Tracing the
Burys |

Since finding in 2009 that John
Stevenson's parents were Thomas and Naomi, I have occasionally searched for
their marriage, either of their births, and Naomi's maiden name, without
success - until in 2022, searching for records on Ancestry, quite a few member
trees showed that she was Naomi Bury. Given this lead, the wills of her
father Leonard Bury and her grandfather Thomas Bury were easy to find. |

|
PP_601 |
That Naomi Bury (601) was the
mother of John Stevenson (300) |
|
|
|
|
|
Naomi the wife of Thomas
Stevenson was buried in 1734. |
|
D_1734 |
|
|
|
Ruth Stevenson, daughter of
Thomas Stevenson and Naomi was baptized in 1714 in South Witham, the youngest
child after Thomas in 1792, Leonard in 1696 and John
Stevenson in 1702. |
|
B_1714 |
|
|
|
Ruth Stevenson is named in the
will of Leonard Bury in 1720 as his granddaughter, implying that Naomi is
Leonard Bury's daughter. |
|
W_1720 |
|
|
|
This Leonard Bury married Ruth
Dixon as his second wife in 1667, and a Samuel Dixon was one of the witnesses
to Leonard's will. |
|
M_1667 |
|
|
|
This Samuel Dixon's will in 1695
names his daughter as Ruth Bury, and two of his grandchildren as Leonard Bury
and Naomi Stephenson. |
|
W_1695 |
|
|
|
This proves that Naomi Bury was Leonard Bury's daughter, and that she was the
mother of John Stevenson. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PP_1202 |
That Leonard
Bury (1202) was the father of Naomi Bury (601) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is proved above. |
|
PP_601 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PP_2404 |
That Thomas Bury
(2404) was the father of Leonard Bury (1202) |
|
|
|
|
|
In his will in 1668, Thomas Bury
mentions his elder son Leonard, and Leonard's children by his first wife
Margaret - Thomas, Ann, John and Samuel. Thomas and Ann are confirmed in the
parish register, Ann marrying in Buckminster in 1683, and Thomas in 1692. |
|
W_1668 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PP_4808 |
That George Bury
(4808) was the father of Thomas Bury (2404) |
|
|
|
|
|
In his will in 1668, Thomas Bury
mentions having bought some property from his father George. This is all we
have on George so far. |
