The history of Carlton-Curlieu,
Leicestershire also includes a Theobald WARD (?-1392; probably
the uncle of
Thomas1 above) who married Anne/Amy de Burgh, daughter of William and Margaret de
Burgh
and who once owned the manor houses of both Carlton-Curlieu and Braunston,
Rutland. Theobald's parents (and therefore Thomas' grandparents) are said
to be Simon (?-1381) and Anne Haustede WARD. Also see The
Manors of Burton Overy (note 12, pg. 49) and A
History of the County of Rutland and land dealings in Rutland of Theobald WARD
and William and Margaret de Burgh at CP 25/1/192/7, number 3 and number
27. William1 married his first wife Elizabeth PHILLIPUS1 (1603-1632) in 1624 in Clerkenwell, London and had 3 children - John2 Turner (1626-1708), Joanna (1628-1718), Obadiah (1632-1718). He married his second wife Elizabeth STORY HALL2 (1613-1700) in 1634 and children Richard (1635-1666), Deborah (1637-1697) and HANNAH (1638-1717) were born in England.

William BARSHAM was born in Norfolk, England, came to America on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630 and settled in Watertown, MA which at that time had about 100 residents. Abigail SPRING's line can be traced all the way back to Sir Hugh Le DESPENCER who died in the Battle of Evesham in 1265 and back even further to William Talvas Montgomery DESPENSER (1100-?) who is an ancestor of both Diana SPENCER, Princess of Wales and Sir Winston CHURCHILL. It also includes such names as Agard, Appleton, Bassett, Crane, Beauchamp, Deincourt, DONNINGTON, Durward, Fray, Kitson, Lovaine, Tiptoft, Waldegrave, Wentworth, etc. Go to
