Narrative and Notes

Thomas DEWESBERIE was baptized on 15 Oct 1626 in Kimcote by Lorrance (Lawrence) DEWESBERIE.

His first wife was Dorothy, although this is only recorded in the baptismal record of his daughter Elizabeth. Dorothy died in September 1672.

A Thomas DEWSBERRY of Walton married Mary SNELLSON of Bitteswell by license in Dunton Bassett, Leicestershire, on 27 Apr 1674. Thie timing and the license suggest this was his second marriage.

On his will of 1693 he left money to his daughter Mary THORNTON and her children Richard, William, Mary and Martha THORNTON. His grandson Thomas THORNTON received some money and a pair of bellows.

His son Thomas DUSEBERRY was made executor.

His then wife, unnamed, only received the possessions she came with.

His will received probate in 1696.
