<p>Raven: Birth documentation obtained, Richard and Mary are parents of George...</p> <hr /> <div>'''Richard Witney'''<br /> ([[Family:Witney, John (1701-a1745)|John]]),<br /> son of [[Family:Witney, John (1701-a1745)|John and Mary (Huggill) Whitney]], <br /> born 1740, Blewberry, Berkshire, England, baptized 21 Jan 1740, Blewberry, Berkshire, England, died 9 Mar 1818, Henton, near Chinnor, Oxfordshire England, buried 11 Mar 1818, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England.<br /> <br /> He married 26 Nov 1762, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England, '''Mary Dimmock'''. She was born 1735, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England, bp. 19 Feb 1735, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England.<br /> <br /> In 1762 they resided Blewberry, Berkshire, England.<br /> <br /> Amanda Taylor states:<br /> :&quot;Richard and Mary's marriage is recorded on Brookes Marriage Index. Richard WITNEY is stated as being from Blewberry in Berkshire and was five years younger than his wife at the time, with Richard being 22 and Mary, 27 years of age.&quot;<br /> <br /> :&quot;Richard and Mary had sixteen children who were all born and christened in Chinnor, Oxfordshire. It would appear that Mary was 55years of age when her youngest child Elizabeth was born in 1790.&quot;<br /> <br /> :&quot;This fact has been confirmed by our cousin Elizabeth GADD, also a direct descendant of this couple who agreed it is not the norm but not too unusual and did happen in families that the wife would have children coming up to or into her 50s. Mary was a &quot; late starter&quot; too being 27 at the time of her marriage. The children's baptisms are recorded regularly in the Parish Registers, with no huge gaps and no other couple (with the same names) having children at the same time, and no death/burial or re-marriage in that time. Therefore the only other possibility is that could be that Mary died and Richard re-married (to another Mary) and no researchers have found the burial or marriage.&quot;<br /> <br /> :&quot;In Chinnor earliest records there are WITNEYs.......either John WITNEY (father of Richard) or his parents may originally have come from Chinnor......or maybe John took work in Blewbury , raised his family there, still retaining links with Chinnor, and then his son Richard met Mary DIMMOCK on a visit to relatives in Chinnor.&quot;<br /> <br /> Children of Richard and Mary (Dimmock) Witney:<br /> <br /> :{|<br /> | align=right valign=top | i.<br /> | '''Jenny Witney''', bp. 17 Mar 1760, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England, bur. 26 Apr 1811, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England.
