Will of Anthony STEMPE (Details from Janet ALLEN)

"Antony describes his wife as Joan and he was worried about the friction between her and is eldest son Henry.  He left property - Turners and Muttons in Roffey.  This was I believe part of St Leonard's Forest then." The Will mentions two siblings, John and Thomas, who were not traceable in the records.

 

Notes using the information from Janet ALLEN to Margaret JARVIS giving explanation for the decision that Anthony was Thomas's father.

1.  It is known Anthony married at least twice as one of his wives, Joan, was buried on 28th March 1576 and he had children after this date.

Who do we know are his wives? 

.......He married Joan HILL on the 13 October 1566 in Horsham.  The only Joan HILL in the parish records was christened 4th April 1545 daughter of Richard and Elizabeth HILL

.......The mother of the later children was another Joan.   For him to have married Joan AGATE on the 19th May 1577 at Rusper would fit as one of the executors of his Will was Richard AGATE.

 

2.  Re-looking at the Will, it is noriceable that Anthony did not leave monies to either John or Thomas, but to their two sons both John.  Persumably John and Thomas were "set up" as they had married.  Did Joan HILL supply the money to buy the property?  Anthony left Turners to Henry, and if he had no issue to James and William, and only then to Thomas.  (Thomas must have been the "eldest" son).

 

3.  So, is it therefore feasible that Thomas and John were children by a first marriage which may or may not have happened in Horsham (The records are so bad!)  I believe there are two possible options:

.......Agnes, godmother to Agnes NTGHTINGALL 3rd November 1560 or

.......Dowsable, buried 28th December 1565

Anthony could have had by his first wife:

         Thomas

         John who married Margaret (but where?)

         Agnes - possible, who was the mother of the base borne Anthony

         Robert?

 

Information from David STEMP

Notes Respecting Halnaker, Boxgrove etc P225  Boxgrove Manor - The Rev William Turner, vicar of Boxgrove, informs me that 'the family of Stempe (or Stampe) as the name is now splet) are mentioned in the earliest documents relating to the parish, and have left it only about 12 months ago. They retain a house and some little land'.  This name was formerly widely spread in both divisons of the county, which indicated an early settlement of the family in Sussex, and renders it probable that they sprang from the ancient Norman family of ESTAMPES.  Well that's interesting. (I don't know who the author was or when he was writing, but if one finds the Rev Turner that would give a clue).

Information from David STEMP

In 1562 Thomas STEMPE was mentioned as living on land belonging to Thomas HALL in the parishes of Ffiltelworth and Eggden. 

However, Margaret JARVIS does not believe that the Thomas at Fittleworth in 1562 is the same Thomas who married Joanne PULLEN in Horsham in 1572
