Downham Market
Norfolk
England From 'The Chaplin and Skinner Families' December 1902 (pages 2 to 4):
>> The Theodoricks were a Norfolk family of yeomen farmers owning their own freeholds.
In 1750 JOHN THEODORICK of Outwell died. By his will, which he signed on the 18 September 1746, he appointed his loving wife Mary and his son Philip to be his executors.
He was the father of several children; to his granddaughter Mary, the wife of Thomas Johnson of Wisbech, he gave £100, and a similar sum to his granddaughter Elizabeth Thistleton, daughter of Elizabeth Thistleton (widow). He was the owner of many lands and houses at Outwell, which he left to:-
- His son, Philip Theodorick;
- His grandsons, Thomas and John, both sons of Philip Theodorick;
- His grandson Richard, son of his deceased son, John Theodorick.
Of PHILIP THEODORICK not many facts are to be found, but he appears to have performed his duties as an executor of his father's property.
THOMAS THEODORICK, son of the above Philip Theodorick, lived at Downham Market, where he practised as a surgeon. In January, 1763, he married Mary, daughter of Anthony Hingham, of Walsingham, having on the 21st of that month settled various properties on her. The issue of this marriage do not concern this history, and it may therefore be briefly stated that they were:
(1) Mary, born at Thetford, on 9th December, 1764, and afterwards married to Peter Rouse.
(2) Elizabeth, born at Holt, on 6th August, 1766, and married (a) on 27th March, 1792, to Thomas Marcon, of Swafham, who died on 31st August 1806; and (b) in 1809, to Stephen Storey, of Hunworth.
(3) Thomas John Theodorick, born on 1st July, 1767.
(4) Thomas Theodorick, born on 22nd August, 1768, and died on 14th February, 1792.
Mrs. Mary Theodorick died on 30th April, 1769, at half-past one o'clock in ye afternoon, leaving Dr. Theodorick a widower. He was married for a second time on the 1st February, 1770, to Miss Margaret Clarke, daughter of John Clarke, of Edgefield, and Elizabeth his wife. By this marriage he had the following family:
(1) Margaret Clarke, who was born at Holt, on 4th January, 1771, and in the year 1795 married the Rev. Edward Chaplin [of whom hereafter. See page 6.]
(2) Theodosia, born at 5.45pm on the 23rd December, 1771, and died on 20th March, 1773.
(3) Catherine, born on 23rd December, 1771, exactly 15 minutes after her sister Theodosia. On 20th September, 1796, she married Captain John Vale, of Yarmouth, and afterwards of Gorleston, Master Mariner. She became the mother of eight children, whose names it is not material to set out here.
It is a curious coincidence that these three daughters were all born in the year 1771.
The Vale family quarrelled with the Chaplins, and all connection with them has been long since lost.
On 18th February, 1804, Dr Theodorick was for a second time left a widower, for his wife Margaret diedm and on the 21st of that month was buried in "Edgefield Church, near ye north door." She left a considerable amout of property in her will, which she made on the 18th January, 1804, between her two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Clarke Chaplin and Mrs. Catherine Vale. It is not unlikely that the division of this property was the cause of the quarrels.
Mrs. Theodorick's property came to her under the will of her father, John Clarke, and it appears that her mother, Elizabeth Clarke, survived her.
In 1826 Dr. Theodorick died. By his will made on 7 June 1819, he left practically all his property to be equally divided between his two daughters by his second marriage - Mrs Margaret Clarke Chaplin and Mrs Catherine Vale. Presumably he considered that the children by his first marrieage were sufficiently provided for by the settlement then made. In passing it is worth remarking that in his will he expressed a desire to be buried near his wife Margaret.
The marriage of Margaret Clarke Theodorick with the Rev. Edward Chaplin, son of Amos Chaplin, forms the connection between these two families. Both East Anglian and both comfortably established, and though not posessing wealth, having moderate and independent means, and owning a certain amount of property in their native county of Norfolk. <<
