Nathaniel STICKLAND & Martha SMALL of this parish married 14 Nov 1742 (PR)

Note:- Nathaniel STICKLAND (d.1761) was a Gentleman, and as such his family moved within the rather elite circles of the wealthy who ran the corporation (or governing body) in Dorchester. He did not attend university but became an attorney learning his trade at the hands of Robert LODER a respected attorney already operating in Dorchester (Robert had been elected bailiff of the town in the years 1728; 1732; 1738; 1742 and Mayor in 1740). The following year at the height of his influence within the Corporation Robert Loder took on Nathaniel Stickland as an apprentice paying the tax due on indentures on 06 July 1741. Being an attorney's apprentice he would have had to serve a minimum of 7 years so Nathaniel was made a Freeman of Dorchester after he became an attorney in his own right on 23rd June 1748. From 1747/8 onwards he witnessed many of the wills drawn up in Dorchester and himself took on two apprentices; the first was John Burleigh on 12th Jan 1754 and the second his own son Robert Stickland when he was 16 years old on 8th Jan 1760. By then Nathaniel was also churchwarden of All Saints Church. Nathaniel owned several properties in Dorchester which he left to his four children (as indicated below) in his Will dated 2 Jan 1758. He was buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 10th May 1761 his will being proved in London on 24th July 1761 by his son Robert and wife Martha. Robert having inherited the family home, Martha moved into a house in All Saints Parish to live with her two spinster daughters and was buried with her husband on 6th March 1782. She also left a will dated 10 Jan 1780 which was proved on 9th April 1782 with bequests to her 3 surviving children, Ann having died in 1779. Children from this marriage were:-

(1) Robert Stickland (1744-1804) bap All Saints Church Dorchester on 29th June 1744. He was left the family dwelling house (presumably in All Saints parish?) in his fathers will in 1761, with his mothers' right to remain for life. He married at St James Church in Westminster in London to Jane MITCHEL (1748-1822) on 27th Dec 1767. Follow link to their marriage for more information about his family. Martha left him just £20 in her will in 1781 as he had also inherited his fathers business and was already a very rich man.

(2) Nathaniel Stickland (1746-1785) bap All Saints Church Dorchester on 27 May 1746. He was left property by his father in St Peters parish in 1761 which was then in the occupation of a Nicholas Stickland. He became an apothecary and was a joint beneficiary with his sister Martha in his mothers Will in 1781. He married to a Mary (Unknown) circa 1771 and had 6 children all born in St Peters Parish in Dorchester :- (1) John bap 2nd July 1773 (2) William James bap 18th Apr 1775 (3) Nathaniel Stickland (1777-bef1839) bap 26 Feb 1777 ;a bequest to his children of £210 is in the will of Martha Stickland (1748-1839) when he is referred to as being deceased and her nephew. (4) Joseph bap 4th May 1779 (5) James bap 14 Jan 1782 (6) Mary bap privately 19th June 1784 received into the church 11th Jan 1785.

(3) Martha Stickland (1748-1839) bap All Saints Church Dorchester on 20 Jan 1747/8 . She was left property called the 'Green Dragon' in Durngate Street in the parish of All Saints in her fathers will proved in 1761. Joint beneficiary with her brother Nathaniel in his mothers will in 1781.She remained a spinster and left a Will dated 13th Feb 1834. She lived to the age of 92 and was buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 25 Jan 1839. Her will was proved at London on 28th Feb 1839

1749

Joseph CHURELL [i.e. CHURCHILL] of the parish of Fordington and Charity CLARK of Abury 29th March 1749 (PR)

[Note:-Regarding Joseph CHURCHILL (1723-??): Poor quality register - 'Abury' is actually an abbreviation for 'Abbotsbury' where Clark families were in the parish for generations. His brides christian name was actually 'Christian' not 'Charity' as recorded at marriage and she was baptised at Abbotsbury on 1st Sep 1724 as Christian CLARK (1724-1777) the daughter of Henry & Catharine Clark, so she was 25 years old at marriage. The confusion over her name may arise from the fact that Joseph was the illegitimate son of the widow 'Charity CHURCHILL' . I have provided a link to a transcription of a Bastardy Bond issued for her providing more background information about his family and his baptism at Fordington on 21st July 1723 . After marriage Joseph & Christian settled in St Peters Parish where four children were baptised before they moved to live at Holy Trinity Parish where a 5th was born as shown below. They then moved again back to Fordington to live where Christian CHURCHILL died and was buried at St Georges Church on 14th Dec 1777.

(1) Joseph CHURCHILL bap StP 19th Jun 1750 recorded as the son of Joseph Churchill.
