Anthony PAINE [Parents] was born about 1586 in Noroton, Lincolns, England. He died before 1650 in Portsmouth, Newport, RI. Anthony married Alice POTTER OR PAINE about 1610 in Portsmouth, Newport, RI.

Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island by John Osborne Austin. (Evelyn Dexter letters p. 284.)

ANTHONY PAINE b ?    d 1650

1638 He was admitted as an inhabitant (of Rhode Island? Portsmouth?)

1639 Apr 30: He and 28 others signed the following compact. "We whose names are underwritten, do acknowledge ourselves the legal subjects of His MAJESTY KING CHARLES, and in his name do hereby bind ourselves into a civil body politic, unto his laws according to matters of justice."

(Abt 1612 Alice Paine, d/o Anthony Paine was born.)

(Abt 1616, Mary Paine, d/o Anthony Paine was born.)

(Abt 1620, another child of Anthony Paine was born and died young.) 

1643: Anthony Paine md #2 Rose Grinnell.

"Anthony Paine md #2 in 1643 Rose Grinnell, widow of Matthew Grinnell. She md #3 1650 JAMES WEEDEN. She died 1673+."

1643 Nov 10: (Might be 1648) Anthony Paine entered into an agreement with Rose Grinnell previous to their marriage. She deeded to her three sons Matthew, Thomas and Daniel Grinnell, 'two Sheeder goats apiece, and to her son Matthew, a cow also.' The goats were to abide in the hands of Anthony Paine for three years, and the milk was to be his, but the increase was to belong to her three sons. It was also agreed between Anthony and Rose before their marriage, that upon the death of either, after marriage, the property of the one deceased should go to the children of that person; Rose having four children and Anthony Paine three children.

1649 May 6: Will - proved 1650. Exx. wife Rose. Overseers, Mr. Porter, William Baulstone. "I, Anthony Paine, in my perfect memory, do manifest my mind and last will is to give and bequeath unto my daughter Alice, one cow, she or husband paying unto my daughter Mary Tripp, so much as the cow is judged to be more worth than the heifer; further my mind and will is to give unto my daughter Mary Tripp one young heifer, and to be made equal out of the dow, and further my mind and will is to make my wife, Rose Paine, my whole and sole executrix, to see my former covenant, and my last will performed and my debts paid, and Mr. Porter and William Baulstone to see my estate equally divided."

1649-50: Anthony Paine died.

1650 Mar 18; She was called Rose Weeden in a receipt of this date.

1673+ Rose Grinell - Paine -Weeden died.

1678 Dec:  His widow, Rose Weeden, of Portsmouth, for 30 Lbs, and maintenance for life, sold Matthew Grinnel 53 acres. (doesn't sound like she is dead. cminson.)

(Carol's comments:  Alice Potter or Paine's info is rather sketchy.
"pb" is given as Portsmouth, Newport RI.  The World Book Encyclopedia
states that  Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636 and Newport was
founded in 1639. So it seems  unlikely that Alice was born in Portsmouth
in 1587.)

Teasdale WHITFIELD [Parents] was born 17 Sep 1730 in Hopehead, Allendale and was christened 17 Sep 1730 in St. Cuthberts, Allendale, Nbl, Eng.. He died 1 Jun 1821 in Swinhopehead, Allendale, Nbl, Eng. and was buried 1 Jun 1821 in St. Peters, Allenheads, Nbl, Eng.. Teasdale married Mary DAWSON on 28 Nov 1761 in St. Cuthbert's, Allendale, Nbl, Eng..

QUESTION - How do we know that Teasdale#821-Whitfield b 1730,
HOPEHEAD, is the son of Thomas#831 Whitfield,  b 1691,  HEXHAM?

ANSWER- We know this from the burial record of Teasdale #821.
His burial record states: "Teasdale, SON OF THOMAS WHITFIELD, buried
June 1st, 1821, aged 90."  The burial records were "from transcripts
taken from original Allendale records which are in the Newcastle
Library." WHI0154A, D. Smart's letter.
Teasdale#821- died at SWINHOPEHEAD, at age 90  in June of 1821.  (See
"BURIAL" section.) Since he died before his Oct birthday in 1821, it
figures that he was born in 1730.  That fits!

QUESTION - But how do we know Teasdale #821 was son of the Thomas
Whitfield who was born 1691, Hexham?

QUESTION - Were there any other THOMAS WHITFIELDS living in Allendale
or surrounding areas who might have been the father of Teasdale #821?

ANSWER - I checked the computer for "THOMAS WHITFIELD'S born
1682-1700 ALLENDALE, ALSTON,  HALWHISTLE, LAMBLEY, KNARSDALE,
HAYDON B. CORBRIDGE, HALTWHISTLE, WHITFIELD & HEXHAM.
There were three:
l.  Thomas Whitfield s of Robert & Harriett, abt 1688, Whitfield parish.
2. Thomas Whitfield b 26 Apr 1696, s of John Whitfield  of Horseclose,
Haltwhistle.  Father, John was  b 1671 Allendale. This is the one that
Dick Heilbut feels married Margaret Teasdale.
and
3.  Thomas Whitfield b 19 Mar 1691, Hexham, s of John Whitfield, the
Stonemason.  This is the one Carol Minson feels married Margaret
Teasdale.

still more on this................ See notes for Thomas #831.
________________________________________________________
Other supporting data for Teasdale Whitfield b 1730 Hopehead, being son
of Thomas Whitfield b 1691, Hexham:

BAPTISM:  "Teasdale, son of Thomas Whitfield,  baptised 17th SEPT
1730, Allendale." Source:  IGI.  WHI0154A   Ltr. from Dorothy A. Smart, 5,
Park View, Wideopen, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE 13 6LH, England, dated
24 May 1990.

BAPTISM: "17 OCT 1730 Teasdale  s  of Thos Whitefield of HOWPHEAD
(Hopehead.) Bp."   WHI0159G, pg 26 of Lila Ponder's notes from film
#252518: Allendale Parish NBL,  Baptisms, Burials & Marr 1690-1731,
St. Peters and Allenheads Chapelries.

CONFLICT:  In above 2 sources, there is a discrepancy as to the month.
I chose the IGI, since it is supposedly checked by three different people.
However, I am glad for Lila's research into the actual parish register
films,  because from them, Lila copied  the specific PLACE name of
"HOPEHEAD."

BAPTISM: "Whitfield entries-- Allendale Register starts 1662.  Some
sections in bad condition.  Baptisms & burials mixed in early part; also
some marriages,"  Dr. J. Young- Letter 3,  pg 2, dated 6/4/1977 to Miriam
Dexter.  WHI0199.
Dr. Young lists three of the five children of Thomas and Margaret
(Teasdale) Whitfield:
            1716 John s of Thomas Whitfield of SIBTON Shield.
            1720  Ann d of Thos Whitfield of SIBTON.  (Map spells it Sipton)

1724  Jane d of Thomas Whitfield of SWINHOPE bapt.
Wit: Thos Sneath(?), Jane Teasdale, Elizabeth Whitfield.
(Dr. Young missed Thomas b 1718 at SIPTON HEAD and Teasdale b 1730 at
Hopehead.)

The map shows that the area around Hopehead is called "Swinhope".
I assume that a Whitfield could have lived at Hopehead and have written
their birthplace as Swinhope or Hopehead and been correct in either case.

SWINHOPE MILL, HOPEHEAD AND SIPTON ARE  CLOSE TOGETHER, within a
mile or so.  SIPTON Shield is north of Sparty Lea about a mile.   St.
Peters is located at Sparty Lea.

Teasdale#821, was  a miner and undoubtedly moved from one place to
another because of his work in the mines.
_________________________________________________________
QUESTION - How do we know that the  TEASDALE#821-WHITFIELD
b 1730 at HOPEHEAD, is the husband of MARY DAWSON?

ANSWER - A "Teasdale Whitfield" is listed in the Allendale parish
registers as married to Mary DAWSON in 1761 at St. Cuthberts.
Teasdale#821 would have been 31 years old, at that time.

For best proof, see  "Mary Dawson-#822 notes."

Also,  see "BURIAL" of MARY WHITFIELD, which names her husband as
TEASDALE.
_______________________________________________________
Other supporting data for Teasdale Whitfield b 1730 Hopehead, being md
to Mary Dawson:

MARRIAGE:   "Entries from St. Cuthberts, Allendale, as far as I could
decipher them.  Commence 1662.  Bad condition.  Dates often approx.". . .
"1761 Teasdale Whitfield X Mary Dawson, both of this parish,
Witnesses, John Dawson and John Whitfield." (Is John Dawson a brother
or  father of Mary?  Her father and also her brother are named John.
Teasdale's father died in 1754.  Teasdale's eldest brother was named
John.)  WHI0199  Ltr. from Dr. J. Young to Miriam Dexter, 6/4/1977.

MARRIAGE:  "Teasdale Whitfield of Allendale married Mary Dawson of
Allendale,  at St. Cuthbert's Church  Nov 28, 1761."    WHI0154  Ltr. from
Dorothy A. Smart,  "This was the only marriage which tied in with
Thomas's Birth (in 1762) in over 100 years."

MARRIAGE:  Xeroxed record of Teasdale and Mary Dawson, researched by
Lila.  It reads:  "TEASDALE WHITFIELD and MARY DAWSON both of this
parish of ALLENDALE were married in this church by Banns this 28th day
of November 1761 (last two numbers difficult to read) by Thos Coulthard
Minister  This marriage was solemnized between us    TEASDALE
WHITFIELD (he has signed his name) & MARY DAWSON now WHITFIELD,her
mark X,  in the presence of us JOHN DAWSON,  JOHN WHITFIELD."
(It appears that the last two signed their names also.)
(Filed in my WHIO159.   No source listed. Possibly film #1564755.)

MARRIAGE:  There are no Teasdale Whitfield marriages in  Cumberland or
Durham 1988 IGI for ANY dates.
_______________________________________________________
QUESTION - How do we know that Teasdale#821-Whitfield b 1730 at
HOPEHEAD, is the father of Thomas#909-Whitfield b 1762, SWINHOPE?

ANSWER - A  parish register baptism (Lila's),shows that  "TEASDALE, a
miner, who lived at SWINHOPE." had a son, "THOMAS, baptized 9 Sept
1762 at St. Cuthberts in Allendale."

As a son of Teasdale#821-, THOMAS WHITFIELD#909, born 1762, fits
nicely as the first of ten children.  He is born 10 months after the 1761
marriage of Teasdale#821 Whitfield and Mary (DAWSON.)  He was also
born in SWINHOPE which is somewhat indicative of his being the son of
Teasdale who was born 1730 at HOPEHEAD. (Hopehead is located in
Swinhope area.)(page 4)

It also appears that Teasdale, born in 1730 at Hopehead, is the husband
of Mary Dawson  because four of their 10 children were born at Hopehead.
Others were listed at Swinhope.
________________________________________________________
Other supporting data for Teasdale#821-Whitfield b 1730 Hopehead,
being the father of Thomas#909-Whitfield b 1762:

One problem---perhaps.   Of the ten children mentioned in the parish
registers, THOMAS WHITFIELD born 1762, and one other, are listed as
sons of just "TEASDALE."  The other eight are listed as children of
"THOMAS and MARY WHITFIELD."
As an interesting note: Teasdale had three sons and seven daughters.
When a son was born, as the father his name is spelled "TEASDALE" in the
parish register.  But when a daughter was born Teasdale is spelled
"TEDSL" for all but the last daughter.

QUESTION - Were there any other TEASDALE WHITFIELDS living in
Allendale or surrounding areas who might have been the father of
THOMAS #909, born 1762?

ANSWER - I checked the computer for "Teasdales born 1712-1744 in
Allendale-- found only this Teasdale b 1730.
_______________________________________________________
You might question the tenth child in this family of Teasdale#821 and
Mary (Dawson) Whitfield.  Parish register shows "Sarah Whitfield, dau. of
Teasdale Whitfield/Mary, of HOPEHEAD,  baptized 15 Apr 1787, at
Allendale, St. Peter and Allenheads Chapelries."  If  this Sarah is indeed
the dau of  Teasdale/Mary who were married 1761,  Mary would be age
47 and the Teasdale would have been 56.  That is possible.  Their ninth
child was b in 1783, when the mother (Mary Dawson) was 43.
               (I had my seventh child when I was 43. c.m.)

There are at least eight children of this family in the IGI whose parent's
names are listed as "Teasdale and Mary Whitfield."  Those eight children
were born in approximately two year intervals, consistent with  usual
birth patterns.

Teasdale#821-Whitfield, himself, was b at HOPEHEAD, and six or seven
of his children were also born at, or within 1/2  mile of, Hopehead . (The
area in and around Hopehead is called  Swinhope.) The other four children
have no birthplace other than Allendale listed.)

_________________________________________________________
SUMMARY:
1. Thomas  Whitfield b 1691 Hexham, md 1715-Margaret Teasdale. They
had children born at Sipton and Swinhope and Hopehead.   Husband died at
Swinhope, 1754.  Wife died 16 years later,1770, at Black Cleugh.
Apparently, both husband and wife are buried at St. Peters.  Lila's pg 68
says for Thomas:  "Burials:  Low Church Yard, Allendale Parish."  film
#1564755.
"Up to the year 1765,  St. Peters was known as the Low Chapel, to
distinguish it from the chapel of Allenheads, at the head of the dale."
(Hodgson, v 4 p 99)
A duplicate record of Thomas's burial on Lila's pg 30 says that
film#252518 is  St. Peters & Allenheads.   (I finally got this
straightened out in my head.  Did I make it clear to you, the reader? C.M.)

|
2. Teasdale Whitfield b 1730 Hopehead, (son of Thos/Margt),
md1761-Mary Dawson. She died at Swinhope, 1810, and he died at
Swinhopehead, 1821.   Both are buried at St. Peters.
(Lila's pg 50 says for Teasdale:  "Burials:  High Side, Allendale Parish."
film #252527.) (Apparently St. Peters called "High Side" in 1821. See
above Hodgson quote/explanation.)
|
3.  Thomas Whitfield b 1762 Swinhope, (son of Teasdale/Mary).
He md 1782-Elizabeth Walton.  From burial records it appears that
Thomas was buried at Swinhope, 1827 "age 65."  His nine children were
al born Alston and West Allendale.  He probably was buried at St. Peters
where his parents and grandparents were buried.
Lila's pg 51 says for Thomas:  "Burials, High Side Allendale Parish." film
#252527.
Carol's burial record, film #990,933 says: "Thomas Whitfield of
SWINHOPE buried 16 Oct 1827, 65 years. Allenheads, St. Peters."
_________________________________________________________
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA:

St. Peters registers did not begin until 1807, but a church existed as
early as middle of the 1600's. See below.

"SPARTY LEA, AN UPLAND LEADMINING COMMUNITY"  by Jennifer
Norderhaug written in 1988 states:
"Following. . .written by. . .Reverend B. M. Goodwins, Vicar of St Peter's,
1930-38. . .
Old plaque used to hang on the west wall and read: St. Peters was rebuilt
and enlarged in 1825. . ."

"Not known what the former church building looked like, but there is a
record of repairs totalling 6 - 11 - 6d being made to St. Peters in 1670,
indicating that the original building was of a much earlier date.  Little
of it remains except for the bell dated 1753. . ."
"Probably an iron box in the Vestry also dated from the early Church.
The Registers begin in 1807 but funerals took place from 1723 although
those records were kept by the Parish Church of St. Cuthbert in
Allendale."

". ..From 1807 -62 there were 2, 593 baptisms in St. Peter's Church.
. . .From 1837-1937 there were 507 weddings.
. . .From 1813 -1937 there were 2,828 burials."

_________________________________________________________

(The area in and around Hopehead is called  Swinhope.)
Mary (Dawson) Whitfield also died at SWINHOPE in 1810.

Teasdale#821 and Mary Whitfield were both buried at St. Peters,
Allenheads according to Marina's records.
(Were Teasdale's parents buried there also?  I would assume so.)
___________

Teasdale was a miner.  Allenheads Mine Records of 29 April 1788:
"Ellis & lad--Thos Curry & son--TEASDALE WHITFIELD & SON-- agree to
raise lead in their do ground at 200/pr ton 22 foot to the ton and to
carriage smelting etc and work her till the 29th of Sept 1788."
(Teasdale#821 was 58 at this time and his son Teasdale#827 was 13.)
WHI0154B ______________

Perhaps some of the following applied to Teasdale Whitfield.  (Speaking
of an artist, Joseph Wright,) "He was born in 1734, in an age of unusual
vitality, invention and scholarship.  It was the age of the Enlightenment
and the Industrial Revolution was by then a mounting rumble in the land.
Wright had the lucidity of mind, the sense of intense involvement and the
stubbornness that characterized the time."

________________So I don't forget: ______________________
The following five children were taken from the NBL IGI.  They are all
listed as being children of a Teasdale and Mary Whitfield.  These children
DO NOT BELONG to Teasdale#821 and Mary (Dawson) Whitfield who were
married in 1761.  The following four children's birthdates are too late to
fit into their family.

"William and Sarah and are baptized in 1820 at Allendale, St. Peter and
Allenheads Chapelries  as children  of a "Teasdale/Mary Whitfield. ".
(Also listed in film # 990-933.)

Another baptism taken from parish records, film
# 990,933, of a Thomas Whitfield "first son of Teasdale Whitfield/ Mary
Vickers" baptized 20 April 1807 at St Peters Chapel.   Parents were both
natives of Allenheads."                    and
"JOHN   b 17 Jul 1814, parents Teasdale Whitfield and Mary Vickers of
Swinhope."   baptism at St Peter & Allenheads Chap.

Still another child of Teasdale and Mary (Stokoe) Whitfield listed on the
IGI, is  "Teasdale, third son,"  baptized 6 May 1809.  Baptized at
"Allendale, St. Peter and Allenheads Chapelries."
_________________________________________________________

Mary DAWSON was born 3 Jul 1740 in Whiteley Shield, Allendale, Nbl. She died 7 Mar 1810 in Swinhope, Allendale, Nbl, Eng. and was buried in St. Peters, Allendale, Nbl, Eng.. Mary married Teasdale WHITFIELD on 28 Nov 1761 in St. Cuthbert's, Allendale, Nbl, Eng..

BAPTISM: There are four baptismal dates for four different Mary
Dawson's,  all of Allendale
#1-)  3 Jun 1731, Mary d of Tho. Dawson    STOBB
#2-) 20 Oct 1737, Mary d of Tho. Dawson    HOPE
#3-) 3 Jul 1740, Mary d of John Dawson   WHITLEY SHIELD
#4-) 10 Jul 1740, Mary d of MR. Wm. Dawson    TOWN

Mary Dawson and Teasdale Whitfield, both of the parish of Allendale
were married in 1761.

Which of the four Mary Dawson's md  Teasdale Whitfield?  How can we
tell?
NAMING PATTERNS?   Possibly.  And it may be of importance to know that
a "JOHN DAWSON and "JOHN WHITFIELD"  witnessed the marriage of
Teasdale Whitfield and Mary Dawson.

AGE AT MARRIAGE?  Teasdale & Mary's children's births, range in dates
from 1762 until 1787. That is a 25 year span.  Unusually long time for a
mother to bear children.  But it is  possible.  If Mary birthed all 10
children, she was probably 18 to 20 years old at marriage and thus 45 to
47 when last child was born.
    (But Teasdale might have had a 2nd marriage.)

#1-):  IF Mary had been born in 1731, she'd be 30 in 1761 and not likely
to have had children for 25 years-- into her 50's.  So, I am eliminating
#1 Mary as "too old at mg to have had 8-10 children, spaced mostly at 2
year intervals. (Of course there could have been a 2nd wife, whose
records we don't have.)
       Here are the  probable SIBLINGS  of
#1 Mary Dawson b 3 Jun 1731, d of Tho. Dawson  of  STOBB:
Thomas -b 14 July 1727, s of Thos  of Roun Tree STOBB
Hannah - b 26 Apr 1733, d of Tho of Roun Tree STOBB
Nicholas-b 12 Jun 1735, s of Thomas of Round Tree STOB
? William -b 22 apr 1737, s of Thomas  (no placename. see WHI0273).
(Those last 2 given names DO NOT appear in Mary & Teasdale's children.)

#2-):  Mary, b 20 Oct 1737, d of Tho. Dawson  of HOPE seems a very good
possibility.  She and 2 of her supposed siblings were all born at "HOPE"
which I assume is part of HOPEHEAD.
Here are the  probable SIBLINGS  of
#2 Mary Dawson b 20 Oct 1737, d of Tho. Dawson  of HOPE:
William b 21 Mar1742, s of Thomas Dawson of HOPE
Matthew b 27 Dec 1744 s of Thomas Dawson, yeoman of HOPE and
possibly "John b 19 Nov1747 s of Thomas Dawson, yeoman of STUDHOLM?
(I think I've made a mistake on this.  RECHECK.)
It appears that John died young.  (The John of "Hope" died young.)
(Matthew and William are family names, but Mary did not name any of
her children such.)-----The following is a sideline to the above problem
I am addressing: I have a  1685 will for George Dawson, Yeoman, the
Hope. (possibly a grandfataher of this Mary Dawson.)  He names dau
Margaret, dau Elizabeth, son John, son George, and grandchild Ann, and a
"loving wife" and as an after-memorandum: dau Ann.

Question:  Is a yeoman addressed as "Mr"?

#3-): "Mary b 3 Jul 1740 F-John of WHITELY SHIELD  is probably the one
I'll use because her age is most likely.  "Mary Dawson md Teasdale W in
1761. She would have been 21 at time of marriage and if all 10 children
were hers, she would have been  47 at birth of last child.  Possible.
"JOHN DAWSON and "JOHN WHITFIELD"  witnessed the marriage of
Teasdale W and Mary Dawson.
But that Mary did not name any of her 10 children "John".   She named her
first child, Thomas, which was the name of Teasdale's father.
Here are the  probable SIBLINGS  of #3 Mary Dawson b 3 Jul 1740, d of
Jno Dawson  of WHITELY SHIELD:
John Dawson b 23 Sep 1736, s of Jno Dawson of WHITELY SHIELD
Jane Dawson b 5 apr 1739, d of John Dawson of WHITELY SHIELD
Sarah Dawson b 27 dec 1743,d of John Dawson of WHITELY SHIELD GREEN
and Tho Dawson b 6 Jul 1746, s of John Dawson of WHITELY SHIELD Green.
No help with naming pattern there, that I can see.
  Whitely Shield is in West Allendale.

#4-):  Mary b 10 Jul 1740, I've discounted because her father is a "MR.
Wm Dawson- res Town."  It doesn't feel right.  Not sure that's a valid
reason. No siblings for this Mary in Allendale Town. Only 2 fam of Wm
Dawson in Allendale Parish & they from Elf Green with ch
born1697-1703  & again 1727-Anne, 1728-Wm, 1733-Anne, 1736 John.
The latter could be her siblings.  Note the  John b 1736!
If this had been the Mary who md. Teasdale in 1761, it might have been
profitable to have named a child after the maternal grandfather, if the
grandfather were still living.  None of Mary and Teasdale's children were
named Wm.

Teasdale and Mary (Dawson) Whitfield had a dau with a most unusual
name for that time, Susana.   SUSANA was b 1773.
I thought perhaps if I found a Dawson or a Whitfield who had also named
a child Susanah... this might somehow give a needed clue.  Here's what I
found:  It looks like Mary b 1740 had a brother, John b 1736.  That John
md. a Susanah, and they had a son: "John b 1762  s of John Dawson and
SUSANNAH, Black Cleugh."
It appears that John's wife Susannah is a sis-in-law to the Mary Dawson
who md Teasdale.  And  Mary and Teasdale then named a child after
Mary's sis-in-law.  Ummmmm yes, that does tie the Mary who has a
brother named John to the mg of Teasdale Whitfield.  That brother
probably md after age 20.  So he would have bene born by 1742 in order
to have a daughter Susannah by 1762.  That eliminates Mary #2 whose
brother, John was b 1747.

Of the four Mary's the evidence is heaviest for Mary  b 1740.

MARRIAGE:  WHI0154 Ltr. from Dorothy A. Smart, 5, Park View,
Wideopen, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE 13 6LH, Eng:
"Teasdale Whitfield of Allendale married Mary Dawson OF ALLENDALE at
St. Cuthbert's Church Nov 28, 1761"

MARRIAGE:  Xeroxed record of Teasdale and Mary Dawson, researched by
Lila.  She did not write her source.  Possibly film #1564755, at S.L.
It reads:  "TEASDALE WHITFIELD and MARY DAWSON both of this parish of
ALLENDALE were married in this church by Banns this 28th day of
November 1761(last two numbers difficult to read) by Thos Coulthard
Minister.  This marriage was solemnized between us    TEASDALE
WHITFIELD (he has written his name) & MARY DAWSON now

BURIAL:  WHI0154D  "1810, March 7, Mary, wife of Teasdale, Swinhope."
From Dorothy Smart, Letter dated 22 Oct 1990, Burials from St. Peter's
Church, Allenheads.

BURIAL:  WHI0159B1, page 50 of Lila from Film # 252527 SLC:
"High Side Allendale Parish, Burials:  l June 1821, Teasdale Whitfield,
age 90,  SWINHOPEHEAD."

BURIAL: WHI0200B  From Marina:
"Burial at St. Peters and Allendale, 1821, Teasdale Whitfield, age 90,
SWINHOPEHEAD, E. Allendale."

*As seen above under "!BURIAL:" section of Mary (Dawson) Whitfield, she
died at Swinhope in 1810.
"Teasdale Whitfield," h died at SWINHOPEHEAD, at age 90  in June of
1821.  Assuming he died before his birthday in 1821, means he was born
in 1730.

1988 IGI shows "Sarah Whitfield, dau. of Teasdale Whitfield/Mary,
baptized 15 Apr 1787, at Allendale, St. Peter and Allenheads Chapelries."
If  this Sarah is indeed the dau of  my Teasdale/Mary who were married
1761, the mother would be age 47 and the father would have been 56.
That is possible, NOT REAL LIKELY, BUT ...POSSIBLE.

Summary: (a.) How do we know that Teasdale Whitfield b 1730 at
HOPEHEAD, is the father of Thomas b 1762, Swinhope?
A "Teasdale Whitfield"  married Mary DAWSON in 1761, when Teasdale
would have been 31 years old, at St. Cuthberts, Allendale. There are at
least eight children in the IGI whose parent's names are listed as
"Teasdale and Mary Whitfield."  Those eight children fall mostly in two
year intervals, consistent with the usual birth patterns.  Of those eight
children, four have a birthplace listed as HOPEHEAD, or nearby
SWINHOPEHEAD.  Teasdale was also born at HOPEHEAD and died at
SWINHOPEHEAD.*  The other four children have no birthplace listed.  All
the children were christened in Allendale.

THOMAS WHITFIELD born 1762, fits nicely at the top of those eight
children with his birth 9 1/2 months following the 1761 marriage of
Teasdale Whitfield and Mary DAWSON.  Thomas was also born in
Swinhope and christened at Allendale, which is fairly indicative of his
being the son of Teasdale who was born 1730 at Hopehead.
     The one problem that occurs is that of the nine children mentioned in
the parish registers, THOMAS WHITFIELD born 1762, is the only child
listed as son of just "TEASDALE."  The other eight are listed as children
of "THOMAS/MARY WHITFIELD."  It appears he was the first child. He was
born at SWINHOPE.
_________________________________
Aug 1, 1996.  Just discovered a Dawson Family MI with a Susannah.
Haven't yet figured how this family fits with Mary#822, if at all.
Here it is:
"JOHN DAWSON OF FAR PASTURE 29.1.1797 AGE 60. (=b 1737)
ELIZABETH HIS DAU. 16.7.1767 age 9 weeks.

Reverse:  John Swindle of  Black....

Thomas WHITFIELD [Parents] was christened 19 Mar 1691 in Hexham, Nbl. He died 2 Dec 1754 in Swinehope, Allendale, Nbl, Eng. and was buried 2 Dec 1754 in St. Peters, Allendale, Nbl, Eng.. Thomas married Margaret TEASDALE on 6 Jun 1715 in Allendale, Nbl, Eng.

May 1996.  I have gone through all the parish printouts looking for
THOMAS WHITFIELDS b in NBL, who could have married  Margaret
Teasdale in 1715.  I used 1683-1696 as the perimeters because he would
probably not have been younger than 19 years old when he married and he
probably would not have been older than 32 when he married.
If Thomas were 19 at mg, he was born 1696, (& his youngest child,
Teasdale- born when he was 34.)
If Thomas was 32 at mg, he was born 1686 (& his youngest child,
Teasdale, born when he was 47.)

There were 3 entries which fit in that time frame:
1.  Thomas Whitfield,  born 1691, the twin son of John, the Hexham
stonemason.  (I think this is my line.)
2.  Thomas Whitfield born 1696, son of John of Haltwhistle.  (Dick
Heilbut's line.)
3.  Thomas Whitfield  b abt 1688, son of Robert and Harriet, of Whitfield.
(this entry was sent into IGI by Dick Heilbut.    I find no record of any
such entry in Whitfield  parish printout.)

There are duplicate parish records for Thomas Whitfield#831, the father
of this Teasdale.  One record indicates Thomas#831,  was buried at St.
Cuthberts, and another record says he was buried at St. Peters and
Allenheads.  The records of both places were combined.  St. Cuthberts
was the parish church and held the records for St Peters which was a
"chapel-of-ease."  Until 1807, St. Peters records were kept at St.
Cuthbert's, the Allendale parish church.

and Burials & Mg 1690-1731."
Most of the Whitfields on this particular list of Lilas, are of
place-names to the south of Allendale Town, including Allenheads.
It seems very possible that St. Cuthberts,  St.Peters, and perhaps
Allenheads, records are all mixed in together, at least in the two films
mentioned above.

BURIAL:  St. Peters was close by Swinhope.  It was a Chapel-of-Ease*
and I am assuming it's records ended up at the parish church, St.
Cuthberts, Allendale, which would account for  "St.Cuthbert"=source.
This hyposthesis if verified by the duplicate burial entries for THOMAS
WHITFIELD listed above,source of one listed as St. Cuthberts, and the
other source listed as St. Peters & Allenheads.
I believe that Thomas Whitfield b 1691 was buried at St. Peters, as was
his wife, Margaret. (Her burial SL film #1564753: Gravestones in St
Peter's Old Graveyard.)

*Lewis Top dict says "Within the parish of Allandale are four chapels of
ease, viz., St. Peter's rebuilt in 1825. . .Ninebanks. . .Carr Shield. . .and

_________________
You'll note from the family group record  that Thomas and Margaret
Whitfield had their children in East Allendale. The children were born at
Sipton and Swinhope and Hopehead, but they were christened at
Allendale.  If St. Peters was built by 1723,  it would have been close by
them at Swinhope and Hopehead.  I wonder why they didn't go there
instead?

1785; for Allendale 1662 and for Ninebanks 1767.
_________________________________________________________

QUESTION - HOW do we know that Thomas Whitfield b 1691, Hexham, is
the father of Teasdale Whitfield,  b 1730 Hopehead ?

ANSWER (-1).  We  know that  TEASDALE WHITFIELD, b 1730, was the son
of a THOMAS WHITFIELD of HOWPHEAD (Hopehead), in Allendale.
(-2).We also know that "Teasdale [of Swinhopehead was a] SON OF
THOMAS WHITFIELD buried June 1st, 1821, aged 90."
This burial record helps establish the fact that Teasdale b.1730 was the
son of Thomas (b 1691?)  The burial records were "from transcripts
taken from original Allendale records which are in the Newcastle
Library."  WHI0154A, D. Smart's letter.

Now we need a THOMAS WHITFIELD born 1690-1697.  Those perimeters
set by mg to Margaret Teasdale 1715, and Teasdale's birth 1730.

Calculation of perimeters:  We know Thomas was born before his son,
Teasdale's birth in 1730-- 20 to maybe even 50, years prior. That would
be from 1680 to 1710. (Most likely 1690-1710.)  There are a dozen
"Thomas Whitfield" b in 1690-1710 on the IGI.
However, we can limit the search time further because of his mg to Mgt
Teasdale in 1715.  He'd have to be at least 18 by 1715.

Only 2  "Thomas Whitfield"s fall into the 1690-1697 range.
Both have a "JOHN" as a father.
One  THOMAS was b 1696-Haltwhistle, and the other THOMAS was
b1691-Hexham.   Hexham was my choice as that is where Margaret
Teasdale was baptized.

QUESTION _ But HOW do we know that the Thomas Whitfield, b 1691. at
Hexham, is the husband of Margaret Teasdale?

ANSWER  -We don't KNOW. It is possibly either of the two Thomas
Whitfields mentioned.  May even be a Thomas Whitfield from outside NBL.
But my best guesstimate is Thomas b 1691 is the one who md. Margaret
Teasdale.  My reasons:
(-1) Hexham was a market town.  People from Allendale more likely to
meet people at the Hexham market than Haltwhistle.
(2-)  Age 24 was the norm for men to marry.
      Thomas b 1691 would be age 24 at mg.
      Thomas b 1696 would be just barely 19.
(3-)  Thomas born 1691--his Mother died when he was 3 and his father
when he was 12.  Since Margaret and Thomas's children were born in East
Allendale, it seems likely Thomas could have gone to live with his
Whitfield rels in Allendale after his Mother died.***  Thus establishing a
place where he would live after marriage.
(4-)  It was the norm for a girl to be married in the parish from which
she came, and then to go live where her husband came from.

***Could Thomas Whitfield#831 have been raised by John Whitfield and
Jane of Midlup and Scotts Meadow?
The first child for John & Jane Whitfield-listed in the parish register
-is a son named John b 9 Oct 1690, of Midlup.  Evidently this son died
because they named a 2nd son "John" also, b 6 Apr 1693.
The father, John Whitfield, husband of Jane, died in 1709.  And he left a
will naming the first son "Thomas."  Yet there is no record of Thomas's
birth in Allendale PR.
It's possible that John and Jane Whitfield were the relatives who raised
the orphan, Thomas Whitfield #831- and treated him as if he was one of
their own.

THOMAS, son of JOHN,  baptized  1691, Hexham Parish Church,  seems
the most logical "THOMAS", because  of his age and his place of baptism.
I think he is the Thomas who married  Margaret Teasdale in 1715.

We also know that a Margaret Teasdale was baptized in Hexham Parish
Church in 1696 making their ages compatible for marriage.  Thomas b.
1691 would have been 24 and Margaret b. 1696 would have been 19 at
marriage in 1715. And according to the IGI, Thomas Whitfield had a son,
also named Teasdale, born 1730.  It appears that the given name of
"Teasdale" originated in the Whitfield family from Margaret Teasdale's
surname at this point in time.

There seems to be a TEASDALE in each descending generation since that
1715 marriage of Margaret Teasdale and Thomas Whitfield.
We feel quite confident that the bride was Margaret Teasdale.  The name
"Teasdale" comes down in each generation from this marriage.  It is an
unusual name and lends much weight to the pedigree. The given name of
"Teasdale"  has been very helpful in tracing ancestors AND descendants
on this line.

QUESTION - How do we know that the Thomas Whitfield and Margaret
(Teasdale) are the parents of the five children listed on the family group
sheet?

ANSWER -  The five children were copied from the Parish Print-out
P-242, from which IGI developed.  All are listed as "children of Thomas
Whitfield" ( no mother's name listed). and the birth dates follow a
normal two-year pattern, with the exception of the six year gap between
child number four and child number five.  (There may have been a child
who died in this period and was not listed in the records.  Need to
continue to check this out, if possible.)  Child number five is "Teasdale
b1730" whom we have established as a child of Thomas and Margaret
Whitfield.

The five children are all born within a mile of each other in East
Allendale, mostly the Swinhope area.  Thomas Whitfield and Margaret
Teasdale  were married in St. Cuthberts in Allendale.   And, although they
both were born in Hexham, they ended up at SWINHOPE, Allendale.
The father of this family was a miner.  The miners in this area typically
moved from one mine to another as the mines gave out.

One problem is the gap in ages of children from 1724 to 1730. That may
be caused from early deaths, but it would seem the births would have
been recorded on the parish register.  Need to know what taxes were in
effect that might have caused the parents not to register births during
those dates.

"Whitfield entries [from] Allendale Register [which] start 1662. Some
sections in bad condition.   Baptisms & burials mixed in early part; also
some marriages."   WHI0199  Letter 3  pg 2, fr. Dr. J. Young, dated
6/4/1977 to Miriam Dexter.   Then she lists three of the five children I
found on IGI. (She missed Thomas b 1718, and Teasdale b 1730.)
            1716 John s of Thomas Whitfield of Sibton Shield.
              1720  Ann d of Thos Whitfield of Sibton.
               1724  Jane d of Thomas Whitfield of Swinhope bapt.
               Wit: Thos   Sneath(?),Jane TEASDALE (another tie to
                 TEASDALE), and Elizabeth Whitfield.

QUESTION - How do we know that Thomas Whitfield b 1691,Hexham is
the son of JOHN WHITFIELD b ----    at----------------- ?

Because he fits so well into the following family.   Note years and
spacing of births  (film #94997 and the IGI):
BAPTISM             BURIAL
John  12 Sep 1684          (probably a year old)
Hannah17 Aug 1684 (d at 3 weeks?)
Robert  3 Sep 1685 28 Mar 1686 (d at 6 months)
William 21 Apr 1687 22 Mar 1688(d at 11 months)
Mary 13 Aug 1688 (d at 4 months?)
Utrick 26 Sep 1689 15 Oct 1690 (d at 1 yr & 3 weeks)
Mathias19 Mar 1691  12 Jun 1691 (d at 3 months)
THOMAS19 Mar 1691  (He lived!)
Matthew  22 Jun 1692 2 Apr 1693 (d at 9 months)
John  9 Oct 1693

BURIAL:  "1694, 14 Oct, Infant of John Whitfield, freestone mason." (This
burial is not conclusively the above "JOHN.")

Thomas Whitfield-born 1691, Hexham, was #8 out of ten children.   He
lived.  But,  ALL of his siblings died young, ----  NINE OF THE TEN
CHILDREN DIED---YOUNG!  And then their mother died,  with the birth of
her #10 infant in 1693.

Thomas, born 1691, had a twin, Mathias, who died at three months.
Almost every baby of that family of Whitfield  died in the year they were
born.   Apparently it was not the plague, or at least some of them would
have died closer to the same time period.  But they didn't.  They died a
year or so apart.

(I'm wondering if typhoid fever was rampant during the decade in which
Thomas Whitfield's siblings were born.  Thomas was the eighth of ten
children.  All ten were born within ten years, between 1683 and 1693,
and nine of those ten babies died soon after they were born, along with
Emma, the mother, who also died after the birth of her tenth child.
See "notes for John Whitfield, mason" father of Thomas, for further
details.

Later comment:  The 8 babies all died in different years.  Perhaps their
deaths were caused from infant diarrhea--so prevalent in this time
period.)

"The Smithsonian" magazine had a "CLEANLINESS IS A RECENT VIRTUE"
article, which may shed light on the reason for so many deaths in this
family.   To quote:  "Europe during the Middle Ages, it's often been said,
went a thousand years without a bath. . .
"There was no running water, streams were cold and polluted, heating
fuel was expensive, and soap was hard to get.  There just weren't
facilities for personal hygiene.  Cleanliness wasn't a part of the folk
culture.  Through much of the 19th century, Europeans and Americans
lived in wretched filth, and many died of associated diseases.  The
mortality rates from the 1800s show an incredible number of deaths
from infant diarrhea."

The Whitfield Family mentioned above lost 9 of their 10 children, in the
late 1600s.  Hygenic conditions were probably even worse then.  It seems
very probable that those EIGHT Whitfield babies died from infant
diarrhea.
_________________________________________________________
You will note from the family group record that Thomas and Margaret
Whitfield had their children in East Allendale.  They were born at Sipton
Shield and Swinhope and Hopehead, but they were christened at
Allendale.  (Or were they?  I think they were probably christened at St.
Peters.   If St. Peters was built by 1723,  it would have been close by
them at Swinhope and Hopehead.  I wonder why they didn't go there?
Maybe they did.  This is part of the problem puzzling me.  I may study
those confusing parish registers more closely to see if I can work out
this problem.  That's why I've been studying that film #1564755 so
closely.)

QUESTION- (April 1, 1991:)  I still don't know which John Whitfield is
the father of Thomas b 1691 at Hexham.  The John Whitfield, born 1655,
son of John, at Haydon Bridge would fit;  also the John Whitfield, born
1658, son of John, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, would also fit.  Since
Haydon Bridge is closer to Hexham and Allendale, the John born at Haydon
Bridge seems most likely.
------------------------------------------
It appears that THOMAS WHITFIELD, B 1691, HEXHAM, was the only one of
ten children to survive infancy.  It also looks as if his Mother, Emma,
died when he was 2 1/2 years old.  His father, John THE STONEMASON,
remarried to Mary Carrick  Feb 1700, just before son, THOMAS had his
9th birthday. (Who took care of Thomas for those  6 1/2 years?)

John and Mary (Carrick) Whitfield had a son William b 20 Mar 1701.  Then
John Whitfield, the freestone mason,  died and was buried 27 Feb l703.
So, Thomas's mother died when he was 2 l/2, and his father died when he
was 12 years old.  Wow!
______________

DON'T FORGET:
Thomas was born 1691 at Hexham to John Whitfield.  All John's children
were born in Hexham.
Thomas's wife, Margaret Teasdale, was also born in Hexham in 1696, and
married to Thomas Whitfield in 1715.   Thomas and Margaret were both
born in same place, about the same time, and then were married in St.
Cuthberts, Allendale, in 1715.  THOMAS & MARGARET (TEASDALE)
WHITFIELD had a son, John, in 1716,  Thomas in 1718, Ann in 1720, Jane
in 1724 and Teasdale in 1730, all born in East Allendale, (Sipton and
Swinhope and Hopehead.)

_________________________________________________________
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Thomas  Whitfield died at Swinhope, 1754.  Wife died 16 years
later,1770, at Black Cleugh.  I believe both husband and wife are buried
at St. Peters.

1688 1692  1694     1696    1698    1698   1700? The
Hexham baptismal dates of first 6 children shows they are clearly
Samuel's children.  The two Eleanor's probably died young as they are not
mentioned in the will.  NOR IS MARGARET MENTIONED IN THE WILL.  I have
thought this was my Margaret Teasdale who md Thomas Whitfield,
June1715 at St. Cuthberts Parish Church in Allendale. But she is not
mentioned in Samuel's will.  She could have been disowned.  But was it
likely for her to marry in a parish church other than where she had been
raised?  Perhaps......if she had been disowned.

But the names of 2 of  Samuel's children- Elizabeth & Mary-as listed in
his will- are confusing.  I think they were  born in Slaley parish and not
yet noted?    (Will of#537- Thomas Teasdale, grandfather of Margaret is
found in Samuel Teasdales notes as well as Thomas's.)
_________________
Interesting note:  baptism record of Eleanor Teasdale d of Samuel
Teasdale (#126) baptized 28 Sep 1698 found on Parish Printout of
Hexham Parish, NBL.  The record included witnesses for Eleanor's
baptism: (BRO.) THOMAS; MR. JOHN AIMESLEY; Mary Teasdale; & Eleanor
Rowland.
MR. JOHN AIMESLEY is the man (lawyer?) who was to ad John Whitfield's
Hexham will in 1704.  John Whitfield was the stonemason and father of
Thomas Whitfield who md Margaret Teasdale.--The Margaret Teasdale
who I think is 2 years older and a sister to Eleanor being baptized above.

BURIAL:  "2 Dec 1754, THO WHITFIELD, MINER, SWINHOPE, Lower Church
Yard."  Source:  Burials in Allendale St. Cuthberts 1731-1761, film
#1564755, sent by Lila.  (Her page 68) WHIO159Q1.
This burial is ALSO DUPLICATED on page 30 of Lila's, film #252518:  "2
Nov 1754, THOS WHITFIELD OF SWINHOPE, MINER." She has titled this Bp
and Burials & Mg 1690-1731.  However, SL fische indicates
film #252518 = St Peters and Allenheads.
Most of the Whitfields on this particular list of Lilas, are of
place-names to the south of Allendaletown, including Allenheads.
It's likely that St. Cuthberts,  St.Peters, and perhaps Allenheads, records
are all mixed in together, at least in the two films mentioned above.

BURIAL:  The duplicate burial entries listed above for THOMAS
WHITFIELD are listed as both St. Cuthberts, and also listed as St. Peters
& Allenheads.  I believe that Thomas Whitfield b 1691 was buried at St.
Peters, as was his wife, Margaret, because St. Peters was close by
Swinhope.  It was a Chapel-of-Ease and I am assuming it's records ended
up at the parish church, St. Cuthberts, Allendale, which would account
for  "St.Cuthbert"=source.

I thought perhaps if I found a Dawson or a Whitfield who had also named
a child Susanah... this might somehow give me a needed clue.  Here's what
I found:
John b 1762  s John Dawson and SUSANNAH, Black Cleugh.
SUSANA b 1773 dau of Tesdel Whitfield and Mary.(OURS!) no place listed.
It appears that John's wife Susannah is a sis-in-law to the Mary Dawson
b 1740.  And that Mary (Dawson) Whitfield then named a child after her
sis-in-law.  Ummmmm yes, that does tie the Mary who has a brother
named John to the mg of Teasdale Whitfield.
