HENRY HONEYSET: Yeoman of Hailsham

The eldest son of Richard and Elizabeth, Henry was born in Herstmonceux where he married Elizabeth Erray/Arry from Ninfield on 24 April 1770. Henry was a yeoman farmer and lived in Hailsham where he owned 'Coggers' and also land in Wartling. He sold some of his land in 1790. They had a number of children baptised, the first two in Herstmonceux, the rest in Hailsham: Elizabeth (9 Oct 1770), Richard (28 Nov 1771), William (3 May 1773 buried 15 Jun 1781), Henry (4 Jun 1775), Jane (6 Nov 1776), Charles (20 Apr 1778), Fancourt (16 Mar 1780 buried 6 May 1780) and Ann (18 May 1781 buried 14 Jul 1781)

Henry was buried in Hailsham on 12 May 1791 and he left 5 guineas per year to his wife and the remainder to be shared between his five surviving children when the youngest, Charles, reached the age of 21 (1799).

Of Henry's children:
Elizabeth married Francis Box, a widower from Speldhurst, Kent, in Hailsham on 18 October 1791. Details of the Box family are on Avis Leigh's homepage.
Richard became a cooper, married Mary Martin and lived in Frant.
Henry moved to Chatham in Kent where he worked as a wheelwright and married Ann Winder in Tenterden.
Charles appears to have followed his brother Henry to Chatham where he married Sarah Dyke and also worked as a wheelwright.
