HENDER AND PETER FAMILIES


Here we will first present the Thomas Hender of Altarnun and Sarah Adams family from whom the Hender sons and daughter descend who married into two Peter families. Though this is a duplicate effort with that of the 'Hender Cousin' pages, it is felt that it is important effort to address the Hender-Peter family marriages and ties on a separate page of their own also. Thus from the Hender Cousin pages is transfered the simple pedigree of the Thomas and Sarah family and their 7 children.
 

                John Hender  =  Grace Luskey(Liskey)            John Adams  =  Sarah Bath(2nd wife)

 * This is Jenny Peter the daughter of John Peter and Elizabeth Marten christened 26 December 1796
   at North Hill.
** Thomas Hender on 1881 Census, Laira, Devon as Toll Collector age 62 with
   family and grandchildren etc. See Altarnun subdirectory.
^^ This is Jenny Peter, sister of the Peter brothers? who married Mary and Grace Hender, sisters
   of John Hender. At ages of 54/55 and 43 respectively, John and Jenny appear to have had no
   offspring. Jenny was christened 13 March 1798 at North Hill, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth
   Peter of Illand. This Jenny had first married Edward Garland and secondly married John Hender.

Now, looking at the Hender and Peter family marriages and looking at the Visitations of Cornwall text on pages 608 and 609, it presents the Peter Family of Launceston pedigree, which on page 609 shows two marriages between the Hender family of Thomas Hender and the Peter family of John Peter and Elizabeth Turner. I'll begin with an extracted family pedigree from that portion in red of the pedigree which sets out the family of John Peter and Elizabeth Turner and then I will build from there into the marriages of that family with the Hender family of Thomas Hender and Sarah Adams of Altarnun.

Peter Family of Richard Peter and Elizabeth Turner
of East Illand in Northhill


Richard Peter is the son of Richard Peter and Susanna Daw/Dawe. Elizabeth Turner is the daughter of Edmund Turner and his wife Margery. Perhaps Margery is Margaret Cundy who married 2 Jan 1740, Trewen to Edmund Turner?
Note: What is in RED is information which the Visitations of Cornwall had in it for the related
information here from the pedigree of the Peter Family of Launcestorn on pages 608 and 609.
What is in BLACK come from other sources such as parish records and such other items that may
apply such as wills, census records and so forth.

* Here is an example that can be learned from. Some 'new-age' genealogist consider that with the use of the world's fastest idiot (the computer) they are going to out perform and show up the age old records of long developed pedigrees. And if they let the 'idiot' rule they are just going to make one great big mess of things. Notice the care with which this Visitation Pedigree has been produced. They've gone out and gotten actual birth dates and actual death dates. No just substituting the baptism date for the death date here. Each of the birth dates and death dates provided are just that and when the parish dates of baptism and burial are inserted next to them a story is to be told of time lapses. Often a burial is done within days of the death. Richard Hender died 30 January 1823 and was buried five days later on 3 February 1823. Note also how the birth dates differ from the baptism dates and how it varies as to how long before the baptism the birth actual comes. It can be days, weeks, months and in belated baptism, it can be years. Babtism dates came be indications of birth and when interpreted in a set of family events their sequence can even suggest near times of birth, but they are not reliable just in and of themselves and they are not the actual birth dates. Rarely do you see them rushing the baby from the birth canal to the baptism sprinkling. Presumptions of convienent but wrong fits do easily lead one astray. John Hender died 4 June 1846 and was buried four days later in Liskeard. If you didn't know the family history that in the later years they had seemed to retire to Liskeard you might miss the burial in Liskeard as John's. But the age at death helps to assure that it is him, though it is not a perfect indicator, and so can the space of time from actual death to time of burial. Here the real value of the actual death date came be seen as it is just the time span expected between death and burial—just a few days. They don't always die where you may expect them to die. Look at Edmund who died in London. It would help to know more of his history but I'd trust the care of the human prepared pedigree over the world's fastest idiot's best fit here.

NOTE: What about Peter and Peters? My last name is Hender. A number of times in my life someone has tried to make the surname Henders or Hinder or some other such thing. Just because a clerk writes it down some such way, doesn't make it so. My name is NOT 'Donald' either. I'm 'D O N' - Don, that's it! Often the 'old writers' would add a little curly at the end of words that would look to an 'e' or an 's'. They weren't. They were just a little curly added by the writer with his ink pen. Even it the clerk did make a Peter into a Peters, that doesn't mean they are. Some of the old parish clerks even would 'like' to differintiate a name by a diferent spelling. But that really didn't work too well. It was still confusing and they'd get confused as to who was who and what was what anyway. And even some of your even older clergy clerks would try to Latinize your name until you would not even recognize it yourself even if you could read. Have you ever seen an 'H' made into something like as swirly straight back sit down chair? I have. If you are not aware that it is one of the older forms of writing a 'capital' H, you'll not even be able to recognize your own name. Then there are such things as a double 's' where one is tall and the other is small, but its just 's' after all. And what do you think of the double 'f' as 'ffoote' for 'foot'? They do it. Even modern writers and transcribers foul things up, like the US Census where the name 'Hender' ended up as Hensler because of what the transriber 'thought' he saw in the name. With my name being 'Hender' I still just cannot see how he ever got 'Hensler' out of it. And Brit Census takers weren't any better - 'Henden' out of the old fasion 'r' readers and transcribers to boot.

Family of Richard Peter and 3GU Grace Hender


   Grace Hender is my 4th great aunt, the daughter of Thomas Hender of Altarnun and his wife Sarah Adams. Thomas Hender and Sarah Adams are my 4th great grandparents. Thus this is a family of my 4gu and the Peter children of this marriage are my distant related cousins. I'll first set out a simple pedigree form for this family followed by such documentation as will further identify them and establish them as to who they are and such as what I know of them. The parents married at Altarnun which is customary to so marry at the wife's home parish. The thence moved to and lived in the parish of Callington. Since the Callington parish register was belatedly released, the OPC Cornwall parish register database does not currently have many of the Callington entries. You can fine many of the Callington Parish Registry entries as shared by the 'Callington Heritage Centre' online. Such Peter family related entries as I can determine from that source I have supplied in a table below which is the manner in which the Callington Heritage Centre has chosen to share them in.

Also once living there in Callington was Grace's brother William Hender, watch and clockmaker and his family, now retired to Venterdon in Stoke Climsland. Further currently still in Callington is Grace Peter nee Hender's and William Hender's second cousin William Bury Hender MD and his father William Hender Surgeon. Grace's and William father, Thomas Hender and William Hender, Surgeon, Gentlemen, Esq. would be first cousins. Thomas' father was John Hender whose wife was Grace Luskey was the brother of William Hender who married Annabella Edgcombe. William Hender, Surgeon was their son and thus Thomas Hender who married Sarah Adams and William Hender, Surgeon who married Elizabeth Bury were first cousins, each of their fathers, Thomas and William, being brothers, sons of John Hender and Grace Luskey. So Callington was a place which had family relations all about the town from the early to mid 1800s.

'How Now Brown Cow**'
The 'general rule' and presumption is that if there is a 'Jr' then there 'must' be a 'Sr'. And that 'dog's tail wags the dog'. Science protects it 'Holy Cow' theories by calling such one time occurrances 'anomolies'. That is, an 'anomoly' DOES NOT always prove something to be the fact of the matter. In genealogy a one time calling a person 'Jr' DOES NOT always mean that person's father has to be a 'Sr' of the same name. Clergy clerks do use such differintiations to keep people straight, say there is an older and young person/family under the same name, sometimes an uncle, sometimes not even closely related. Such clergy clerk and others also move about and bring with them a distinction used in another area which in truth does not apply to the next area. Looking at all seven of then children's baptism records is needed to comfirm or refute such 'one time' anomoly along with looking at all other evidence. Here in true stands a real anomoly of the 'Jr' John Hender whose father is Richard Hender and for 'some other' reason a single parish record for whatever reason has come to be transcribe with a 'Jr' attached to his name. Here there is the case of another separate John Hender whose wife is also named Mary who does also have children—particularly a son named John which seems to have influenced a 'rotating' clergy record (see the Altarnun John Peter).

* Where does the name Hender come from? I have seen Elizabeth Marten's name sometimes given as 
Elizabeth Hender Marten. This is because her mother was Elizabeth Hender of North Hill, of the 
North Hill Hender family. Elizabeth Marten is the daughter of John Marten and Elizabeth Hender.
This Elizabeth Hender is the daughter of Thomas Hender and Joan Reed. So some of the Peter
children of John Peter and Elizabeth [Hender] Marten were given the name Hender as their middle
names because grandma Marten was a daughter of the Hender family of Thomas Hender and Joan Reed.

Since there are no known children and thus now cousins here, the story line becomes an effort to follow the lives of John Hender and Jenny/Jane Peter born 1798. And one avenue to do this is to identify her and John Hender on each of the decade spaced.

This 1861 Census puts a number of families together. Samuel Peter, Uncle, unmarried, age
76 is Samuel Peter the son of Richard and Elizabeth Peter of North Hill (Illand). Mary
Dennis is Mary Peter daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Peter of North Hill (Illand). She
is the Mother in law of John Strout head of house and mother of Mary Strout nee
Dennis whose mother Mary Peter married Thomas Dennis. And this Mary Dennis nee Peter is
the sister of Samuel Peter. And Jane Hender is actually Jenny Hender (Jane for Jenny —
nicknames), the wife of John Hender the son of Thomas Hender and Sarah Adams. And which
Jenny/Jane Hender nee Peter is the sister of Mary or both Samuel Peter and Mary Dennis
nee Peter, the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Peter of North Hill. I would also suggest
that the 'difference' in Jane/Jenny's age, though not significant' may be to the fact that
sisters Mary and Jenny Peter may have always thought of themselves as 10 years apart and
if Mary was 71, then Jenny was 61 in family group reporting.

* Thomas Hender (III) is reported to have been married to Mary Tinney of St Gennys, Cornwall at
  Launceston Dist?

** William Hender, son of Thomas Hender and Jenny Peter, was born in the month of March 1822. He was then christened/baptized on 6 April 1822. And he then died an infant death in May 1822 at the age of 2 months and was buried at Altarnun 11 May 1822. The fact of the matter are there to be seen in the Altarnun Parish Register. (See also further below as note continues there)

A Census Study of Hender and Peter Families
~ Accounting for the Hender Family of Thomas and Jenny ~


I will explain it, then I will show it and then I will summarize and explain it again:
Left living at Tregrenna in Altarnun are the oldest son and the two other surviving middle daughters of Thomas Hender, and Jenny Peter, namely: Thomas Hender [III]-the eldest, and Elizabeth and Jane Hender the two surviving in-between daughters of Thomas Hender and Jenny Peter. As for mom, dad and the eldest daughter, a spinster?, they are living in the Hamlet called Plushabridge, which is accounted as being a part of the parish of Linkin[g]horne. William Hender, the other son is dead. It is he who was deceased as a 2 month old infant. But there are those who do not pick that up so they make another William Hender who just nicely fits as a resurrected William Hender, who is becoming a Saddler in North Hill where the Peter families do dwell. But he is not this 'born-again' William Hender. He is actually 'brother's or uncle's' son, (as one's perspective might be) William Worth Hender who is with 'his' Peter family's Samuel Peter, the confirmed bachelor son of Richard Peter and Elizabeth Turner—the OTHER Peter cousin's family - more later. As for the youngest daughter, Mary Hender, she seems to be across 'town/parish' working as 14 year old 'female house servant' for the Brighton family of Oakley Brighton the Game Keeper. He and his wife have 4 young children who Mary likely helps to care for.

Now in Pink highlight are such members of the Peter family associated with Thomas Hender and his wife Jenny. There at Illand is brother Robert Peter, his wife Elizabeth Stevens and their 4 children. Also basically next door is father or 'Grandpa' John Peter, brother Samuel Peter and his wife Susanna, and their son John Peter born in 1820. And there looks to be a granddaughter/neice, one year old Jane West.

Though both of the Peter families are of North Hill. Those who I've copied here seem to be one sidely of the family of Jenny Peter born 1796 who married Thomas Hender, the in-law Peters of Thomas and family and siblings of Jenny Peter of 1796. That is except for William Worth Hender and his uncle inlaw Samuel Peter of the other Peter family who three Hender children married into. Back in Callington, where William Worth Hender and his siblings were born and raised, there is to be found the Peter family of Richard Peter and Mary Hender. Mary Peter nee Hender is the sister of William Hender the clockmaker and aunt to William Worth Hender. Bachelor Samuel Peter is the brother of Richard Peter, Mary's husband and he would be her brother-in-law and William Worth Hender's Uncle in law. All are related in some manner, but for sure William Hender the apprentice saddler is the son of William Hender the clockmaker and my 3ggf and William Worth Hender is therefore my 3gu as well. I suppose that makes of the Peter families my distance inlaws as well.

Why am I so sure that William Worth Hender is this William Hender, will I have the family will of William Hender clockmaker naming William Worth Hender as his son and I have Elizabeth Ann Hender's birth cirtificate and wedding record which also lists William Worth Hender as her father. So I know he is not the dead William Hender, son of Thomas and Jenny Hender. And I know that HE IS the son of William Hender and Elizabeth Rowe and HE IS the father Elizabeth Ann Hender who married John Henry Bennetts. The evidence stacks up both ways-IS and ISN'T.

Since the Thomas Hender (jr) and Jenny Peter family began after their marriage of 1817,
beginning with the 1841 census we are dealing with nearly adult children. Here in Altarnun
on the family property (Tregrenna/Tregenna) is found Thomas Hender (III), and his sisters
Elizabeth and Jane likely running the 'homestead' so to speak. Due to the 1841 Census
rounding rule the ages are not accurately given. Thomas born 1819 would be 22 not the
rounded down 20. Elizabeth would be about age 18 not the rounded down 15 and Jane would be
about 16 rather than the rounded down 15. The parents, Thomas Hender (jr) and Jenny Hender
nee Peter, are living and locted elsewhere next given:

NOTE: ****A prime example of jumping to the 'easy first fit' while ignoring the realities of a matter is to be seen here in the case of William Hender son of Thomas Hender and Jenny Peter and William Worth Hender (the son of William Hender, watch and clockmaker and his wife Elizabeth Rowe) which William Worth Hender lives to become a Saddler and marry Elizabeth Tresize/Trezise. They have a daughter named Elizabeth Ann Hender who marries John Henry Bennetts. It really brakes down by NOT being clever enough to check and associate the burial records of Alternun. William Hender, son of Thomas Hender and Jenny Peter, was born in March, baptized in April and died in May and he was buried on the 11 May 1822 at age 2 months.

* One additional fact, beyond the most obvious one of the death of the 2 month old William Hender of Altarnun, is that this Samuel Peter age 55, is the confirmed bachelor son of Richard Peter and Elizabeth Turner. ANOTHER Samuel Peter is that of John Peter and Elizabeth Marten, and they who's daughter Jenny Peter (1796) married Thomas Hender. The daughter of Richard Peter and Elizabeth Turner, married into the same Hender family to John Hender and thus they are closely related but not the same.
