| History |
FROGGATT Samuel (1721-1814), originally from Calver, married in 1751. Baptism
records confirm his presence at Moorside in 1754. His mother, Elizabeth nee WHITE
was born in Baslow. The Whites were an affluent Baslow family: My (David's) hunch is that the
White's were the original tenants of the farm and Samuel inherited it through his
mother.
Samuel's third son Hezekiah (b.1763) succeeded to the tenancy in 1813. Hezekiah
died without children and was succeeded by his nephew, Benjamin (b.1802)
Samuel's youngest son Jason (b.1770) became the tenant of Robin Hood Farm 1
(see below). Jason's eldest son Benjamin was the one who took over Moorside Farm. |
