Notes |
- The Will Index to the Archdeaconry Court of Lewes, Sussex, England, contains a reference to the Will of James Ranger. Considering the fact that less than ten percent of the population of eighteenth century England left Wills, finding one with relevant information is particularly exciting.
The Will of James Ranger, carpenter of Northiam, is dated 4 May 1770. In it is mentioned his wife Elizabeth Ranger; his two sons Thomas Ranger and Jasper Ranger; his daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Lemon; his daughter Mary, wife of James Boots; his son Josiah Ranger; his son James Ranger; his grandson Thomas Ranger, son of William and Martha Ranger; his grandson Joseph Boots; his son George Ranger; and his son Christopher Ranger.
The grandson Joseph Boots, is no doubt one and the same as Josia Boots, who was baptized at Northiam in 1758.
The Parish Registers reveal that James Ranger was buried 13 January 1772 at Northiam.
There are few records of Baptisms for members of the Ranger family. The reason for this would seem to be because they were Anabaptists. Parish Registers for Northiam reveal the marriage 31 May 1692 of Thomas Ranger and Susanna Moor. They also contain the following entry: "4 October 1695: a Daughter of Thomas & Susanna Ranger, Anabaptists, was born." It is possible that James Ranger may have been a son of Thomas and Susanna Ranger, but if they were Anabaptists it is unlikely that any baptismal proof will be found.
