Robert Croxford<\/strong> was born about 1642 in Sydenham, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been able to find a baptism for Robert, but online trees have him as the son of John Croxford (1613-1682) and Rachel Towne (1616-1689).<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

St Mary the Virgin, Thame<\/p><\/div>\n

Robert Croxford married Mabel Filbee<\/strong> on 26 March 1668 at St Mary the Virgin in Thame, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

Lewknor is 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Thame in Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

Their marriage record was recorded by Boyd’s Marriage Index as “Robert Croxford married Mary Filbee at Thame”.<\/p>\n

Mabel was born around 1646 in Thame, the daughter of Francis Filbee (1607-1685) and Mabel Weeden (1612-1688).<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been unable to find a baptism record for Mabel.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert and Mabel Croxford had the following nine children which were all baptised at Lewknor, Oxfordshire –<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Robert b 1668, d 1687 Lewknor, marr Mary Churchill, 1 child.<\/li>\n
  2. Mabel b 1670, d 1671 Lewknor<\/li>\n
  3. Ann b 1672, d 1725 Lewknor<\/li>\n
  4. Mabel b 1675, d 1771 Lewknor, marr Andrew Brookes. 6 children.<\/li>\n
  5. John<\/strong> <\/a>b 1677, d 1736 Lewknor, marr Dorothy Weller, 11 children.<\/li>\n
  6. Rachel<\/strong> <\/a>b 1679, d 1713 Lewknor, marr Charles King, 1 child.<\/li>\n

  8. William b 1684, d 1753 Lewknor, marr Ann Daglee, 5 children.<\/li>\n
  9. Richard b 1687, 1687 Lewknor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    St Marys, Lewknor<\/p><\/div>\n

    Mabel Croxford died in June 1687 at Lewknor, and was buried at St Marys, Lewknor on 9 June 1687 aged only 41 years. It appears she may have died as a result of complications after childbirth with her ninth child Richard, as she was buried 7 days after he was.<\/p>\n

    Or perhaps some type of disease, as her 19 year old son Robert died a few months later in December 1687. Mabel’s mother Mabel Filbee died a few months later in 1688. They were all buried “in woollen only, by affidavit”.<\/p>\n

    Robert Croxford, lived for another 36 years in Lewknor, and died at the age of 82 years in March 1724. He was buried at St Marys on 29 March 1724.<\/p>\n

    I haven’t been able to find a will for either Robert or Mabel Croxford.<\/em><\/p>\n
