The Baynard family - Lackham Countryside Centre

The Baynards
Briefly, Thomas & Elizabeth Barnes’ eldest son was another Thomas,
who married Avice, or Anne, Hyde. They had yet another Thomas,
born in 1612 who married Rachel Moore and they had a number of
children of whom at least two relocated to America; another
Thomas, who died in S. Carolina in 1700 and John 196 who married
Elizabeth Blackwell. It appears that John and his wife were
Quakers and it seems very reasonable, as Mrs Weber suggested to
me, that this was one of the reasons they left England 197
It has been claimed 198 that Thomas married Anne Davis, widow of
Thomas Saintbarbe of Lacock, sometime between 1591 and his
death in 1601; if the date of birth is correct he would have been
over 80 when he married! However this appears to be totally
incorrect; in the PRO 199 there is a record of an action between
Robert Baynard[who was seised of the manor of Lackham] and
Thomas Hyett for the money Hyett had promised on Robert’s
marriage to his sister Anne ”which Anne was the relict of Thomas
St Barbe“. The dates would fit Robert Baynard IV much more
comfortably than Thomas (see below, p )
Lawrence and Richard are known by name only and there were four
other sons whose names are not known.
