Richard, the son of Nicholas GARNER, was baptized on 14 Mar 1704 in Burbage.
Richard GARNER, yeoman of Burbage, married Hannah LOW of nearby Aston Flamville in 1725. They baptized two children, Richard and Mary, in Burbage before Hannah died in April 1729.
Richard was re-married to Mary BAKER in Hinckley in 1732, and, with Mary, had three children baptized in the Presbyterian chapel in Hinckley. Their youngest child, John, died after 6 weeks, and his mother died 9 days later.
In September 1740 Richard married Elizabeth SNOW. It's possible that this was a marriage of convenience as they baptized a son Robert in the following January. Another son, John, was baptized in December of that year.
Elizabeth must have died sometime before 1746 when Richard and Martha GARNER baptized a daughter Sarah. No record of Elizabeth's death, or of the marriage with Martha, has been found.
Richard lived into his 80s. His last will and testament made th following provisions:
- All his copyhold buildings in Burbage in his own occupation, and his land in the open and common fields of Burbage and in the inclosure of Burbage in the occupation of Richard WARNER, Thomas NEAL, Abraham HARRIS and himself, and all his estate and effects whatsoever were given to his friend Samuel QUENIBOROUGH on trust that he would dispose of the assets as follows
- £30 apiece to sons Robert and John GARNER
- £30 apiece to daughters Elizabeth DAWSON and Sarah BUSWEL
- the remainder to go to son Richard GARNER
These bequests confirm that all four of Richard's marriages were his, as one child from each marriage survived to appear in his will. The oddity is that Mary, born 1733/34, does not appear in his will. She had married James ESTLIN when aged just 17 but presumably that would have had to be with Richard's blessing.
Richard Garner senior died on 9 May 1792 and was buried in Burbage.
