[13047] Sibylle's ancestry is from the unverified Parenton Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2011.
[33103] The 1870 federal census at East Eddington, Penobscot Co., ME shows his family - he is a farmer. The 1860 census there states he was b. in Co. Sligo, Ireland, and his wife Ellen was b. in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
[51842] Mary is said to be daughter of Isaac Nash (1763-1852) & Judith Downs (1763-1830; m. before 1783 in Yarmouth, Cumberland Co., ME).
http://www.trytel.com/~tristan/towns/florilegium/lifecycle/lcdth11.html reprints Roger's will and further offers: "The geographical origins of his family are uncertain. According to one tradition he may have come from Hartburn. As he evidently held an estate at Thornton (since a bequest went to someone likely his steward there), his ties to his ancestral home remained strong. But where that home was is not easy to identify. The placename of Thornton is quite common in England, with a particularly large number of villages in Yorkshire bearing the name (most with some qualifier). A second tradition associates him with the Thornton that is near Bradford. There is a Thornton in Northumberland, a few miles southwest of Berwick, which could be a candidate, but one closer to Newcastle is in the North Riding of Yorkshire, just outside Middlesborough; the latter has the attraction of being close to Yarm, which would help explain the bequest to the monastery there.
"Like Hibburn, he was not the first generation of his family to settle in Newcastle; a John Thornton was bailiff there (1382/83), customs collector, and an exporter of cloth and leather, dying in 1394. By that time Roger had already become one of the leading merchants and Leland later described him as the richest merchant ever to live in Newcastle; Roger's wealth is reflected through the large number of bequests he could make without impoverishing his heirs. He is seen exporting wool in 1385, lambskins in 1389, and cloth in 1393. In 1400 he was licenced with partners to buy 2,000 sacks of wool to ship to Flanders, and licences on a similar scale were issued again in 1408 and 1410. At the same time he was diversifying his business by moving into the coal and lead trades, as well as by dealing in iron, woad, madder, and wine. Lead eventually became his chief commodity; in 1401 he negotiated a 12-year lease from the Bishop of Durham of mines that produced lead and silver. This explains the numerous bequests of that material; he had also paid the dowry of his daughter Agnes in gold and lead, when she married the son of Sir John Middleton.
"With the fortune he made from commerce, he was able to invest in real estate; this included manors at Netherwitton, about 20 miles northwest of Newcastle, and (much closer to home) at Byker, the latter later being the source of endowments of his chantry in All Saints and the poor people's hospital, or Maison Dieu, of St. Katherine, a project he had begun in 1402 and, some years after its completion, turned over to the administration of the borough authorities. He also came to hold several other estates, both in Northumberland and County Durham, some of which were received as a reward from the king for his efforts and expenses in defending Newcastle against the rebellious earl of Northumberland in 1405; as well, he leased the manors settled by the Middletons on their young son, when he married the young Agnes Thornton. Roger held extensive property in Newcastle itself, his own residence being in Broad Chare, and in the later part of his life he even bought property in London, including a business office in Sea-coal Lane. Many of the smaller cash bequests (under 100s.) in Roger Thornton's testament may have been to servants, even where this is not specified, who were needed for the upkeep of his household and his properties across the northeast.
"Roger was very active in both local and royal administration. His earliest known position of responsibility was as a borough tax collector in 1385. He served as a bailiff of Newcastle in 1396/97, followed by 9 terms as mayor, the first in 1400/01 and the last in 1425/26. Constable of the Newcastle staple in 1399/1400, he went on to serve briefly as collector of pontage (1406), and more extensively as a customs collector there (1406-13, 1421-25). He had married Agnes Wauton, who bore him seven sons and seven daughters, if we may trust the depiction on the brass covering the couple's tomb, although only two are know to have survived him. His son and heir Roger was, a year before Roger senior's death, betrothed to the daughter of Lord Greystoke; a sizable part of the father's property was settled on the son at that point.
