| 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. | |||||
| Proofs | Proofs | ||||
| 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. | W_1668 | ||||
