URL title: Re: Col. Thomas Brereton, VA

Thomas Brereton married twice. His first wife was Jane Claiborne daughter of Col. William Cliaborne the merchant, planter, and a member of Council in various key positions. Jane's mother was from an Essex family the Boteler (Butler) family. It is believe that Thomas' first two children come from this line: Capt. Thomas Brereton and Elizabeth Brereton who married Thomas Winder. Col. Thomas Brereton married 2ndly in about 1671 to Gracianna Span, widow of Richard Spanne (who she had children by). There is only one child from this marriage that we know of, Capt. Henry Brereton who married Sarah Hull (daughter of Richard Hull).

The Jurys verdict on Mr. Budds Servant Thomas Winn.
Whereas at a court holden for this County of Northumberland the 22nd day of November 1655 The verdict of the Jury and judgement did award and decree that whereas Mrs. Eleanor Budd was accused for the death of one Thomas Winn her late Servant, that the said Winn should be taken up out of the earth and viewed by a Jury of 12 men a Coronor and one Chyourgion or more and that the said Mrs. Budd should touch and handle the said corpes and that the skull of the said Winn should be especially viewed.
These may therefore certify all those whom it may seem to concern and be relative unto that we whose names are under subscribed being for that purpose empaneled on a Jury together With Lt. Col. John Trussell Coronor and Mr. Robert Burrell Chyourgion have accordingly cleaned and viewed the said skull and see the said Mrs. Budd handle the same and did not perceive any symptoms or example by which God of his just judgement maybe evidence, her the said Mrs. Ellenor Budd any whit guilty of the said accusation the said skull being as (we suppose) the skull of any dead man is which death by no casual but a natural death dated the first day of January 1655. The body of the said Winn could not possibly be taken up being quite consumed, the bones excepted.

BRISTOL; PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY J. W, ARROWSMITH LTD., QUAY STREET.

p. 169 Henry Brereton, M.A., was instituted to the vicarage on the presentation of Ralph Sadler, the grandson of Sir Ralph.4
The vicarage at this time was valued at £30 yearly. The new vicar was also admitted on July 27th, 1633, to preach the Word of God within the deanery and city of Bristol.5
Soon after his institution, an admission occurs to the mastership of the school of Henbury, founded by Anthony Edmonds in 1623. The clergyman thus admitted " ad docendam et gubernandam scholam publicam apud Henbury " was John Till-Adam, M.A., of Balliol College, Oxford, on March 16th, 1630-1. 6
He was licensed to the Curacy of Westbury on July 29th, 1633,7
and doubtless combined his duties there with his mastership.
p. 170 Henry Brereton was compelled to retire from his benefice in consequence of the Civil War. The names of two intruders during the Commonwealth occur in the Lambeth MSS. The first of these, John Millard, exhibited his presentation to the commission for the approbation of public preachers on May 18th, 1654, an(i on July 5th was allowed on nomination to continue in the vicarage without disturbance until further provision should be made. 1 On September 17th, 1655, the Protector presented Thomas Freeman to the vicarage. The committee granted its certificate of approbation on September 21st, and the presentee was admitted on September 26th.2 The Parliamentary survey of benefices, which, if it disregarded tradition, furnished highly practical suggestions for the spiritual needs of scattered parishes, has the following returns with regard to Henbury and the neighbouring parishes and chapelries :-3

p. 171 The parish register provides the name of another Commonwealth minister, Chetwynd Lapthorne, who died in August, 1658; but of his admission or status there appears to be no official record. The name of John Harris also occurs in 1662, but here a^fain other evidence is wanting. Six days before the famous St. Bartholomew's Day on which obdurate Puritan ministers were turned out of their benefices, on August 18th, 1662, Henry Brereton subscribed to the declaration enjoined by the Act of Uniformity and was restored to his vicarage.1 On the same day Richard Hoyle, of New Inn Hall, Oxford, also subscribed as schoolmaster of Henbury.2 He had already been admitted " to teach the publique school att Henbury," on March 26th, by Dr. Gilbert Jones, Bishop Ironside's vicar-general.3 Similarly on August 22nd subscription was made by Henry Dimery, Curate of Aust, and Samuel Okes, " usher of the free schoole and hospitall of Henbury."4 Hoyle was succeeded as schoolmaster by Thomas Godwyn, deacon, who subscribed on March 28th, 1668,5 and became Rector of Filton February 1st, 1669-70. 6
Henry Brereton appears to have died early in 1668-9, forty-one years after his first institution.

' 1 Subscription Book, 1662-86, No. 102. Brereton, however, seems to have ministered occasionally at Henbury during the Commonwealth. He signs the certificate of a wedding in 1656.
