For such a brief work there are an inordinate number of people to thank for their assistance. Undoubtedly one of my major motives in putting this together is to say “thanks!”

I am grateful to my parents for all the little tasks they performed and for the research they did while in England.

I thank Beatrice Hasbrouck Wadlin and Lottie Wadlin Maynard for their contribution of stories, photos, and memorabilia that kept me interested and will for years to come.

It was a lucky stroke to find George Knowlton Wadlin jr., who got my research of other Wadlin lines in America off the ground.

It seems there is always someone without whom all would have been for naught, and in this instance it was Iris P. Chapman, “the English Connection”, a family historian who shares a common ancestor.

Introduction

Let me introduce you to a genealogy of the Wadlin family. You’ve probably heard of the Wadlins before (or you might not be reading this), but let this serve as a formal introduction to the family’s history, since to my knowledge this is the first work of it’s kind about a family named Wadlin.

The Wadlins, for our purposes here, are a family originating in the West Country of England (Devonshire and Cornwall).

The family evidently took it’s name from a small, rural parish in Devon which was called at that time (12th century), Wodelonde, meaning simply “Woodland”. In the 13th and 14th centuries we find such as Sir Walter de Wodelond, Peter de la Wodelonde, and Henry de la Wodelonde. Soon the name underwent various changes, as also did the language in general. The following apparently were all variant forms of that simple name: Wodeland, Wadeland, Wadland, Wadlin, Wadling, Wadelton, and Waddleton, though this is hard to understand, at first.

Somehow, the name of that original parish made it through the changes and is now called Woodland. The family name, for the most part, didn’t make it that far, and the origin of the name, as evidenced by some of the variants, was forgotten.

I have theorized that the difference between the spellings of these variants was greater than the difference in the pronunciation used by our predecessors.

After taking their name from the place where they lived, this family in turn gave its name to many places where they later lived as they spread out over Devon and Cornwall. In a history of Kilkhampton Parish, the Wadland Family and Manor House of that parish are mentioned. Wad-land in Liskeard, Cornwall, existed from a time before parish registers began (1538). A few fields bearing the name and a Wadeland Cottage survived there into the late 1800’s. Just north of Plymouth, a Wadlands Manor and Meadows may still be found, named for a family that lived there in the 1600’s. In addition, mention of Wadland Barton and perhaps a dozen places named Wodeland may be found in early records.

More recently, The Wadlin Family spread out (Largely via the Port of Plymouth) to Australia, Canada, Boston, New York, Virginia, Newfoundland, and even London.

This preliminary genealogy only begins to scratch the surface. The final work is so far off that this is a hedge against the possibility that the greater work might never be completed.

It is already several years since Beatrice Wadlin did the initial spadework by putting together a list of descendants, and the research goes on. The compiler hereof would be grateful to receive any information about Wadlins, past or present, relatives or not.

This is primarily my family’s genealogy, but the appendices are full of other Wadlins I haven’t tied in as yet.

Note: For more background on the name see the Wadelton appendix.

The Letter

The following letter first came to my attention in late 1978 when it was in the possession of Beatrice H. Wadlin, widow of John J. F. Wadlin, Jr. (1901-1953). I am now its caretaker. It was written in England more than 130 years ago. The letter served as a spark to inspire me onward in researching the family. Every time I read it, it conveyed a new sense of urgency to me.

There was a story that I heard, partly from Beatrice H. Wadlin, and partly from Charlotte Wadlin Maynard. They looked to Aunt Carrie (Caroline Wadlin Johnson, 1857-1946) as the expert on the origins of the Wadlin family. In her youth, Carrie had apparently expressed an interest in the family’s origins. At her instigation, her father wrote to relatives in England about it. They had a letter from Carrie saying that we were descended from a Quaker farmer living in Wales. There was no mention of the original letter surviving.

When they got out the letter to show it to my father, there was all this other stuff with it, including the original letter. However, Carrie’s letter was the only mention of a Quaker farmer living in Wales. To this day, I have no hint where that came from, and it isn’t true – except that he was a farmer.

The letter may have been overlooked, and possibly forgotten, since it was apparently not used in compiling the family history. We had never heard of St. Germans, the name Waddleton, or of John and Susan. The letter from Matthew Waddleton, dated 1869, has proved to be highly accurate.

The places mentioned in the letter are clustered close to St. Germans Parish in eastern Cornwall. The distances between these places would be measured in furlongs, rather than in miles they are so close together. We are left to speculate as to the circumstances surrounding the letter, regarding what John’s original letter said, and his response to this letter.

Minimal punctuation and capitalization have been added for readability. Almost none was used.

Family

The 13th century font of the Parish Church
at Saint Germans, Cornwall, England.
Several generations herein recorded were baptized from it.

Richard Wadleton

Richard was born about 1725, place unknown at this writing. He married Susannah ? , date and place unknown.

Their children were as follows: Cornwall, England...

baptized — Elizabeth, 12 July 1747, at St. Germans

William, 17 Nov. 1749, at St. Germans

Richard, 23 April 1753, at St. Germans

Ann, 27 Dec. 1756, at Morval

[8]Susannah, 23 Sept. 1763, St. Martin on Looe Bay

Richard was buried at Saint Germans on 2 July 1775, at which time his age was noted as 50 years. His wife, Susannah, was buried at Morval Parish on 21 Nov. 1770

Elizabeth Wadleton

Baptized the first child of Richard and Susannah on 12 July 1747, at St. Germans Parish, Cornwall, England.

Elizabeth had one child, out of wedlock, baptized at St. Germans:

John, son of Elizabeth Wadalton, a base child, 2 Oct. 1763

It appearing that mother and child might require the support of the church, ( though the name Wadleton cannot be found on any Church Poor Rolls ) the Churchwardens made out a bastardy bond against the father, John Brown, in the amount of 50 Pounds on 4 Nov. 1763. This was probably done because John Brown was preparing to marry Grace Ford, which he did the following day, November 5^th.

The bond specified that the child had been born in the village of Hessenford, in St. Germans, on 10 Sept. 1763.

The lack of a marriage despite the advent of a child may have been due to objections based on Elizabeth’s age, or the father may have made other commitments by the time the pregnancy was revealed.

Elizabeth did not reach a proper marrying age. The following is the record of her burial at St. Germans:

24 March 1766, Elizabeth Wadleton, aged 19 years

John Brown

Baptised the son of John and Elizabeth Brown on 25 March 1747, in Menheniot Parish, Cornwall, England.

He fathered a child out of wedlock, which resulted in a Bastardy Bond being made out against him in the amount of 50 Pounds by the Church of St. Germans, on 4 Nov. 1763. The particulars of the bond stated that John Brown was a husbandman in the Parish of St. Germans and had fathered the child of Elizabeth Waddleton, born in the village of Hessenford on 10 Sep. 1763.

The record of the baptism of that child at St. Germans is as follows:

John, the son of Elizabeth Wadalton, (sic) a base child, 2 Oct.1763.

Though John Brown married Grace Ford at St. Germans on 5 Nov. 1764, the day following the Bastardy Bond, John Waddleton was his only son. The only offspring resulting from the union between John and Grace was a child, Mary, baptised 11 Nov. 1765, but since Mary in turn had no children, the only remaining descendants of John Brown are through his son.

John Brown was buried at St. Germans on 29 May 1796.

John Wadleton

Baptized the base child of Elizabeth on 2 Oct. 1763 at St. Germans Parish, Cornwall, England. He was born on 10 Sep. 1763 at Hessenford Village[9], according to the bastardy bond made out against his father, John Brown. At age "10," (6 May 1773) John was indentured to Wm. Keast of Bake[10] for husbandry to age 24. He married Susannah Hicks just one day short of that age, on 9 Sep. 1787 at St. Germans Parish. (Occupation noted: husbandman)

Susannah was baptized daughter of Matthew Hicks and Rachel (nee) Bunny on 11 Jan. 1764 at Morval Parish, which borders St. Germans on the west. Their children, all baptized at St. Germans were as follows:

Baptized - John (Waddling written over Wadleton) 28 Jan. 1788
William (Wadling) 18 Feb. 1790

Joseph (Wadling) 8 April 1792

Ferdinando (Wadleton) 23 Sep. 1794

(Named for uncle, Ferdinando Hicks)

Matthew Hicks (Waddleton) 26 Mar. 1797

Mary (Wadleton) 7 July 1799

John and Susannah were listed in the 1841 census, living at Higher Deviock in St. Germans. His occupation was then listed as “agricultural laborer”.

John died the next year on 17 Oct. 1842 of “asthma[11]” and was buried the 19th at St. Germans[12]. Susannah then went to live with their son, William, at Crafthole in Sheviock Parish, just southeast of St. Germans. Susannah died and was buried there on 22 Jan. 1847.

John Wadling

Baptized the first born of John and Susannah on 28 Jan. 1788 at St. Germans Parish, Cornwall, England.

He married Jenny Rickard[13] there on 8 Aug. 1808, at which time his stated occupation was husbandman. Jenny Rickard was “born at Nottor (Nottar) Bridge four miles from Salthash” (Saltash)[14]. Nottar Bridge was at that time part of the parish of St. Stephens, where she was baptized on 2 Oct. 1786, the daughter of Joseph and Ann Rickard.

The following list of register entries describes their family’s development and movement;

Given Name	Event	Date	Parish	Residence	John’s occup.
Mary Ann	Bapt.	13 Jan. 1811	St. Stephens
Jane	Bapt.	19 Dec. 1813	Antony	Carbeal	laborer in Dockyard[15]
Jane	Buried	6 Jan. 1815	Antony
John	Bapt.	22 Oct. 1815	Antony	Carbeal	laborer in Dockyard
Jane	Bapt.	24 Oct. 1819	Antony	Carbeal	sawyer in Dockyard
William Richard[16]	Bapt.	8 Aug. 1824	Antony	Morice
Elizabeth	Bapt.	10 May 1827	Torpoint	New Passage
William	Buried	6 Feb. 1828	Stoke Damerel	John St.
Elizabeth	Buried	12 Mar. 1828	Stoke Damerel
Elizabeth Rickard	Bapt.	27 Dec. 1829	East Stonehouse
Elizabeth	Buried	27 Feb. 1831	Stoke Damerel	Gun lane
Samuel	Bapt.	13 Mar. 1835	Stoke Damerel
Samuel	Buried	13 Mar. 1836	Stoke Damerel	Gun lane
Jane	married	15 Oct. 1839	Stoke Damerel	to Wm. Doubtfire a grocer of Plymouth

The following timeline may be of assistance in visualizing the family’s progress:

From this we see that John and the second Jane are the only ones who survived to have offspring.

Jenny RICKARD Wadling died of apoplexy[17] on 20 Sept. 1840 at Princess St. in Devonport and was buried at Stoke Damerel. The daughter Mary Ann (called Maria) died at Granby St. and was buried at Stoke Damerel on 15 Mar. 1849.

John was listed in the 1851 Census as a superannuated[18] Sawyer, living at 27 Granby St., Devonport. He died there three years later on 11 April 1854 of phthisis, a lung disease, usually occupational in origin. He was buried at Stoke Damerel.

Many of the streets where John and family once resided no longer exist. They were bombed into oblivion in World War II.

John Wadlin

Born 22 Sept. 1815, in Carbeal; a “short distance from Torpoint[19]”, Cornwall, England. He was baptized the son of John and Jane on 22 Oct. 1815.

A man named John, age 20, arrived 26 Oct. 1835 at New York Harbor aboard a ship called “The Pacific”. Careful study of passenger lists of this period indicates that this was probably John Wadlin, however, the name recorded was John “Wagdin”.

John returned to England and married Ann Gasking Foale at the Fore St. Registry office in Devonport on 1 Feb. 1841[20]. This was a civil ceremony, which was a little unusual, and may have been due to marriage in the church by banns taking three weeks, at least. John may have purchased a round trip on the Westminster, and would have missed the sailing if he had taken the three weeks to get married by banns.

Shortly after their marriage John and Ann boarded the Westminster, bound for New York, arriving there 1 April 1841. John’s occupation on the Westminster’s passenger list was noted as baker, confirming family tradition to the effect that John was apprenticed as a baker when a boy in England.

John’s wife, Ann, was born the daughter of Joshua Foale, a versatile smith and foundry man, and Harriet (nee) Gasking on 14 Jan. 1819 in St. Andrews Parish, Plymouth, England.

Although he apparently dabbled in such businesses as stabling and cabbing, John was primarily occupied in the darting business from 1841 until the time of his retirement, about 1880.

John officially declared his intention of becoming a U.S. citizen on 5 June 1840. This may have made it easier to leave the country and return with his new bride. Citizenship was granted on 11 April 1843.

His children, all born in Manhattan, were:

Harriet Jane................. 14 Dec. 1842

Sarah Elizabeth............ 29 July 1844

Mary Ann.................... 16 Jan. 1847

Mary Jane................... 11 Feb. 1849

Ann Maria................... 8 Dec. 1850

Catherine Matilda........ 7 Feb. 1853

Anne Eliza................... 13 July 1855

Caroline Whitlock........ Sept. 1857

John Joshua Foale....... 3 Feb. 1860

Susan Gasken.............. 5 Aug. 1862

John’s wife, Ann, died 23 Jan. 1901 at 277 46th St., Brooklyn, and was buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Bethel Slope, plot 631.

When John died on 23 October 1907 at 11:40 a.m., the cause noted was nutrial regurgitation. His last residence was with his widowed daughter, Anne Eliza Niblock at 506 Gates Ave., Brooklyn[21]. He was buried with his wife.

Contemporary Records
and Written Tradition

The 1869 letter from Matthew Waddleton was not the only family record handed down, nor the only one forgotten. There was also a Foale Family Record in which births and deaths were recorded as they happened. This record covers the period between 1785 and 1803, during which time the Foales were in East Allington, Devon. Presumably, this record was passed down via Ann Foal, who immigrated to the U.S. with her husband John Wadling in 1841. Since she wasn’t the eldest child, the youngest child, a male child, or even a convenient or doting child, it isn’t clear how she came by this record.

Still, the Foale Family Record may have inspired others in the family to make a record of the ones who preceded us in this world. I can imagine my immigrant ancestor, John Wadlin, sometime after the death of Ann Foale Wadlin, his wife, sitting down with his daughter Annie Niblock, to look through his wife’s things. Coming across the Foale Family Record, which at that time was already over a hundred years old, they are inspired to put down what they know about the family, before John goes to join his wife. I believe that the “Deaths and Births” record, which follows, is the result of something of the kind.

John Joshua Foale Wadlin

Born the son of John and Ann on 3 Feb. 1860 in Manhattan, New York. He worked as a clerk in a shoe store, which he later managed, and later entered into the wholesale hardware business. He is said to have been a supplier of hardware to the Mack Brothers of truck manufacturing fame.

John was married to Charlotte Isabel Voight of Brooklyn on 12 Sept. 1883. Charlotte was the daughter of Frederick Voight (a native of Germany) and Annie (nee) Middleton (a native of England). She was born on the 8th Feb. 1864, in Brooklyn.

Their Children, all born in Brooklyn, are as follows:

1. Frederick John, b. 30 Aug. 1884, d. 18 Aug. 1939 Married Florence (a/k/a Florette) Taylor Worked for Railway Express

2. Herbert Edmund, b. 1 April 1886, d. 29 June 1950 Married Caroline Teressa Friedmann 21 Feb. 1912 He was a farmer.

3. Milo Lewis, b. 12 Nov. 1887, d. 28 Sept. 1921, Brooklyn Married Florence Alice Pope 11 June 1913. He ran an auto repair shop.

4. Arthur Theodore, b. 20 Dec. 1888, d. 17 Mar. 1974, Idaho Married Edith Ellis 19 Jan. 1915. He was a warehouse vice pres. for Towers.

5. Charlotte Isabel, b. 22 Feb. 1898, Married William Harrison Maynard 1 June 1921

6. John Joshua Foale, b. 31 May 1901, d. 30 April 1953, Married Beatrice Hasbrouck 8 Aug. 1935. He was an attorney and NY legislator.

Later, John and Charlotte moved to Highland, New York, where he died on 17 Nov. 1926. His wife, Charlotte, died there on 28 Dec. 1937, in the arms of her grandson, Milo.

Wadlins in Maine

I have made a database for two separate Wadlin lines I found in Maine, USA. I call them Maine I and Maine II.

Appendix B
Wadlings in Australia

From a letter by Ernest Wadling of Australia, 27 Oct. 1980

My father was Charles Leonard Wadling born in Topsham Devon, about 1863. He went away to sea at the age of 14 years and he made a career of the sea until he was about 32 or 33 years age.

He was discharged from the sea in Australia about 1895 or 1896. I think his sea fairing days was in the Royal Navy. He married my mother who was a miss Phillips in June 1896. My mother’s given names (were) Ethel May Sophia.

From that marriage was 1 daughter and six Sons, who were: Gladys Wadling, her married name was Gladys Dorahy, who is now deceased. Then came Eric John Wadling, now deceased. Then Charles Robert Reginald Wadling who lives at Croff Harbour on the N.S.W. Coast. Then there is Herbert Sturt of St. Marys N.S.W. Then myself, Ernest William Wadling of Riverstone N.S.W. Then came Harry Wadling of 4 Kelvin Ave. Picnic Point, who is now deceased. Then there is Stanley Keith Wadling of Phesant Nest near Tahmoor N.S.W.

My father and mother were married at Balmain near Sydney N.S.W. All the Wadling(s) listed in the Telephone Directory are related.

My father told us when he came to Australia in 1895 Or 1896, as far as he knew he was the only Wadling in Australia, now at the present day there are quite a large number of Wadlings in this country.

My mother passed away August1938 and my father passed away in June 1941.

Appendix C
Wadelton

The English Surname of Wadelton and it’s ordinary Variants, (Wadleton, Waddleton, etc.) seems to first appear in parish records in the year 1734, in the parish of Butterleigh, Devonshire. It is therefore a relatively new name, and as such is almost certainly a variant itself, of some other older name.

The name is found primarily in the eastern portion of Devon and, somewhat later, eastern sections of Cornwall. It is only rarely found in the parishes that separate these two areas (i. e. west Devon) with the exception of Plymouth.

To help us get some idea of what name was the predecessor of Wadelton it is useful to know something of the dialects in use at that time.

When most of us think of a British Accent we think of words sounded with a certain precision. The “English Accent” was not always this way, and indeed is not now that way in all parts of England.

In the West Country (Devon and Cornwall) there was a specific dialect that used many of the same lazy pronunciations as those of us with “American Accents” use. (I sometimes wonder if this was not the origin of our accent.) This dialect did not share our sometimes-harsh tonal qualities, however. The country folk of Devon and Cornwall can still be observed to speak in this manner. As an example, they would pronounce the word “knitting” as “nih’in’”. There is a town of Launceton in Cornwall, but the Cornish pronounce it as if it was spelled “Lanson.” The result is that the name “Wadelton” becomes “Wah-del-un”.

There is a rather old name which also appears almost exclusively in the West Country. This name, however, appears mostly in western Devon and, for the most part, seems to avoid the towns were Wadeltons are found. This name is Wadeland or Wadland. In the West Country dialect this is pronounced “Wah-de-lun”.

In the days before widespread literacy and rigid rules of spelling, the vicars recording births in the few parishes where both these names were present were hard pressed to tell the one name from the other when pronounced; the Vicars would spell it one way a first time and the other the next.

A couple of examples follow:

Anthony Parish Registers -

(Three entries for, apparently, the same couple)

Thomas Waddleton married Joan Neidler, 25 Feb. 1744

Elizabeth, Dau. of Thomas and Joan Wadland, 5 Jan. 1749

Mary, dau. of Thomas and Joan Wadlin, 29 Sep. 1754

William, son of Matthew and Mary Waddleton or Wadling,

(That guy wasn’t taking chances) 15 Oct. 1820

Ann, dau. of Ferdinando and Mary Waddleton, 24 July 1831

Mary, dau. of Ferdinando and Mary Wadling, 3 Sep. 1826

John, son of Matthew and Mary Waddleton, 27 Nov. 1831

Joseph, son of Matthew and Mary Wadling, 5 Jan. 1823

Saint Germans Parish Register -

Baptisms -

Joseph, son of John and Susannah Wadling, 8 April 1792

Ferdinando, son of John and Susannah Wadleton, 23 Sep. 1794

Lastly, another baptism example from St. Germans –

On 28 Jan. 1788, John was baptised the son of John and Susannah. The surname was first written in and crossed out. Then, “Wadleton” was written below. Still not satisfied, the Vicar scraped off the original entry with a knife and wrote the name “Waddling” in its place.

It is certainly a possibility that Wadelton is a variant of the name Wadland, which can be traced back to the 1200’s. On the other hand, I have failed to locate any record of a town of Waddle or Wadelton.

[1] Crafthole in Sheviock Parish, just south of St. Germans.

[2] Torpoint is across the river from Plymouth, at the eastern edge of Cornwall.

[6] On a Saturday in March of 1864, while climbing from the 100 fathom to 90 fathom level of the Wheal Ludcott mine in St. Ives, Joseph’s foot slipped and the fall broke his neck.

[8] Susannah was indentured to John Turner of “Carrycawn” in 1777 to learn housewifery.

[9] Hessenford is at the west edge of St. Germans Parish.

[11] Probably intended to be “asthenia” which describes a general weakening.

[14] Quote from “Deaths and Births” record that proved accurate.

[15] Plymouth Dockyard, later called Devonport Dockyard.

[16] Duplicate entry in Torpoint reads “William Rickard”.

[18] Retired. John began receiving a pension of 20 pounds on 27 Feb. 1849.

[19] Another accurate quote from “Deaths and Births” record.

[20] Oral tradition has it that Ann required John to return for her, if they were to be married – “If I’m worth having, I’m worth coming after.”

[21] It seems that it was during John’s stay with Annie Niblock that the “Deaths and Births” record was made. The death of John’s wife is recorded (1901), but John’s death date is left blank (1907). That record has proved more accurate than the recollections of John’s daughter, Caroline, who held all of the papers that have been handed down, following John’s death. She got the idea we were descended from a Quaker farmer in Wales.

[22] He signed his name “Thomas Wadelton” and the marriage was witnessed by Joseph Wadelton.

[23] “Dock” or “Plymouth Dock” was the old name for Devonport

[24] The reversal of the e and the l is not a typographical error. Great care has been taken to assure that the spelling of the name Wadelton or Wadleton appears just as it did on the stone.

[25] Torpoint is on the opposite side of the river from Devonport

[26] William Guyer signed as witness to John Wadlin’s naturalization.
