BATH/BATHE:

Within the Parish of Egloskerry dwelt my Bath family. The map of the Launceston Distict of Parishes at the right locates a number of the parishes in which this Bath Family did have family related events. They lived in Egloskerry (9), Roger Bath married Honour Chapman in North Petherwin (3). Sarah Bath would marry John Adams of Laneast (13). And eventually Sarah Adams would marry Thomas Hender of Altarnun (12).


John BATH and Margrett ?

7th Great Grandparents


My 7th Great Grandfather was John Bath. He married Margarett who's last name is currently unknown. Known to be in his family are three sons as follows:

  • John Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 20th of April, 1662; disposition unknown.
  • Degory Bath christened 20 December, 1663 at Egloskerry. He married Sarah Prest on October 31, 1694. His will was written and dated December 1, 1732. And his burial is considered that of 10 January 1737, just over 4 years after the writing of his will. It his this will of my 7th Great Uncle that helps to put my Bath family together. That will was written at the end of 1732, December and Degory appears to have died some 4 years later and was buried in January of 1737.
  • Leonard Bath, was christened 9 June 1668 at Egloskerry.
  • Roger Bath, my 6th Great Grandfather, was christened 7th December, 1674 at Egloskerry. He married Honor who's last name is currently unknown to me. They had several children, many of whom are mentioned in Roger's brother's will, Degory Bath.

Not much is known of this family. There is likely other children between Degory and Roger but they are currently unknown to me.

Roger BATH and Honor/Honour CHAPMAN

6th Great Grandparents


My 6th Great Grandfather was Roger Bath of Egloskerry who was christened there on the 7th of December, 1674. He married Honor who now appears to be Honour Chapman as recorded from the extracted parish marriage entry at North Petherwin, dated 28 Mar 1706?. They had 10 known children listed below as follows:

  • John Bath christened at Laneast on the 14th January, 1706. It is his will that ties the family of Roger Bath to that of my 5th Great Grandparents John Adams and Sarah (Bath) Adams the daugther of Roger Bath as it mentions his sister Sarah Adams and her daugther Sarah (Adams) Hender who married my 4th Great Grandfather Thomas Hender of Altarnun. Futher mentioned is his brother in law John Adams and the other children of John Adams and Sarah (Bath) Adams named Williams Adams, Honour Ham, and Christian Adams with reference to Christian's disability by providing funds for her care.
  • Mary Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 21st of June, 1708. She married Thomas Rundell or Rundle on the 2nd February, 1735.
  • Margaret Bath who's christening I have yet to find yet as per her uncle's will, she should be placed in the family at about this position.
  • Degory Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 13th of April, 1710. His disposition is currently unknown.
  • Roger Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 4th of July, 1712. His disposition is currently unknown.
  • Honor/Honour Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 11th of May, 1714. She married William Courtice/Courtis on the 8th of May, 1746.
  • Radigund/Rodigun Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 30th of August, 1715. She, as where many of her brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews, was mentioned in her uncle Degory's will.
  • Sarah Bath, my 4th Great Grandmother, was christened at Egloskerry on the 23rd of July, 1718. She married John Adams my 5th Great Grandfather on the 7th of April, 1752. She was his second wife as he had previously married. They had four children. See the Adams family history.
  • Roger Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 11 July, 1721.
  • Joan Bath christened at Egloskerry on the 25th of August, 1723. She was the baby by some years and she married a George Scawn/Scown on the 2nd of April, 1757 at Stratton.

As stated, my Bath families have been put together by parish records and the wills of Degory Bath my 7th Great Uncle and John Bath my 6th Great Uncle. if these two wills are any indication, it would seem that not much if any of this Bath family's male line survived as there is no mention of any Bath brothers' decendants other than that of Roger Bath my 6th Great Grandfather. While there is amble mention of sisters and sisters' marriages and children.
