The place name given for Juliana Carpenter must be Hatch not far from the
Wellington discussed previously.
"Carpenter Julynen (Juliana Carpenter) of Den Baert (Batts Hatch) acc. by
Alexander Carpenter her father and Elsgen Carpenter (Alice Carpenter) her
sister and Ann Robbissen her acq. betr. 6 July 1612, mar. 22 July 1612, to
Joris Morthen (George Morton) of York in England, Merchant, acc. by Thomas
Morthen his brother and Rogier Wiltzoen (Roger Wilson) his acq. ..."
The manor of Hatch belonged likewise to the Seymours:
"The direct descendants of Roger and Cecily Seymour were Edward Seymour and
his sister, Lady lane, the third wife of Henry VIII. and mother of Fdward
VI. On her marriage to the king, her brother. Edward Seymour, was created
Viscount Beauchamp of Hache. A little earlier in 1531 he had been Sheriff of
Somerset and during this time he probably resided at Hache Court. Later he
was made Earl of Hertford, and Duke of Somerset, and during part 9f the
minority of Edward Vi he virtually ruled England as Lord Protector until
over ambition led to his execution in 1552. However, by this date Hach Court
must have been falling into decay for 81 years later when Thomas Gerard in
1633 wrote his "Description of Somerset" he described Hache in the following
words: "The mansion house in which theis nobleman lived which I went to see
is soe ruined that were it not called Hach Court you would not believe that
it were any of the remaynes of a Barons house. yet I sawe in the Hall
Beauchampes Armes and in a little Chappell on the top of the house Seymer's,
Winges 'Or' in a red shield, and going a little further to the church to see
some monuments I find not one, the church having bin new built long since
the Beauchamps time."
After the death of the Lord Protector the manor of Hatch continued in the
possession of the Seymour family for a further five generations. The
succession was as follows:
Edward, Duke of Somerset, Lord Protector, died 1552."
