10
• Anecdote*: Samuel is possibly the Samuel Young mentioned in the codicil of the will of Samuel Young (c1658-1736) and if so, was left 20 pounds. It also states that Samuel was a servant of William Hill of South Malling. This would have been before his marriage in 1738.

• Married Name: As of 25 April 1738, her married name was Young.¹
