The “Lands of Burlorne” Confirms:
Catherine Paynter’s Father Is John Hender!
There is a falsehood currently being perpetrated on the
Ancestral scene of just who is the ancestor of Catherine Hender who married Johnson
Paynter. Some like to ‘trim’ it up a bit to remove her from her name by spelling
‘Catherine’ as ‘Katherine’ with a ‘K’. For sure if you spell it with a ‘K’, you must know
for sure, right? NOT. And why not take the true Catherine’s ‘baptism date’ of ‘18 Mar
1766’ to be the ‘birth date’ to use as a ‘stepping stone’ to YOUR preferred Catherine’s
baptism date of 22 Jan 1769? Fact is, the true Catherine’s baptism was on 18 March 1766 at
Lanivet and her father is John Hender, yeoman of Lanivet NOT William of Egloshayle/St
Issey. Yep, it is a tangled web that they do weave to deceive in order to achieve the
falsified pedigree, which leads to William Hender and Joanna Shepherd [Sheppard], who ARE
NOT the parents of the Catherine Hender who married Johnson Paynter at all.
If they had not robbed the real Catherine Hender of her baptism date, their Catherine
Hender would surely be exposed as the false Catherine according to her age upon her
burial. That is why they ‘had to’ presume their birth date to be that actual baptism date
of the true Catherine, which does fit the facts of the matter.
National Archives Proof
Here is the land transactions proof of it from the National Archives. That is to the
question of ‘Who married Johnson Paynter? Was it Catherine Hender of Lanivet or
Catherine Hender of Egloshayle?’ And the answer is Hender of Lanivet.

This is some relevant information of the false family claimants. William and Joanna were
married at St Issey, but they had lived at Egloshayle during the life’s of their last
three children and can be shown to have died and been buried there. Supposedly this
Catherine returns to St Issey, the land of her father’s birth and marriage, to marry
Johnson Paynter. Though not perfectly clear on the marriage record, she is presumed to be
that Catherine Hender, sojourner from Egloshayle, where she would have been born. One note
is that there is a possible burial record under her name at Egloshayle that would make her
decease at this later date. That seems to be a summary of the case for this ‘false’
Catherine Hender.
Now we will look at the parish information for the ‘true’ Catherine Hender. Remember we
have just above taken her through all of the National Archive records which have clearly
pointed her out to be of St. Veep. St Veep being that land of her mother’s and father’s
marriage and likely maternal family relatives. As is the OPC transcribed marriage entry of
Johnson Paynter provided below does not state from whence she is a sojourner from. The
National Archives have stated her plainly to be of St Veep NOT Egloshayle at all. And they
have also aligned her to be the daughter of John Hender Jr. of Lanivet and the
granddaughter of John Hender Sr., also of Lanivet. In addition to the related parish
records of this family below, there is another web page for Lanivet which presents even
more information concerning this family’s ancestry and connections.
First is shown the marriage record of John Hender Jr. of Lanivet to Mary Bassett recorded
in St Veep. Though they will live and have children in Lanivet, it is to St Veep which
Catherine Hender will go and be account as then being of ‘St Veep’ and the spinster who
marries Johnson Paynter in the records of the National Archives already presented.

And here below is the marriage entry of Johnson Paynter and Catherine Hender. Note, though
at one time Johnson Paynter will be said to be of Little Patherick, at the actual time of
his marriage he was a sojourner from St Winnoe. Catherine Hender is also noted to be a
‘sojourner’, meaning not of the parish of St Issey, but as transcribed, it does not state
just where she is a sojourner from. The false ‘presumption’ would be that she was from
Egloshayle, but the correct fact of the matter is that she was of St Veep at the time as
presented in those land records of the National Archives. That is the factual sorting out
point of the matter.
The map at the right is provided
to visually follow Johnson and
Catherine sojourning from St Veep
and St Winnow/Winnoe, which are
next to each other, up to St Issey
to get married there. They pass
through Lanivet and just north
of it where their
marriage related properites in
Burloane are located.

This is Catherine Hender’s baptism record of 18 March 1766. It is NOT her birth record.
That birth would have been at some date prior to 18 Marcy 1766. She was baptized at
Lanivet to John and Mary Hender. Though not here on stated, that Mary would be Mary
Bassett of the St Veep marriage.
Next is the baptism record of Catherine’s father, John Hender Jr., the son of John Hender
Sr. and his wife Joan Badcock. The details of Joan Badcock and John Hender Sr. relationship
are to be found on the Lanivet page and are not a direct relevant element of which
Catherine married Johnson Paynter. What this baptism substantiates is that Catherine’s
father is John Hender of Lanivet, being born/baptized at Lanivet, and that he would be the
said father of Catherine as so stated in the records cited above from the National
Archives.

Now below is a map of such Hender of Lanivet interest. A similar map was used on the
Lanivet page as well. For reference as to where such locations of interest are, they
have been underscored in a bright magenta color. Take some time and study the map. In
doing so a number of place names, such as St Issey, Lanivet, Burlorne, Wadebridge, Burlawn,
Burloane Tregoose and the like will be noted with some further added locations such as
Egloshayle, St Breock, Bodmin and Bodwannick. These are additional names which relate to
the Hender family of Lanivet.
And Here's A Topper
[John Hender's Will and Lands of Burlorne]
So far what has been presented is undisputable evidence from the National Archives that
the dealings in the land of Burlorne, is that by which Johnson Paynter and his wife
Catherine Hender came by from Catherine's father and grandfather, both named John
Hender, and both of Lanivet. And we have reviewed both the false Catherine Hender's family
relevant vital documents, and the 'true' Catherine Hender's relevant vital documents. But
here now is what ought to be the final 'nail in the box'. The will
of John Hender Sr. of Lanivet so states that he is leaving various lands in the village
of Burloane to his four grandchildren, the sons and daughter of John Hender Jr., his son
if whom Thomas and Catherine found in the Nathinal Archives records are the eldest.
A transcription of that will can be found at this link.
Along with that will, and the National Archives records, they answer many questions
concerning this family, such as who was John Hender Sr.'s wife, she being Joan Badcock of
St. Breock. It is good reading as further additional evidence, which should put this all
away and for sure without question. Also the Lanivet web page
concerning this family is good reading for finding more details concerning the Hender
family of Lanivet and there are further links to further information to be found there as
well.
