Biography

Mary Jewel married Samuel Worden at St Kew⁠[1] on 18 September 1725 (old style),⁠⁠[2]⁠[3] or 29 September 1725 (new style).

By the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750,⁠[4]⁠[5] which became law on 27 May 1751, Great Britain adopted a calendar identical to the Gregorian calendar. In the 18th century (after 28 February 1700) the old style British calendar and the Gregorian calendar differed by 11 days; the changeover was effected by omitting the days from 3 September to 13 September (inclusive), so that the day after 2 September 1752 (old style) was 14 September 1752 (new style). Furthermore, the new style act made 1 January the first day of the year, rather than 25 March as previously.

Samuel and Mary Worden had four daughters and two sons.

  • Ann, baptized on 20 October 1726 (or 9 October 1726 O.S.);⁠[6]
  • Mary, baptized on 24 May 1728 (or 13 May 1728 O.S.);⁠[7]
  • Samuel, baptized on 11 April 1730 (or 31 March 1730 O.S.);⁠[8]
  • Martha, baptized on 19 March 1732 (or 8 March 1731 O.S.);⁠[9]
  • Grace, baptized on 16 March 1734 (or 5 March 1733 O.S.);⁠[10]
  • John, baptized on 5 March 1737 (or 22 February 1736 O.S.).⁠[11]

Samuel (Mary's husband) was buried at St Kew on 15 April 1771.⁠[12]⁠[13]⁠[14] His will is preserved at Kresen Kernow;⁠[15] it is document AP/W/2800, described as "Will of Samuel Worden, yeoman, of St Kew" and dated 1771.⁠[16] A digitized version can be freely downloaded⁠[17] from the FamilySearch website; for a transcription see Samuel's WikiTree biography.

Since Mary is not mentioned in her husband's will, she surely must have died before him. There is only one St Kew burial that fits: a Mary Worden was buried at St Kew on 15 January 1766.⁠[18]⁠[19]
