St. Mary's - Steeple Ashton
Steeple Ashton History Julie Goddard
A beautiful well-preserved village about three miles from Trowbridge, Steeple Ashton was not named for its church steeple, but for the fact that it was the "staple" or market place for the wool trade from the countryside around. In the 15th century it was also engaged in the cloth industry. Changes in the processes of cloth manufacture entailing the use of running water, which the village does not have, brought the decline of this industry and the village turned to farming. The manor was bought by Walter Long of Whaddon in 1630 and the family remained Lords of the Manor until 1924 when the estate was sold. The magnificent church of St Mary the Virgin dominates the village and can be seen for miles around. It once had a steeple as tall again as the present tower, but it was struck by lightning and fell in 1670 and again in 1675 when rebuilding was abandoned. The registers have been well preserved - the baptisms and burials dating from 1538 and marriages from 1558 are in Wiltshire Record Office together with a wealth of other material relating to the village. Of interest to family historians, are various Vicar's Visiting Lists from 1770 to 1827, the Vestry Order Book 1828-35 and the Churchwarden's Accounts 1543-1668. The village school was started in c1840 and some log books exist, but may have not yet have been handed in to the WRO. A Sunday School was in existence in the mid 1800s and the attendance records are in the WRO.
The depression in agriculture in the 1800s caused distress in the village. Two Berrett brothers left for America in the 1820s. Unemployed Moses Angel was hung for murder in 1828. In 1843, on the death of their father, the Stileman sons left for Australia, the family having been in Ashton House on the Green since about 1500. Mormon missionaries arriving in 1845 converted many of the villagers and a party comprising members of the Berrett, Dunsdon and Smith families left for Utah in 1849. Several village men became Mormon missionaries and left for Utah in the next few years - Berrett, Kemp and Griffens amongst them. In 1864 a further party of Berrett, Barnett and Dunsdon family members left for the Salt Lake Valley. Members of the Berrett and Togwell family also moved to Woolwich to work at the Arsenal there in the 1850s.
Every summer the village is visited by the descendants of various emigrant families and also by the Silverthorn family, who hold an annual family gathering there. Other researched families are the Longs, Axfords and Cantellos- The many monumental inscriptions in the church have been listed.
As a youth, Thomas worked in the fields with his father and brothers William and Robert. On 15 Mar 1794 Thomas married Mary Sainsbury who was born ca 1772. Her actual birthdate and names of her parents are unknown at this writing (1979).
Like his brother Robert, Thomas was left nothing in his father's will, and he worked hard to build his own inheritance. Thomas was an agricultural laborer and thatcher. His death certificate indicated he was a market gardner like many other Berretts. Although his will indicates that he was a "yeoman" or a small farmer who cultivates his own land and was thus in the "middle class", the will does not indicate that he had a "leasehold" on any land or even his house. Apparently Thomas had a "lease" on the home from Walter Long for over sixty years, but did not have the type of lease that he could will to his children. There was no real estate involved in his will. To his children he willed money, furniture, clothing and personal effects. The will states that his "Effects were under 100 pounds and he had no leaseholds." Thomas Berrett, "the Elder" of 1773 was not a wealthy landowner, but a respectable "yeoman" of Steeple Ashton.
Immediately after marriage, Thomas and Mary moved into their home on Silver Street. It was in this home that Thomas lived for sixty-six years. Thomas lived there with Mary Sainsbury for twenty to twenty-six years; with his second wife, Mary, for "up to" thirty years and as a widower for four years. The house where Thomas Berrett and Mary Sainsbury lived on Silver Street is definitely known. It was number 1073 on the 1818 Enclosure Map and number 307 on the 1841 Tithe Map. In 1979 the address of the home was 4 Silver Street and Peggy Dowe Brown, a relative by marriage, lived there in the part farthest east. In 1977 no one lived in the center part where Thomas Berrett once lived. Peggy Dowe Brown married Ron Brown, son of George T. Brown, son of Alfred Brown (1845) who married Lydia Ann Berrett, daughter of John Berrett 1806 and Ellen Marsh. Peggy Dowe's son, Tim Brown, runs The George T. Brown Trucking Co. across the street from the "Thomas Berrett of 1773 Homestead". In 1841 the "Thomas Berrett Homestead" was the second one on the right hand side of the street going east, but in 1979 it was the first home on the street going east. Actually the one house looks like three different houses.
Thomas and Mary probably moved into their home on Silver Street soon after marriage. Four years after marriage (1800) their names appear on a list of inhabitants of Silver Street. Thomas also appeared on an 1813 list. Thomas and Mary were living there when both the 1841 and 1851 census was taken. In the 1841 census a daughter Elizabeth was living with Thomas and Mary along with two of Elizabeth's three illegitimate children: Mary b. Dec 1832 (8 years old) and Anna Marie b. 20 Oct 1839 (l year old). Perhaps the third child, George b. 8 Jan 1837, was deceased or living elsewhere. When the 1851 census was taken, only thirty-three-year-old "Sussen" (Susannah), Thomas' youngest daughter was living with her parents. Susannah later married George Barnett sometime between 1851-59.
Thomas and Mary Sainsbury had thirteen children before Mary's untimely death at age forty-eight. She was buried 3 Dec 1820 according to Parish records.
Thomas married another woman named Mary sometime between 1820 and 1841. The 1841 census listed Thomas Berrett age 60 and wife Mary age 60. The 1851 census listed Thomas age 70 and Mary age 73. The names of Mary's parents are unknown. Thomas and his second wife, Mary, had no children.
Thomas' second wife, Mary, died at age seventy-six and was buried 9 Mar 1856 according to the parish register. If this age is accurate, then Mary would have been born in 1780 which is probably more correct than the 1771 or 1773 dates.
Death came to Thomas Berrett at age eighty-seven on 2 Feb 1860 at Steeple Ashton. Matilda Berrett, Thomas' niece and housekeeper was present at his death.

Descendants of William Dailey
Generation No. 1
1. WILLIAM1 DAILEY (Source: Jim Hughes.) was born Abt. 1748 in Ireland (Source: Jim Hughes.), and died 1840 in Davie, Rowan County, NC?. He married
MARY PALMER (Source: Jim Hughes.) Bef. 1771 in New Jersey (Source: Palmer, Bowby record), daughter of EDWARD PALMER and HANNA BOWLBY. She was
born 1754 in Hopewell, Hunterdon CO., New Jersey (Source: Jim Hughes.), and died November 14, 1819 in Rowan County, North Carolina (Source: Jim
Hughes.).Notes for WILLIAM DAILEY:
William came from Ireland to America and settled in New Jersey before the Revolutionary War.
Two of his sons, Charles and James went to North Carolina and from there to Washington County, Indiana where they both reared large families. This information is
directly from John R. Daily's "Pilgrimage of a Stranger."
Harvey Sheppard's notes say that William and Mary Palmer Dailey moved to the "Jersey
Settlement on the Yadkin River in North Carolina early in the 1780's."
James C. Hughes wrote: "William Dailey came to America with his older brother, Charles, before the Revolutionary War of 1767 from, I believe, Northern Ireland.
William was probably 10 - 15 years old. They apparently lived in New Jersey near Philadelphia, PA. There, William married Mary Palmer. William and Mary
settled in Davidson County, NC (which is central near Lexington) - see Land Grant #2760 Book #17 p588. May 4, 1800 Rowan County N.C. entered May 5,
1794. Rowan County is
adjacent to Davidson County. Then James Dailey (son of William and Mary) with brother Charles moved
to Washington County in southern Indiana, where Peter was born to James and Elizabeth Dailey. Peter's name is now spelled Daily (without the e.) He married Zelia
Nettie Gray in 1842. She was born in Washington County, Indiana and her parents were from Connecticut. Peter and Zelia had a son Wiley in 1843 and moved to
Missouri. They returned to Clinton County, IN where John R. Daily was born to them in 1854. The Daileys settled in the Jersey Settlement, which is now Davidson
County, NC area. They lived on the waters of Lick Creek, probably between 1st Creek and Flat Swamp. The State Grant #2670 at 30 shillings the 100 acres to
William Dailey, 100 acres on Flat Swamp and Buck Branch next to Leonard Smith and John Conger. (Book 17, p. 588 - May 4, 1800) Rowan County, NC
entered March 5, 1794. This land later sold by Charles Dailey's son, Edmund Dailey. The land may have been given him by his grandfather, William Dailey. It sold
(Record Book 23, p. 692, Feb. 8, 1816) to James and Joseph Cerick. Wit: John Dar & Thomas Holmes. This information was obtained from
"Bowlby-Palmer-Dailey-Todd History" by June Barekman and "Pilgrimage of a Stranger 1901."
Denise Trued: "It is thought William and his older brother Charles landed in PA but as yet we
have found no record." "Mary Palmer was mentioned in her father's will of 1779 and was mentioned as
being the wife of Wm. Daily. On March 5, 1794 William entered land of 100 acres in the Jersey
Settlement of NC, which is now Davidson, NC. Mary Palmer Daily's will was found in the McCubbins
Collection of Rowan CO., NC and probated in February 1820 and mentions Alexander Stephen's as the
husband of her daughter Mary." "Mary Palmer's mother was Hannah Bowlby. ("Our Bowlby Kin by
June Barekman and Raymond Bowlby" a good source - also "History of Edmund Etchison - Revolutionary Soldier of NC and his Descendants.")From "Some New Jersey Families Found in Early Rowan County, N.C. - Bowlby, Palmer, Dailey, Todd, Stevens" by June B. Barekman, Genealogist: "1820
Census of Rowan County, North Car.:
3 males under 10, 3 males 10 - 16, 1 male 26 - 45
1 female under 10, 1 female 26 - 45"From "Our Bowlby Kin Vol. 1" by June Barekman: "William Dailey came from Ireland as a young lad with his older brother, Charles Dailey. The possibility exists
these Daileys lived near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later moved to New Jersey. We find Mary Dailey listed in her grandfather, John Bowlby's will of 1779, New
Jersey. Mary (Palmer) Dailey left a will found in the McGubbins Collection of Rowan County, North Carolina as follows: "The will of Mary Dealy who died 14
November 1819 was unwritten, but on 21 November 1819, James Briggs and Hannah Briggs say that she left John Dealy a purse with $1.44, a small pot, a sheep,
a bell which are at the house of Alexander Stephens and left the balance to Alexander Stephens and his wife Mary. Probated in February 1820." The non-cupative
will of Mary Dailey is proved by James and Hannah Briggs.
"The Daileys settled in the Jersey Settlement, which is now in Davidson County, North Carolina area. They lived on the waters of Lick Creek, and probably
between 1st Creek and Flat Swamp. The State Grants #2670 at 30 shillings the 100 acres to William Dailey, 100 acres on Flat Swamp and Buck Branch next to
Leonard Smith and John Conger. (Book 17, p. 588 - May 4, 1800) Rowan County, N.C., entered March 5, 1794. This land is later sold by Charles Dailey's son,
Edmund Dailey. The land may have been given him by his Grandfather, William Dailey. (Record Book 23, page 692, 8 February 1816.) to James and Joseph
Cerick. Wit: John Darr & Thomas Holmes.
Also From "Our Bowlby Kin Vol. 1" by June Barekman: "From Census records - materials found in court house records - The McCubbins Files, and researchers in
the Rowan-Davie-Davidson Counties, N.C. areas we are able to determine some of the children of William Dailey and his wife, Mary Palmer. Lawrence, Charles,
James, William, John, Mary."
Denise Trued stated that "Mary Palmer Daily's will was found in the McCubbins Col and probated in Feb. 1820 and mentions Alexander Stephen's as the husband
of her daughter Mary."The "Palmer, Bowlby Record" has Mary & William married in Davie, NC.
June Barekman in an unrecorded source wrote that Wm. died in Mansfield Woodhouse.The following was sent by Fred Daily from Cindy Danison. There is nothing to prove it was our William Dailey; however, it is too good a story to lose so am
including it as a happening of the times: From the Virginia Gazette, March 26th, 1767 - "Run away from the sibscriber (sp), in Northumberland county, two Irish
convict servants named William and Hannah Daylies, tinkers by trade, of which the woman is extremely good; they had a note of leave to go out and work in
Richmond county and Hobb's Hole, the money to be paid to Job Thomas, in said county; soon after I heard they were run away. The man wore a light coloured
coarse cloth frock coat, a blue stripped satin jacket, and plaid one, a pair of leather breeches, a pair of russia drill white stockings, a little brown bog wig, and his hat
cocked up very sharp. He is about 5 feet 8 inches high, of a sandy complexion, and freckled; is a well made fellow, somewhat bow legged. The woman had on an
old stuff gown and a light coloured petticoat, and under petticoat of cotton with a blue selvedge at the bottom, and a blue striped satin gown, the same with his
jacket, two shirts, with very short ruffles, and white thread stockings. They had a complete set of tinkers tools. They were seen to have two English guineas and a
good deal of silver, and said in Essex county they lived in Agusta, and inquired the road that way. Whoever will apprehend both or eather (sp) of said servants,
brings them to me, shall have 5 pounds reward for each, and reasonable travelling chares allowed by William Tate."Notes for MARY PALMER:

male grandchild of mature age through a daughter. His brother James is named as bondsman to his marriage to Rachel Davis. This is believed to have been his second marriage because
the 1800 census lists Phillip and wife between 26 and 45 years with one male under age 10. He is believed to have had at least one son, Moses, born to this marriage. There may have been
a daughter, Elizabeth, from Phillip's first marriage, but this Elizabeth is believed more likely to have been his younger sister as she is considered in this work.On 13 Oct 1796 when Philip was 38, he married Rachel DAVIS4, F, in Rowan Co., NC.4

Bowlby Palmer, sons of James Palmer" also appeared in the will. The 1800 Rowan County census indicates that the household of James B. Palmer aged 26-45 years had a son and a
daughter under 10 years with his wife under the age of 26 years. The 1810 census indicates the same household with two boys and a girl under 16 years, a boy and a girl under 10 years,
two girls under 26 years (probably help or relatives), and a male and female 26-45 years.On 15 Jan 1794 when James Baird was 22, he married Hannah McKEEN, F, in Rowan County, NC.4 Born in 1771 in St. Thomas, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.6 At the age of 83, Hannah

husband Eli Bradshaw Weddington. Eli and Margaret had married in Rowan Co., NC on May 16, 1815. The area where they all lived in Franklin Co., TN was called Beans Creek. Not far

The State of Texas } In County Court sitting on business appertaining Gonzales County } to estates of dec'd. persons January Term 1859 To Hon. Charles Mason, Chief Justice of
Gonzales County? Your petitioners Lewis Evans and his wife Eliza Evans both of said County and State and Wm. L. Weddington and his wife Hannah Weddington both of DeWitt
County in said State represent that Sarah Palmer late of Gonzales County, Texas, departed this life intestate in said County on the 10th of October A.D. 1858, leaving a small estate and
that the said Lewis Evans has been by your Hon. appointed administrator of the estate of said decedent and has filed in your Court his inventory and appraisement of said estate and that
all the debts of the estate have been paid and that the only heirs of said decedent are her three children to wit the said Eliza Evans and Hannah Weddington and Margarette Weddington
and the said last named Margarette Weddington is the wife of Eli B. Weddington both of whom reside in Gibson County in the State of Tennessee, being non-residents. Your petitioners
file their bond in the terms of the law for the partition of said estate and pray that the same be partitioned equally between the said Eliza Evans and Hannah Weddington and Margarette
Weddington. The property to be partitioned consists of twelve negroes and some stock and some claims due the estate, as per inventory. Prayer is made that the said non-resident
Margarette Weddington and her husband Eli B. Weddington be cited by publication in the terms of the law to appear at the March term of your Court to be holden in the town of

4. Philip PALMER, Grandson, M. Born abt 1758 in New Jersey.36He was the first grandchild through a daughter listed in John Bowlby's will of 1779 to receive a half acre lot in what is now New Hampton, but this was probably because he was the only
male grandchild of mature age through a daughter. His brother James is named as bondsman to his marriage to Rachel Davis. This is believed to have been his second marriage because
the 1800 census lists Phillip and wife between 26 and 45 years with one male under age 10. He is believed to have had at least one son, Moses, born to this marriage. There may have been
a daughter, Elizabeth, from Phillip's first marriage, but this Elizabeth is believed more likely to have been his younger sister as she is considered in this work.On 13 Oct 1796 when Philip was 38, he married Rachel DAVIS4, F, in Rowan Co., NC.4

100. James Sr. Briggs
James Briggs Sr. (b. abt 1753 in Rowan Co., NC) married Anna Collins and lived along the Yadkin River area in NC, along with many Sarratt/Surratt neighbors. A number of these
neighbors moved from Davidson Co., NC, to Brown Co., about 1836-37, including John Sarratt, Samuel Briggs, John Briggs (and wife Constance Peacock), Elijah Lanier and wife Sarah
Sexton, and John Boss. Later, several other families moved to Brown Co., including Henry Briggs, Samuel J. Peacock, Henry Clark Nothern, Calvin Hill, etc.James and Anna Briggs had children: James Jr., Richard, John Lemuel, and Philip, along with Sarah, Ann and Catherine. (It is speculated by one researcher that they also had three other
children, as noted in census counts, but their names are not found at this time.)(Note: We believe James Briggs' father was Thomas Briggs but can't prove it.) James Briggs Sr. stayed in
Rowan Co., NC. as far as can be determined; at least he is not found in Brown Co. records yet.
