Biography

Benedict Thorpe was born in 1666. He was baptised at St. Margaret the Queen church, Buxted, Sussex on the 13th May 1666, the register entry reading 'Benedict Thorpe sonne of Benedict Thorpe and Susannah Browne, base born child, was baptised the thirteenth day of May' ^[1]. Benedict's parents then married on the 14th of June of the same year ^[2].

Benedict was buried at St. Margaret the Queen church, Buxted on the 1st March 1696 (1695 in the Julian calendar) ^[3] some seven months before his last child Judith was born. Note the date is mis-entered on familysearch as the 9th March but the 'st' is clear (rather than 'th') and burials are entered chronologically, the next being on the 5th March.
