The
earliest known ancestor is Matthew WENDON, a poor boy who was apprenticed by
Witham parish to a weaver in Witham in 1715 when he was 10 years old,
possibly after his mother remarried.
He married Frances TOPPIN in 1722 only half way through his
apprenticeship, probably because a child was due the next month. Frances
died in 1736 and Matthew remarried
Sarah VAILES the following year. Their son Samuel, married and moved to
Terling. Samuel’s
first wife died in childbirth and Samuel remarried Elizabeth DUDLEY at Terling in 1785. Samuel was probably a weaver like his father, but could not
make a living and was sent back to Witham (by the SPEAKMANs) but he managed
to return to Terling after a year or two. Samuel's
son, Matthew, moved south and married Elizabeth SKINGLEY at Paglesham in
1815. They had nine children
altogether at Southchurch and then Prittlewell before settling at
Barling. Their
youngest daughter, Martha Ann, married Henry MANN who lived along the road at
Sutton near Rochford. Until her death
in 1921, Martha lived at Elim Cottage in Shoebury where Henry had a market
garden. |

1)
B6. origin of Matthew and the confusing duplication
of Matthew/Sarah names at Witham
2)
B5. confirmation that Samuel was baptised in
1752 and not 1761; age at burial would help but burial has not been found – not
in NBI
