Notes |
- The Venns are thought to have come from the Wash in eastern Central England on The North Sea When some members drifted west into Somerset the name changed from Fenn to Venn gradually some moved into Devonshire at Payhembury on the east side where this Henry was born. He moved west to the vicinity of Kingsnmpton on the east side of the famous Dartmoor Hills and our branch of the family spread around that area for a 150 years when some moved to the English Channel towns and some came to North America and one moved to Australia. The family has been hard for me to trace ... mostly because there were so many sons named Henry. Every family had a Henry and if that name was taken, then William, Richard or Samuel.
- (Research):A contender is "Henry Venn of Peyhembury" who married Jane Good in 1727 (we have found two possible candidates, sons born in 1704/5 to Edward Venn and to John Venn of Haskins). This branch of the Venn family lived in Kings Nympton and Chulmleigh from 1735 until well into the 19th century, branching out into other nearby parishes including Bishops Nympton and Chittlehampton. During the 19th century some of their descendants moved further east towards Tiverton, and are recorded in the parishes of Cruwys Morchard, Cheriton Fitzpaine and Templeton. By the end of the 19th century the family had spread to Devonport, Crediton and Willand.
