Hoare Genealogy 06: The Hore/Hoar/Hoare families of East Devon and Dorset.

By David G Hoare.

Created: December 2014; last updated: 26 July 2017

In this paper I explore in more detail the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families which descended from the coastal growth points in the early 1500s which I identified in East Devon and Dorset in the introductory paper in this series, ‘Hoare Genealogy 03’ (Hoare, 2014a). Here, I am concerned particularly with the origins of each family, how in subsequent generations each family multiplied and radiated outwards and, after the advent of census records from 1841, their occupations. The genealogy in this area is much enhanced by the careful research reported by Lyon J Hoard (1987) into the origins near Axminster of the Hoar family of Massachusetts, USA and by the Hoare pedigree provided by David Weatherill (2000) originating with William Hoare (b.1721) around Canford Magna and Hampreston (5 km E of Wimborne Minster and 10 km N or Poole).

Table 1, taken from table 2 in Hoare (2014a) lists the three growth points with the number of their descendants.

1. Introduction.

The three Hore/Hoar/Hoare growth points considered in this paper are, like those in Cornwall and North Devon (Hoare, 2014c), more widely spaced than the 10‑15 km spacing between the Hore/Hoar/Hoare growth points along the Plymouth to Exeter road considered in ‘Hoare Genealogy 04’ (Hoare, 2014b). This once again raises the question whether migrations of around 50 km by road, or greater distances by coastal shipping, may also provide a mechanism by which these growth points may share a common ancestor.

The migrations involved in the growth and outward radiation are explored in detail in this paper for which I have provided a map (‘Atlas Dorset’) on which the relevant towns and villages can be located, and which is marked in National Grid 10 km squares allowing easy estimation of distances. The information on towns and villages is usually taken from the GENUKI Genealogy UK and Ireland website (genuki.org.uk) which draws on sources such as Lewis (1849) and White (1850). The population figures and information on local industries, etc refers to the early to mid 1800s. The information on the occupations of members of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families is drawn from the census returns from 1841. The genealogies arising from each Hore/Hoar/Hoare growth point are descendant charts generated by the Pedigree programme (e.g. ‘Genealogy Axminster’) in which the vertical lines linking together the members of each successive generation are marked with the number of the generation to make the charts easier to follow. Use the search facilities provided by your web browser to navigate in the genealogies by locating any word, etc such as a name (e.g. ‘George William’), an occupation (e.g. ‘baker’), a place (e.g. ‘23 Front Street’) or a date (e.g. ‘23Aug1765’). As the Axminster genealogy is exceptionally large, it has been printed in three sections. The first ‘Genealogy Axminster’ originates with Thomas Hore (b.c.1482, of Axminster), the second ‘Genealogy Axminster2’ starts with Abraham Hore (b.1650 in Musbury) and the third ‘Genealogy Axminster3’ with Abraham’s elder brother Daniel Hore (b.1635 in Musbury).

The geographical spread of the larger Hore/Hoar/Hoare families are shown very approximately in maps (e.g. ‘Map families Axminster’) which show a set of three nested areas into which the family had spread from its origin in the periods 1538-1600, 1538-1700 and 1538-1800 with relevant towns and villages identified.

These practical matters are explained more fully in the ‘Introduction’ section of ‘Hoare Genealogy 04’ (Hoare, 2014b).

1.1. Relating this research to the H600 Project.

The H600 Project lists four family branches in the East Devon and Dorset area. Three (B01, B08 and B11) form the active ‘B10 Hores of the Jurassic Coast’ group and the fourth (K05) is listed as a ‘historic’ branch without a current identified researcher. Of these, only the family branch B01 has so far yielded substantial Y-DNA SNP results and these place it in haplogroup R1b‑P312-U152 which is parallel to haplogroup R1b‑U106 (cf B02 family branch in Cornwall) but diverged from this haplogroup around 4500 years ago. The B08 and B11 families are strongly linked to the B01 family by Y‑DNA STR matching.

The B01 family branch (Hezekiah Hore, b.1608, Sidmouth, Devon) matches the Hoare of Axminster family in this paper (see below), and careful research has traced this branch back to an earliest known ancestor, Thomas Hore (b.c.1482, d.1538) of Axminster, Devon. Hezekiah Hore emigrated to the American colonies in 1633 where he has many descendants.

The B08 family branch (Francis Hoare, b.1653 in Dorset, m.Elizabeth Samas in Burton Bradstock in 1673 and d.1721 in Beaminster, Dorset) emigrated to the USA from Gloucester in the 1850s. The defining ancestor, Francis Hoare, does not appear in the Hoare of Axminster genealogy in this paper, but he could plausibly have been an unrecorded son of Christopher Hore (b.1623 in Bridport, Dorset) or of Josias Hore (b.1623 in Bridport, Dorset), which would be consistent with his marrying Elizabeth Samas at Burton Bradstock (4 km SE of Bridport) and dying in Beaminster (9 km N of Bridport). The most recent common ancestor of Hezekiah Hoare with Christopher or Josias Hore is Thomas Hore (b.c.1482) of Axminster, the g²-grandfather of Hezekiah. More genealogical reseach is required to confirm (or refute) this plausible link.

The B11 family branch (William Hoare b.1781 in Combpyne, Devon -> Lewis Hoare -> Joseph Hoare -> James Hoare) emigrated to the USA relatively recently. The defining ancestor, William Hoare (b.1781), appears in the Hoare of Axminster genealogy in this paper with matching descendants Lewis, Joseph and James and whose most recent common ancestor with Hezekiah Hoare was Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509, d.1569), the g‑grandfather of Hezekiah. A more detailed comparison with the B11 family tree would help to confirm this relationship.

The K05 family branch (William Hoare b.1721 in Canford Magna, Dorset) is a substantial family researched by a current descendant, David Weatherill, for which there are no DNA results. It is embedded in the Hoare of Axminster genealogy in this paper. The most recent common ancestor shared by Hezekiah Hoare and the defining ancestor (William Hoare b.1721) is Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509, d.1569), the g‑grandfather of Hezekiah. However, the genealogy postulates that William (and three brothers) were born in a Hoare family in Beaminster in western Dorset and migrated 30‑60 km eastward to Tolpuddle and Canford Magna in eastern Dorset. Further genealogical or DNA evidence to support this speculative origin and migration would be most valuable.

2. The growth and radiation of families from the growth points.

2.1. Axminster.

Axminster is a small market town (pop.2860) on the east bank of the River Axe and about 9 km from its estuary. Careful research work reported by Lyon J Hoard (Hoard, 1987) into “The English Ancestry of Hezekiah Hoar of Taunton, Massachusetts” focussed before about 1620 revealed that the earliest records in this region of the Hore family (in 1512) were of Thomas Hore (b.c.1482) in the Newenham Abbey estate south of Axminster. Hoard states that “exhaustive research has shown that Thomas was the first of the surname in the Axminster area, and that all the later Hore families found in the region during the period of interest were his descendants.”

Jose J Hoard (Hoard, 2000) has subsequently published ‘The Recorded Lineage of Hezekiah Hore’) showing Thomas Hore (1480-1538) as a younger son of Robert Hore of Rushford/Risford who moved to Axminster and founded the Hore of Axminster family from which Hezekiah Hoare emigrated to America. Unfortunately, the evidence is not cited for this interesting proposal linking the Hore family of Axminster back into the ancient Hore family of Rushford/Risford.

Thomas Hore’s family (cf ‘Genealogy Axminster’, ‘Map families Axminster’) comprised two daughters , Edith (b.c.1511) and Alice (b.c.1513), and several sons,

(1) John Hore ‘senior’ of Axmouth and Willands (b.c.1505) whose descendants recorded nine Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1578,

(2) Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509) whose descendants recorded 2018 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings in England (i.e. not including American descendants via Hezekiah Hore) (34 in the 1500s; 95 in the 1600s; 421 in the 1700s; 1355 in the 1800s; 117 in the 1900s up to 1911), the last in 1911,

(3) John Hore ‘junior’ of Axminster (b.c.1515) whose descendants recorded two Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1557,

(4) and, probably, Harry Hore of Colyton (b.c 1514) whose descendants recorded 373 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings, the last in 1911. Harry does not appear in Hoard’s genealogy but can be reasonably accommodated within it as an unrecorded younger son of Thomas Hore (b.c.1482).

Musbury is a village (pop.495) 5 km SW of Axminster. The parish records (from 1613) record a substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare community numbering 270 births/christenings between 1623 and 1901, all but one descendants of four fathers. The first father, Daniel Hore, can reasonably be identified in Hoard’s genealogy as Daniel, the great grandson of Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509) via Henry Hore (b.1534) and Richard Hore (b.1569). The other three fathers, Constantine, Abraham and Richard Hore, do not appear in Hoard’s genealogy but can be reasonably linked in also as great grandsons of Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509) via George Hore (b.1544) and his children ‘mentioned but not named’ in their uncle Roger Hore’s will.

Colyton is a small market town (pop.2451), 7 km southwest of Axminster and 4 km from the sea on the western side of the small river Coly which flows into the river Axe. It had a paper mill, a tannery, a brewery, a small foundry, and three corn mills, and formerly a share of the woollen manufacture (in 1841). When the parish registers began in 1538, they record the marriage in 1539 of Harry Hoore (b.c.1514) to Agnes Connante. The parish records record a substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare community at Colyton numbering 204 births/christenings between 1541 and 1899, of whom 34 were descendants of Harry Hoare and most of the remainder were descendants of Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509). I have assumed that Harry Hore is an unrecorded younger son of Thomas Hore (b.c.1482) (see above).

A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare community also developed in Axminster, with the records showing 165 Hore/Hoar/Hoare birth/christenings from 1579 to 1901, of whom 137 were descendants of Richard Hore of Musbury (b.bef.1509) and 22 from Harry Hore of Colyton (b.c.1514).

Axminster, Musbury and Colyton are respectively 10, 7 and 5 km NNE of the large fishing village of Beer (pop.1231) which could well have linked the local Hore/Hoar/Hoare family via coastal shipping to other Hore/Hoar/Hoare coastal growth points at Exeter, Landulph and St Austell.

During the 1500s the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family radiated outwards to Sidmouth (pop.3309; on the coast 20 km SW of Axminster) where Hezekiah Hore was born in 1608 and subsequently emigrated to the American colonies in 1633 founding the Hoar family of Massachusetts. The family also migrated to Widworth (pop.257; 10 km W of Axminster and 5 km SE of Honiton, not shown on the atlas) and Offwell (pop.438; 11 km W of Axminster and 2 km E of Honiton), to Combepyne (pop.143; 7 km S of Axminster, not shown in atlas; Hoard (1987) mentions that Henry Hore (b.c.1534) and his family held lands and were resident at Combepyne from 1566), and to Kilmington (pop.495; 2 km W of Axminster).

During the 1600s this radiation continued to include a further 10 parishes in an area bounded eastward by Beaminster (19 km E of Axminster) and Bridport (18 km ESE of Axminster) in Dorset, westward to Crediton (12 km NW of Exeter) and northward to Membury (5 km N of Axminster).

The Hore/Hoar/Hoare family settled at the market town and seaport of Bridport (pop.4787; 18 km ESE of Axminster and 9 km S of Beaminster) when Henry Hore (b.1588 in Colyton) and his brother Christopher Hore (b.c.1598) moved from Colyton in the early 1620s. Although each brother had a son, Josias and Christopher, respectively, neither recorded further Hore/Hoar/Hoare christenings. However, the family was renewed at Bridport in the 1700s when Francis Hore moved from Musbury (see below).

A Hore/Hoar/Hoare family was also established at the rural parish of Membury (pop.886), when Barnard Hore (b.c.1617) and his wife Alice moved from Sidmouth in the early 1640s. The family recorded 35 births/christenings in Membury, the last in 1897, all descended from the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family.

A substantial Hore/Hoar/Hoare community was established at Beaminster (18 km E of Axminster) in Dorset when three brothers, Richard Hore (b.1637 in Musbury), John Hore (b.1643 in Musbury) and Abraham Hore (b.1650 in Musbury) moved to Beaminster from Musbury around 1670. 157 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were recorded in Beaminster, the last in 1906 and all descended from the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family. (Note that the descendants of Abraham Hore (b.1650) are included in ‘Genealogy Axminster2’ and those of his elder brother Daniel (b.1635), who stayed in Musbury, are included in ‘Genealogy Axminster3’). Beaminster was a small market town (pop.2806) with three water mills for the spinning linen yarn employed in the manufacture of sail cloth, which was carried on to a small extent.

During the 1700s, the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family radiated to a further 14 parishes in an area enlarged to Tiverton (38 km WNW of Axminster) and probably eastward to Tolpuddle (pop.288; 33 km E of Beaminster and 11 km ENE of Dorchester) and beyond which is discussed below.

The Hore/Hoar/Hoare family was renewed at Bridport (18 km ESE of Axminster, see above) and a substantial community started when Francis Hore (b.c.1711) moved from Musbury to Bridport to marry Mary Medway in 1735 and bring up his family. 84 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings were subsequently recorded at Bridport, the last in 1904.

The Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family may well have migrated further east when three brothers, Edward Hoare (b.c.1714) and his wife Sarah, Joseph Hoare (b.c.1719) and his wife Elizabeth, and John Hoare (b.c.1721) and his wife Jane moved from Beaminster in the mid‑1740s to Tolpuddle (pop.288; 33 km E of Beaminster and 11 km ENE of Dorchester), and a fourth brother William Hoare (b.1721) moved 25 km even further east to Canford Magna (pop.3957; 4 km E of Wimborne Minster) - but there is an alternative possibility and this is discussed in the following section on Tolpuddle and Hampreston.

During the 1800s, the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family multiplied and radiated outwards to record Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christening in 65 further parishes. Most of these were within the area occupied in the 1700s but extended in the east and north to Dorchester and Sherborne, and in the west and south to Okehampton and Brixton, but others lay further afield. The present project has not included records from Somerset, and the Axminster family may well have radiated northwards into Somerset in the 1800s.

The census returned from 1841 reveal the Axminster Hore/Hoar/Hoare family engaged in a wide range of occupations. These included an assistant superintendent and an agent of Prudential Life Assurance, an insurance agent, a law clerk, a lodging house keeper and rate collector, a merchant clerk, a mineral water clerk, a parish clerk, a postmaster, a railway clerk, a twine factory manager, two teachers, a United Methodist minister and one living on ‘independent means’. Many worked in a variety of jobs including craftsmen or traders, as army reservist, baker (7), beer house keeper, blacksmith (3), boot and shoe maker (15), brass fitter/founder (2), brewer (2), brick layer, builder (3),brush maker, butcher (4), cab/carriage proprietor (3), cabinet maker (3), carpenter (11), cellarman and maltster (2), chimney sweep, coal merchant, comb maker, cordwainer (10), corporal Royal Marines, cycle repairer, draper (4), engine drive, flax mill worker, grocer (6), harness maker, hemp dresser (3), hemp thread manufacturer, inn keeper (3), iron founder, keeper at a lunatic asylum, licenced hawker in crockery, linotype operator, mason (10), mechanical dentistry, meter maker, miller (3), moulder (2), naval pensioner (2), organist, police constable, print compositor (2), railway engine cleaner, railway navvy (3), railway porter (3), smith, spinning wheel turner (hemp), spooler in factory, tailor (5), tanner (2), twine spinner, upholsterer, wheelwright (4) and whitesmith. Many were engaged in agricultural and rural occupations. There were 21 farmers, some working farms ranging from 8 to 270 acres. Others worked in related occupations as agricultural labourer (91), agricultural carter (11), carter/carrier (2), cattleman (2), coal hauler, carter for Borough Council, dairy man (5), farm bailiff (2), gardener (6), horse man, groom, plough boy, road contractor (2), road foreman for Town Council, sawyer (4) and shepherd (3). Some worked in maritime occupations as coast guard boatman, crab buyer, fish dealer, fish packer, fisherman (4), fishing net braider and trawler man. The women were occupied as cook domestic, needle woman, dairy maid, domestic servant (7), dress maker (14), housekeeper (3), lace maker/mender (23), shoe binder, workhouse, laundress (5), lodging house keeper (2), mill hand, milliner (2), nurse maid, school mistress (4), spinning wheel turner, tailoress and twine factory mill hand/spinner (8). A few did less well as alms person, parish relief (2) or pauper.

2.2. Tolpuddle, Piddletrenthyde, Canford Magna and Hampreston.

Tolpuddle is small village (pop.288), 11 km ENE of Dorchester. The parish register, which starts in 1719, shows no Hore/Hoar/Hoare entries for 25 years until the families of Edward Hoare (b.c.1714) and his wife Sarah, Joseph Hoare (b.c.1719) and his wife Elizabeth, and John Hoar (b.c.1721) and his wife Jane are recorded from the mid‑1740s, so it is likely that these families were incomers to Tolpuddle. In fact, Edward and Sarah Hoare appear to have settled first at Piddletrenthyde (pop.673, 10 km WNW of Tolpuddle) in the mid-1730s and Edward moved to Tolpuddle with his second marriage to Jane (Jenny) Vincent in 1757. The descendants of Edward (b.c.1714), Joseph (b.c.1719) and John (b.c.1721) Hoare subsequently recorded 270 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (51 in the 1700s; 204 in the 1800s; 15 in the 1900s up to 1911).

Canford Magna is a larger village (pop.3957; 25 km E of Tolpuddle and 4 km E of Wimborne Minster) where David Weatherill’s Hoare genealogy (comprising 227 Hoare births/christenings, 1755-1982) commences with the family of William Hoare (b.1721). Taking account of the whole Hore/Hoar/Hoare family in this area into which I have merged David Weatherill’s genealogy, William Hoare’s descendants total 402 Hore/Hoar/Hoare births/christenings (19 in the 1700s; 307 in the 1800s; 78 in the 1900s).

During the 1700s, the families radiated outward to six parishes within a triangular area bounded in the south by Moreton (pop.356; 5 km S of Tolpuddle), in the northwest by Melbury Abbas (pop.288; 25 km WNW of Tolpuddle and 15 km from Piddletrenthyde) and in the east by Hampreston (pop.1608; 27 km E of Tolpuddle and 5 km E of Wimborne Minster). A much larger increase in numbers occurred in the 1800s to a further 50 parishes in an enlarged area bounded in the west by Sherborne, in the north by Shaftesbury, in the east by Bournemouth and on the south by Weymouth and Portland.

I have assumed that Edward, Joseph, John and William Hoare were four brothers who migrated eastward from Beaminster. However, an alternative origin for these families is feasible from the possibly unrelated Hore/Hoar/Hoare community centred on Portsmouth only a day’s sailing (65 km) to the east of Poole. Tolpuddle could be easily reached from the sea, either from Poole (27 km W), or from the ports of Wareham (16 km SE) or Weymouth (20 km SW) and Canford Magna is only 8 km north of Poole. I have for convenience included the genealogies of the Tolpuddle and Canford Magna families as part of the Axminster family in ‘Genealogy Axminster2’.

The census returns from 1841 showed that the Hore/Hoar/Hoare family members were engaged in a wide range of occupations as craftsmen, traders working as baker (2), beer seller, blacksmith (3), bricklayer (15), builder (2), butcher (2), cab driver (2), cabinet maker, carpenter (10), carriage body maker, cordwainer (3), cycle maker, engineer, fish hawker, gas stoker, golf caddy, greengrocer, grocer, house decorator (2), mason (2), motor driver, motor engineer, police constable, railway platelayer (2), railway porter, railway guard, road contractor (4), sailor and shoe maker (2). In the agricultural sphere there was a landowner, ten farmers farming holdings of up to 110 acres, and five market gardeners. Others worked in supporting rural jobs as agricultural labourer (28), carter (5), dairy man, farm labourer (5), gamekeeper (3), gardener (4), milkman, road labourer (5) and woodman. The women worked as agricultural labourer (3), assistant in shop, bookbinder, cook, domestic servant (2), dress maker (4), glove maker (2), house keeper (2), house maid, knitter, lady’s maid, launderess (3), milliner, minister National School, nurse maid, shoe binder and teacher (2).

3. Conclusions.

These results suggest several points of interest and priority.

(1) The genealogy of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare family of Axminster (H600 Project family branch B01). The genealogy of the origin of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare family of Axminster is firmly established the work of Lyon J Hoard and associated with a well established DNA haplogroup (cf sections 1.1 and 2.1 above). Two other H600 Project family branches (B08 and B11) have been shown by DNA results to be closely related to B01, and plausible genealogical links are suggested in this project, but these should be improved by better research, particularly for B08.

(2) The origins of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare family of Axminster (H600 Project family branch B01). The Hore/Hoar/Hoare family of Axminster is close enough to the cluster of Hore/Hoar/Hoare family in south Devon, but overland and by coastal shipping between Axmouth, Exeter and Plymouth, to make is plausible that they may share a relatively recent common ancestor. Jose J Hoard has claimed (cf ‘Hoare Genealogy 02; section 1) that the family are descendants of the Risford family but she has not cited the essential supporting evidence. DNA results for the south Devon families which can be compared with the known DNA haplogroup for the Axminster family would be invaluable.

(3) The origins of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families of Tolpuddle, Piddletrenthyde, Canford Magna and Hampreston in east Dorset (H600 Project family branch K05; cf section 2.2 above). These families are shown in this project as arising by a plausible migration from the Axminster family at Beaminster in the early 1700s. However, these families in east Dorset were not far from access to coastal shipping at Weymouth, Wareham and Poole whence their ancestors might have arrived from Hampshire via Southampton and Portsmouth in the east, or from south Devon via Exeter or Plymouth in the west. No DNA results are yet available for family K05 but there are probably living descendants from whom DNA results would be most valuable.
