Chart of the Paine Family

 

Richard and Mary’s eldest child was Richard Paine who was born at Herstmonceux in Sussex and baptised at the Parish Church of All Saints in Herstmonceux on 11 April 1714. When he was 26 years old Richard married Mary Dan at the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene in Wartling, Sussex on 5 June 1740 by licence. Richard was then living at Herstmonceux and Mary at Wartling. They lived at Herstmonceux where they had eight children born between 1741 and 1760, the first of whom died when only a few days old and the last died when only about a month old.

When he made his will on 19 September 1782 Richard described himself as a yeoman of Waldron in Sussex; he died seventeen months later, at the age of 69, and was buried in the Churchyard of All Saints at Herstmonceux on 5 February 1784. Richard’s will was proved by the Archdeaconry of Lewes on 24 April 1784, when it was declared that the value of his personal estate was under £600. The will required that all his real and personal estate, except for household furniture required for the use of his wife, was to be sold by his executors, who were his wife Mary, his son William, and his son-in-law Henry Ticehurst, and the money raised invested. The interest from this money was to be paid to his wife during her life and if this was not sufficient for her comfortable maintenance then some of the principal money was to be paid to her.

Seventeen years after her husband’s death Mary died and was buried in the Churchyard of All Saints at Herstmonceux on 17 October 1801. The terms of Richard’s will were that after his wife’s death the following should happen: His son William was to receive £50 that was to come out of the money he had received from his father, which was presumably as a loan that would have needed to be repaid to his father’s estate. William was given a further bequest of £5 and Richard’s son-in-law Henry Ticehurst was to receive a like bequest of £5. The remainder of Richard’s estate was to then be equally divided between his son William, his daughter Elizabeth Iggulden, his daughter Mary Gates, his daughter Ann Ticehurst and his daughter Sarah Paine.[1]

 

Richard and Mary’s eldest child was William Paine who was born at Herstmonceux in Sussex and baptised at the Parish Church of All Saints in Herstmonceux on 6 February 1741.

When his father died in 1784 William was one of the executors of his will. Then when his mother died in 1801, according to the terms of his father’s will, William received £50 that was to come from the money that he owed his father’s estate; also a separate bequest of £5 and one fifth of the residue of her father’s estate.

Joseph was then a farmer living at Chalvington in Sussex and Mary was living at Herstmonceux. Joseph was the son of Thomas and Catherine Gates; he was born at Ripe in Sussex and baptised at the Parish Church of St John the Baptist in Ripe on 1 March 1740.

This will required the executors, Henry’s sons Henry and Richard, to invest his personal estate and pay the interest to his wife Anne during her life.

Nine years after her husband’s death Anne died at Dallington, at the age of 83, and was buried in the Churchyard of St Giles at Dallington on 28 February 1837.
