| Thomas was born
near Rusper,Sussex, in 1775. He was part of a family of farmers who had
lands north of Horsham. Rusper is fortunate in having a census for 1821, with some detail. The family is living at Cripplegate. Rebecca and son John are still there in 1841. The cottage dating from around the end of the 1500s is still standing, enclosed inside two later extensions. It is thought to have had between 10 and 20 acres of land. Peter, Thomas's brother had 300 acres at Hyes Farm near Rudgwick, bother John had 80 acres at Parsons Farm near Roffey and brother Richard was at North Heath Farm near Horsham. Cousin James had 140 acres furthur south in the county at Newick. Gravestones for Rebecca, her parents, and children Mary, Susan, Thomas and John can still be seen in the Rusper churchyard. |
