  • Stray bits relating to American immigrant Henry1 Sherburne of New Hamps

    From Johnny Brananas@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 6 09:35:18 2022
    Walter Goodwin Davis's book on his ancestor Joseph Waterhouse, p. 96, has a footnote discussing a putative son, Neville Sherburne, of Henry1 Sherburne's uncle, (Rev.) Augustine Sherburne: "It is beyond credibility that he [Augustine] had a son, Neville,
    who was slain at the battle of Lutzen on November 16, 1692, when, even if posthumous, he would have been aged 82!"

    Walter G. Davis was apparently misinformed about the date of the Battle of Lutzen -- the actual date was November 1632, not 1692:

    https://books.google.com/books?id=qP1CAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA421&dq=%22king+of+sweden%22+lutzen+1632&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIgryv76DhAhVEhOAKHV4cDsgQ6AEIMzAC#v=onepage&q=%22king%20of%20sweden%22%20lutzen%201632&f=false

    Therefore it seems quite possible that a son Neville, of Rev. Augustine Sherbourne, who d. 1610, could have perished at Lutzen in 1632.

    This old article on the maternal ancestry of the English poet Alexander Pope incidentally shows that Walter G. Davis was a little off on the identity of Augustine Sherbourne's wife (whom he calls a Willoughby)--she was instead Elizabeth Moorhouse of St
    Helen's (Yorkshire ?), whom he married 18 August 1595, with their son Neville Sherburne stated to have been born in 1596.

    https://books.google.com/books?id=kzULXfzM16IC&pg=PA152&dq=%22augustine+sherburn%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiy4fz97qDhAhXuUN8KHVdwD7UQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=%22augustine%20sherburn%22&f=false

    Although I suppose the name "Neville" might have come in through the Moorhouse side, I wonder if it could be an indication of ancestry behind the Sherburnes of the city of Oxford.
