Disambiguation

This is not either of the Thomas Saverys featured by Robert Charles Anderson.

  • NOT Thomas (who wrote his will 6 April 1674) migrated 1633, settled in Plymouth, married Ann and had children about 1654-1658.[1]
  • NOT Thomas who came on the Mary & John, 1634, with a William Savory. 'He was a liar, a lewd fellow, had a child by an Indian woman. He was in Ipswich and Newport'. Anderson gives no estimated dates for his birth and death.[2]

Biography

Thomas Savery may be the Thomas Savory baptised in Hannington, Wiltshire, in 1574, no father mentioned.[3]

A Robert Savery was buried 1 May 1598.[4] His will bequeathed to widow Joan; his son Thomas and to his brothers Richard, Thomas, and Anthony. Thomas's parents, then, were likely Robert Savery and Joan.

Marriage and Children

Thomas Savory married Mary Woodcocke, 26 Jan 1595/6, in Hannington, Wiltshire.[5][6][7][8][9]

Thomas's will (written in 1646 and proved in 1654) named his 'eldest sonnes' Robert, Thomas, Anthony and John Savery, a daughter Mary Symmonds and a younger son Richard Savery.[10] From the will, the following baptisms are very likely correct (with probable children added from other baptisms):

  • probable son John Savory (1596-1597) was baptised on 14 Nov 1596 in Hannington.[11] A John Savory was buried on 13 Feb 1596/7 in Hannington.[12]
  • Robert Savory (1598-) was baptised on 14 May 1598 in Hannington.[13]
  • probable daughter Johan Savorie (1601-1628) was baptised on 4 Mar 1600/1 in Hannington, the only baptism with the father listed, which was Thomas.[14] Johan's godparents were Willm Edwards, Elizabeth Batson and Thomas Savery snr.[15] Johan probably married Robert Marsh and passed away in 1628.
  • Thomas Savorye (1603-) was baptised 13 Feb 1602/3 in Hannington.[16] His godfather's were Thomas Savorye senior[17] and Willm Edwards junior, and godmother Elizabeth Batson (image).
  • Anthony Savorie (1605-c.1647) was baptised on 20 Jan 1604/5 in Hannington.[18] Anthony's godfather's were Anthonie Fferis [Feris] of Ashton [Keynes] Kemes and Thomas Mathew, and his godmother was Johan Edwards (image).
  • John Savorie (1607-) was baptised on 1 Jan 1606/7 in Hannington.[19] John's godparent's were Wat Becket, Wat Weston and Frances Pinell.[15]
  • Richard Savory (1609-) was baptised on 19 Feb 1608/9 in Hannington.[20] Richard's godfather's were John Harper and Robert Boulton, and his godmother Margerie Mathew.[15] Richard possibly married Dorothy Edwards.
  • probable son William Savorie (1613-1613) was baptised on 3 Jan 1612/13 in Hannington.[21] His godparents were William Harper jnr, John Wilkins and Margaret Mathew.[15] A William Savory was buried on 27 Jul 1613 in Hannington.[22]
  • Marie Savory (1614-) was baptised on 15 Oct 1614 in Hannington.[23] Mary's godparents were Marie Savorie, Joene Harper and William Jackson.[15] She married Francis Symmons.

Burial

No burial is found, but an entry for 1654 (the year Thomas's will was proved) states 'Thomas Savory and Mary his wife were "married" June 19th'. This could possibly be a mistake for their burials.[24] Challenging this is the possibility that Mary's will survives and was written in 1663, then proved in 1668, although she would have been in her 90s (see Mary).[25]

Will of Thomas Savery

The will of Thomas Savery of Hannington, Wilts, yeoman (written 19 November 1646) named eldest sonnes Robert, Thomas, Anthony and John, 12d apiece to be paid within a year; Mary Symmonds my daughter; grandchildren [unnamed] 12d apiece; Robert Savery the younger, my grandchild; sonne Richard Savery; Mary Savery loving wife sole exec.; Thomas Mathew and Richard Clarke overseers. Witnesses Simon Gearing, Margret [Weston?] and William Symmonds. Proved 1 Jul 1654.[26]


Research Notes

  • Note on Hannington baptisms: Hannington baptisms usually did not list parents at this time, but they frequently did name the godparents.
  • Thomas is frequently recorded as having children who emigrated in the 1600s; this dominantly comes this a secondary source (written in 1893), with added citations from Family Search:"A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the Savery Families (Savory and Savary) and of the Severy Family... by A.W. Savary, M.A. The Collins Press Boston, 1893: link. The same author changed his mind on a few points a few years later (1905) link.

Savory-66 and Savery-25 appear to represent the same person because: Despite the differing birth places (a mistake on one) suggest merge as they seem to suggest the same person with different spellings of the surname, and have the same spouse with different spellings of the surname.

Hope the edits are not minded. I did it in one go, so it's easy to change back if there are issues.

Note links with the Mathew family. Wills of both the Savery and Mathew families name members of the other family. Thomas Savery was also godfather to Thomas Mathew: https://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Boulton-883.

Just posting some things which may (or may not) help with Thomas Savory of Hannington, Wiltshire.

1. https://archive.org/details/saveryseverygene00savauoft/page/n7

This is the preface to the 1905 ‘Savery and Severy Genealogy’ which is a supplement to the earlier work of 1893. See the bottom paragraph where A.W. Savary states he no longer thinks that Thomas and Mary Woodcocke (Woodrorke- aargh!) are the parents of any of the immigrants, but he still thinks there’s a family connection. (I think largely based on the name Anthony and the Hannington connection to Reverend Robert Parker of Newbury. Which could well be a sound theory, but unless something turns up stating someone is overseas etc. I doubt an answer will be found.)

2. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D793617

Mentions ‘grandchildren’ but doesn’t name them, apart from – ‘Robert Savery the younger, my grandchild’. Son Richard Savery. Wife Mary.

Brother-in-law Francis Symonds, Mary wife of Francis, daughter Mary now wife of Edmund Morgan, kinsmen Walter Morgan, Robert Morgan, Thomas Morgan, Henrie Morgan, Charles Morgan, Nathaniell Morgan and Edward Morgan. Kinswoman Elizabeth Morgan, brother-in-law Henrie Georges (?) of Woodbridge. Probated by wife Susanna on 29th Nov 1672 (Also will of Susanna Savery of Fairford Gloucestershire: PCC, Quire 1-45, PROB 11/418/80, 8th Jan 1694 – the Morgan ‘kinsmen’ above in Robert’s will are Robert Savery’s Morgan grandchildren. And a witness to Susanna’s will is another Robert Savery.)


4.https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D755855

Thomas Savery, Yeoman of Hannington, Wiltshire – PCC, Drax 52-101, PROB 11/373/132 Calls himself Thomas Savery the Elder. Son Thomas Savery, Grandson Thomas Savery, Son-in-law Henry Curtoice (Curtis), daughter Elizabeth Cutoice, grandson Henry Curtoice, wife - , brother Richard Savery, brother-in-law Richard Gearing of Lechlade, Gloucestershire, sister-in-law Dorothy Gearing of Lechlade. Probated by wife Mary (Maria in latin) 22nd May 1683 (* Probably not the Thomas who married Sibel Gerring in Hannington 1620, as there is a will for Sibill Savery, widow of Hannington in 1655. PCC, Aylett 373-425 PROB 11/250/476.)

6.https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D861024

Will of Anthony Savery, PCC, Essex 150-190, PROB 11/206/133, 16th November 1648. This one has nothing to distinguish location so caution needed – but he has daughters Mary, Elizabeth and Susanna and son Thomas, and appoints brothers Thomas and Richard as executors.
