Pattemores in Merriott – 17th & 18th Centuries

17th Century      18th Century

Earliest Mentions in the Parish Records

The first Pattemore family to appear in the Merriott records was that of Aaron & Mary in the late 17th century.   If anyone knows where Aaron & Mary came from, there are numerous Pattemore researchers who would love to know! 

NEW INFORMATION!!!!

Diane Ellisor has transcribed mentions of Pattemores in the records of Haselbury Plucknett which pre-date those of Merriott.    Have a look at this page.   While there is nothing so certain as a marriage between an Aaron & a Mary, nor a baptism of an Aaron Pattemore, the fact of the burial of one Aaron “Padimore” on 7 October 1769 is of particular interest.  Now all we need to do is link the two Aarons conclusively.   If anyone wants to scour the Haselbury records again, please share anything additional you may find!

 In the early records the name was variously spelt as PADEMORE, PADDEMORE, PATEMORE, PATTEMORE, PADIMORE etc.  For the purposes of clarity I have always used the PATTEMORE spelling in my computer databases, as it is the spelling used by modern day PATTEMOREs around Merriott.  The other present-day spelling of PATTIMORE was used by the Guernsey and some of the Welsh emigrants.

 MARRIAGES

15th or 18th January 1698 Honnor Pattemore (Spelt Padimore) m  Richard Balsh or Calsh or Caleh

One could speculate that Honnor was a sister of Aaron.  No record of marriage of Aaron to Mary has been found; whether Mary was a local girl or arrived with Aaron is something we may never know.  Perhaps the family had been there a while before 1689, although there is no record of any burials for older members of the family such as the parents of Aaron. 

The onlyother parish record entry for an unexplained PATTEMORE in the early days was the following:

Baptism 6 March 1719 Joan, of Nicholas & Susanna PATTEMORE.

So far the only other large group of Pattemores we have found that we cannot connect back to Aaron & Mary in Merriott were a family in London in the early 1800s.   These Pattemores were actually misspelt PATMOREs from Much Hadham in Hertfordshire.   I had thought that perhaps our Pattemores were also misspelt PATMOREs from the same area.  I even found an Aaron & Mary PATMORE, but unfortunately they were also baptising children in Herts during the same period as our Aaron & Mary.  Also, the great distance between Hertfordshire and Somerset would be a negative against this theory.

So, at the moment, the origins of Aaron & Mary are still not certain. Any ideas welcome!               

Wherever they came from, the family of Aaron & Mary flourished in Merriott  to become the fourth most common surname in Merriott by the time of the 19th century censuses, accounting fpr just over 6% of the population. 

The Somerset Record Office holds the following:
Q/SR/303/14:  Informations.   Evidence given by John Baker of Kingsbury Episcopi, yeoman, and Michael Paddimore, of Merriott, husbandman, in a case concerning the alleged theft of a considerable quantity of slow coal from Baker by John Podger of Kingsbury Episcopi.   Refers also to Mrs Gibbs at Thorney in Kingsbury Episcopi and William Staple of Merriott.
JP:  William Speke.  Dated 24 January 1729/30.
