Thomas Baxter | 1848 | 65 | 1783 | first name on monument | Thomas was born at Rigg Farm on Monkton Moor, the last son of Thomas (1741-1819) and Elizabeth Baxter née Shutt. All the men in the family were lime burners, with a little farming on the side. They moved to South Stainley between 1788 and 1791, and lived there and at Cayton, a 'lost village' within the parish. Thomas junior married twice, and there were two surviving children of the first marriage Ann (Nancy)Whitley, who died in 1814. Many more children were born, the first two girls migrating to London in the late 1830s and early '40s. They were back in Yorkshire by the early '50s. Son Benjamin (1826-1906) moved to London in 1844, and stayed there until 1893. In that year he sailed to Australia to open a wool business with a son-in-law, husband of one the two children who had settled there during the 1870s. Descendants still flourish there, but there are now only two living Baxters - Craig Baxter and his daughter, who shows no signs of marrying. Thomas's youngest son Charles had a daughter whose story I have written. She became the wife of the celebrated Harrogate 'millionaire' Samson Fox. After his death she married, in 1912, the German Consul to Hartlepool. not the best time to do it. They were deported in 1915. Eventually they returned to the U.K., and Annie Louisa was re-naturalized in 1946. She died at Harrogate 10 years later. Benjamin (above) has a grave in Rochester, Victoria, cemetery. |
