(1) Joseph Derby (1616? - Aft 1669? ) Educated at Magdalen Hall Oxford where he matriculated on 29th March 1639 aged 17; May have gone on to Inner Temple 1648; he married Joane COOKE at Thorncombe in Dorset on 1st January 1651/2 and raised a family of six children. He was elected town clerk of Dorchester on 12th Dec 1656. On the 10th May 1660 Charles II was proclaimed at Dorchester and the Mayor John Daniell made a short speech. He was followed by Joseph Derby still Town Clerk. David Underdown in his book about Dorchester 'Fire from Heaven' on page 231 states " He looked back over the 'world of confusions' from which they had just escaped, the strange and ...unheard of government's that had wasted our treasure and much precious blood in the nation'. He then proclaimed Charles II, adding a prayer that his throne might be 'established in righteousness'. There were loud cheers, and the gathering dispersed. Joseph appears to have been alive in 1669 as a conveyance survives at the National Archives (DD/X/WA/22) regarding his part interest in a copyhold tenement in Brockhampton in the parish of Buckland Abbas [now known as Buckland Newton] Dorset called Bewley Wood where his father William Derby with others had purchased the "fee simple" which presumably descended to him on the death of his father in 1649.

(2) Mary Derby (1617 - 1618) baptised at Holy Trinity church Dorchester on 30th Dec 1617 and buried there on 24th April 1618

(3) Elizabeth Derby (1620 - ? ) baptised at Holy Trinity Church on 28th June 1620

(4) Mary Derby (c1622? - ?) according to the 1634 Visitation of Hampshire she married John WHITE (1615-1659/60) the son of Rev. Josias White BD (c.1573 - 1622/3) the brother of Rev John WHITE (1575-1648) . On pages 391/392 of The Rev White's Biography by Rose Troup she states that " John WHITE, second son of Josias, a "merchant adventurer" in Dorchester, married before 1634, Mary, daughter of William DERBY, and removed to London. I have already speculated that Mary's marriage may in fact have been after 1634 as I think Rose Troup, not unreasonably, relied on the date of the Visitation. Regarding her husband Rose Troup refers to "He brought an action against Robert and John Whetcombe, the former having been a member of the Dorchester Company, for goods supplied while he was a merchant adventurer in Dorchester ". I have not located this case but it presumably confirms that they now live in London.

[RICHARD CHURCHILL (abt 1602-1672) Note:-according to William Whiteway's Diary Richard Churchill married Edith Blatchford in Dorchester (probably St Peters) on 14th Sep 1630. Edith Blachford (c1613-1670/1) was the 8th child from the marriage of Richard Blatchford to Frances Combes of Ashmore c1597 whose pedigree and this union with Richard Churchill is recorded in the Visitation of London taken in 1633 (follow link to Edith for image). Richard was the third eldest son of John CHURCHILL (1568-1621) Esq by his wife Eleanor MELLER [MILLER](c1571-1641). Richard received a bequest from his mother in 1641 of £10. Also that year, described as a woollen draper of Dorchester, he was granted administration of the estate of John HARDY of Beaminster as he owed him money. He was elected Bailiff of Dorchester in 1662/3 and again in 1668/9. Edith was buried at St Peters on 10th March 1670/1 folowed by her husband Richard on 17th April 1672. Richard left a will in which his bequests were to their 4 surviving children Sarah, Richard, John and Willian Churchill.

[Note:- Abbotsbury lies abt 10 miles ssw of Dorchester, it's nearest market town. There are no surviving marriages in Dorchester until the 19th century for a Richard Churchill (but see date 14th Sep 1630 above) there are however baptisms there in the 17c. Records are poor because of the civil war 1642-1651 only a few bishops transcripts for Fordington survive prior to 1664 for the period 1577 to 1639. Those for 1629, 1632, 1634, 1636 are also missing. No records survive for All Saints or St Peters only Holy Trinity covering this period so it is not possibly to trace a consistent line back through this time. There are 4 unaccounted for baptisms however, 2 in Fordington and 2 in Dorchester HT, which record children none of the four being the children of Richard & Edith marriage in 1630.

John TORRINGTON is the son of John & Barbara TORRINGTON and was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 23rd March 1635.

[Note:- Zachery [Zacheria] NELSON (1673-1735) was the eldest of seven children of John & Joan NELSON of Dorchester and baptised at Holy Trinity church on 6th July 1673. Follow link provided for more information about his parents and siblings. His father died in April 1715 and for such an influencial man he seems to have omitted to regularise the position of his son and heir Zacheria within the Corporation and I can't even locate a Will or Letter of administration for his father's estate. We find for example that Zacheria is only formally admitted as a member of the Company of Freemen on 15th Sep 1715 when it says he was apprenticed to his father John Nelson for 7 years. Given that his father is already dead this can only be a case of regularising the bookkeeping and recording that he has now paid the admission fee. Now he's a member of the Company they then formally recognise him as a Capital Burgess of Dorchester on 23rd Sep 1715. He was Bailff the following year and re-elected in 1719; 1722 and 1731. He was twice Mayor of Dorchester first in 1717 and again on 12th Dec 1729 . When the existing Alderman Richard SAMWAYS died he was elected in his place as an Alderman of Dorchester on 6th Feb 1726/7.

Note:- John BUCKLAND (1705-1782) John was a surgeon and highly respected in Dorchester.They settled in Holy Trinity Parish to live where he became the most active member of their Church Vestry, his signature consistently appearing upon vestry minutes from as early as 10th March 1734/5. During 1763/4 he was Overseer of the Poor and 1765/7 churchwarden for the parish. Either he or his one of his sons is recorded as being paid for bleeding Mr HOBB's wife on 1st April 1770 and the burial register for the parish of Wool in Dorset on 18th Nov 1770 records the burial of a John Wellsted who died at Dorchester under the care of Dr Buckland 'who cut off a cancer from his shoulder" John was buried at HT on 12th Dec 1782 having been predeceased by his wife Sarah on 16th Aug 1779

(1) John Buckland (c1737-?) bap 29 Jan 1738/9 . He was admitted as a member of the Freemen of Dorchester on 21st Sept 1772.

(2) Peter Buckland (1739-1824) bap 29 Jan 1738/9 He is became eligible to serve in the Militia when he reached the age of 18 and is listed as such in 1758 when his trade is recorded as being that of a barber. He is later also described as being a hair dresser and perukemaker and he took on a number of apprentices (Samuel Wills 4th Feb 1770) (Joseph Bennett on 13th Nov 1770) (Joseph Pearce 1st July 1775)(John Buckland 1st Oct 1777). He married Ann CLINES (d.1803) in All Saints Church in Dorchester on 19th May 1768. This has been incorrectly recorded on ancestry as the marriage of 'John Buckland' but Peter is a beneficiary under the will of his mother-in-law 'the widow Ann Clines' when she wrote her will on 12th May 1780.

BACKGROUND Notes about this family:- [I am grateful to Mr Roy Bowden descendant for much of this background]

Edward CASHER (1740-1809) was born at Winterborne Monkton in Dorset, son of John and Ann CHASIER [i.e. CASHER]. He and his 4 siblings were all duly baptised in St Michael & St Jude's Church in the village. Vizt :- David Chashier bap 1st May 1732, John Chashier bap 13th April 1735, Elizabeth Casher bap 12th Apr 1738, Edward CASHER bap 15th Oct 1740, and Mary Casher bap 29th Nov 1744 [Ref CLDS Film 1239260].

The family were poor and like many others at this time struggled to find enough food to live on. As a consequence they came before the courts on a number of occasions. His brother John first appeared before the court with his father at the age of 13 in 1748 when they were both prosecuted for stealing by Henry Sherren a yeoman of Nether Cerne. John junior was next brought before the General Quarter Sessions held at Sherborne 25th April 1786 when he was described as being "John CASHER from the parish of Winterborne Monkton, aged 49 (born 1739?); unmarried; labourer with dark hair and complexion and grey eyes. He was found guilty of stealing two barton fowls and two ducks the property of William Thresher of Broadmayne a yeoman, valued at 10 shillings, for which it was "ordered that he be confined in the House of Correction of this County for three calendar months and to be publicly and severely whipped at Sherborne in this County on Saturday next in the public market place at noon and also to be publicly and severely whipped at Dorchester in this County at the market day there at noon previous to his being discharged. On the 14th May 1787 he was caught poaching and fined £20 or imprisoned for 3 months so was probably imprisoned. He was caught for a third time and found guilty of stealing fowl at the easter assizes in 1795 for which he spent two years in Dorchester Gaol (from 30th March 1795 to 14th April 1797)

Edward's elder brother David CASHER (1732-1795) married twice and by July 1767 was living at Fordington. Follow link for more information.

Edward CASHER (1740-1809) Described as being 21 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, single and from Winterbourne Monkton, volunteered as a Militia substitute and was accepted to serve for 3 years on 16th April 1762 for James Hellier from the parish of Buckland Newton who had been selected by ballot to serve for that parish. Completion of his service was confirmed at the meeting held at Dorchester on 29th March 1765 when he was described as Edward CASHER of Winterborne Monkton a carpenter by trade and substitute for James Hellier a blacksmith. [Note:- images available on ancestry.com] As shown above Edward married in Stratton when he was aged 23 to Mary nee DAVIS (1743-1817) and they moved to work and live in All Saints Parish in Dorchester around 1772/3. When they died however all members of the family appear to have been returned to Stratton for burial - possibly together in a family plot. Edward died at the age of 68 and was buried at Stratton on 2nd Jan 1809. Mary, who was then described as being from Bere Regis, died at the age of 74 being buried at Stratton on 3rd Dec 1817.

Children:- from the marriage:-
(1). Nathaniel Stickland (1770-1829) bap All St's Church 23rd Jan 1770. In 1797/8 the danger of invasion from France led to an increase in the size and organisation of the Militia. In May 1798 Nathaniel (with his fathers support) was made a Captain of the Dorset Militia and with 1,100 French soldiers landing in County Mayo in Ireland in August 1798 the Dorset & Devon Militia were ordered to Ireland. They embarked on the frigate HMS Arethusa on 1st Sep 1798 and arrived at Carrick on the 12th. Fortunately whilst they were in transit the French had already surrendered at the battle of Ballinamuck in the County Longford when 96 French officers and 748 men were taken prisoner. The Dorset Militia were then used to control local uprisings or disturbances and search for weapons before returning to Dorset in Oct 1799.

Nathaniel was made a Capital Burgess of Dorchester on 5th Oct 1801 and elected Bailiff of the town for the first time on 4th Oct 1802 (also Bailiff 5th Oct 1818 and 4th Oct 1819).

She had also been a beneficiary under her married name of Mary Suzanna COX in her mothers will dated in 1817 but proved in June 1822 when she was left £125 for her own use. They had 7 children together all born at Hinxworth in Hertfordshire:-

By April 1851 Mary Susanna was recorded as living at 15 Southwick Crescent in the district of Paddington in London where she is described as a 'land holder'. With her are 4 of her unmarried children, George aged 52, Emily aged 50, Mary Ann aged 48 and Charlotte aged 42 with 3 servants also living in. By this date she had also adopted the use of an additional 3rd Christian name of 'Michel' which appears on the registration of her death at the GRO in 2nd quarter of 1861 and her burial record at Hinxworth which the Church of Latter Day Saints has recorded (Film xxx) as being on the 19th May 1861. She left a will however and an estate of just under £1,500 with probate granted to her son George on 24th March 1862. This states that she actually died on 24th May 1861 at Southwick Crescent Hyde Park London so it would be necessary to get the death certificate to confirm the true date of death

She died on 26th April 1862 at Wrackleford House in the parish of Stratton (her widowed sister Jane's house) and was probably buried at Dorchester Cemetery.
