- The first reference to Barnard that has been found is in the
will of his father, Henry, in 1589. On 4 July 32 Elizabeth
(1590), he became lessee of lands formerly held by his father,
when Sir John Peter [Petre}, knight, leased to Barnarde Hore,
mariner, for the consideration of 330 pounds, one humdred thirty
acres in Combpyne and ten acres in Downhunfraville in Axmouth,
all late in the possession of Henry Hore, deceased father of
Barnarde, to commence from the Feast of the Annunciation (25
March) next. The term was for ninety-nine years of the lives of
Barnarde Hore, William Hore, and Henrie Hore his brothers, the
rent to be 39 shillings 8 pence for lands in Combpyne and 6
shillings and pence for lands in Downhumfraville. Fides Hore
was to occupy certain premises during her widowhood and Barnard
was to live on the premises in Combpyne. The usual reservations
were made to the landlord for such things as timber and hunting
rights. It was signed by Bernar Hoor and witnesses Roger
Blackaller, John Osborne, and Roger Braunch. The terms are
repeated in the Manor surveys made about 1590 and 1612. Three
hundred and thirty pounds was a large sum of money for that
time, and although Petre tenants were allowed deferred or
"estalled" payments, Barnard paid cash in full. Fides Hore as
the widow refused her son Barnard's right to occupy the Combpyne
barton land called Lydeyates, and actually took, him to court
on the matter. It was possibly because ofa this family dispute
that Barnard moved, or returned, to the small port town of
Sidmouth abut twelve miles from Combpyne until after his
mother's death, although this was contrary to the terms of the
Combpyne lease. In 1610 the Petre family gave instructions to
their visiting agent "to see whether Barnarde Hore dwelleth at
Combpyne," but apparently did not actually return until about
1613.
Barnard's first two marriages are recorded at Sidmoutn. The
names of Catherine Wheaton's parents and first husband have not
been found. "Chatherynge wife of Barnarde Horre gentellwoman
was buryed in the sothe elle [of the church at Sidmouth] meare
to the poolle pytte" on 3 December 1603.
The last record of Barnard in the parish of Sidmouth is on 9
October 1613 whe he, with William Pin and William Slade, made
the inventory of the estate of his father-in-law. It was after
his return to Combpyne that Barnard Hore married his third wife,
Mary. Their four children are named in land leases taken out by
Mary after the death of her husband. Barnard Hore died
intestate. Letters of administration were granted to Mary Hore,
relict, 19 June 1634 with a bond of 200 pounds to the Archbishop
of Canterbury by George Hardy, yeoman, and Leonard Hurden of
Axmouth. Witnesses were John Chisway, Thos. (Staward?), Edmund
Aishford (rector of Combpyne), and William Walton (curate of
Seaton). The estate, inventoried 17 June 1634 by George Hardie,
Leonard Hurden, Andrew Pounde, and John Pitts, totaled 176
pounds 2 shillings 10 pence, and included the house in Sidmouth
(probably a lease hold), and a debt of 50 pounds owed by John
Peerce of Sidmouth.
Family leases taken out, renewed, or transferred between the
years 1633 and 1639 make it clear that during 1633 Barnard had
been distributing most of his estate to his heirs, perhaps in
anticipation of death. The inventory of his estate probably
represested but a small part of the family's worth. The money
paid for leases during the period 1633 to 1639 by the widow and
Barnaard's two oldest sons totaled 293 pounds, 6s. 8d., a
sizeable sum.
The first two leases, made the same day and transferring part of
Barnard's land leases to his two oldest sons, Hezekiah's older
hafl-brothers, contain Hezekiah's signatures as witness. On 20
April 1633 Petre family trustees leased to Hasper Hore of
Combpyne, yeoman, for the consideration of 100 marks (equal to
66 pounds, 13s. 4d.), with reversion after the death of his
father Barnard Hore, barton lands in Combpyne for the lives of
Jasper Hore and Helioner his wife, the rent to be 15 shillings
per annum. This was witnessed by Robert Hoore and Ezekias
Hoore.
On 20 April 1633, the Petre family trustees leased to Robert
Hore of Combpyne, yeoman, a lease identical with Jasper's but fo
barton lands in Combpyne and Downhumfraville, Axmouth, for the
terms of life of Robert Hore and Garthured his daughter, rent to
be 7s. 8d.
Witness were Jasper Hore and Ezekias Hoore.
This would have been a logical time for Barnard to have
distributed cash settlements to his other children, and to his
wife and her children. This may very well explain the source of
the funds which enabled Hezekiah to emigrate shortly thereafter
and to buy shares in the future settlement of Taunton, Massachusetts
On 13 July Chas. I (1639) Mary Hore of Conbpyne, in
consideration of 80 pounds, had transferred to her name the
lease of a cottage and fourteen acres and other lands in
Combpyne, now occupied by her in her widowhood, but lately
occupied by her late husband Barnard Hore. The terms were for
the lives of her sons John and Henry Hore. Witnesses were John
Vye and William Barbar. On the same date for the consideration
of 80 pounds, she leased lands in the manor of Downhumfraville,
Axmouth, for the lives of her children Samuel and Dyna.
