Sarah Amsincq

Notes:

One of the daughters of a Gentleman belonging to a family of great distinction both at The Hague and at Hamburgh, in both which Republics they filled the highest posts. This match connected the Aufrere family with the Boreel and Fagel families so distinguished in the annals of Holland.

Sarah married Israel Antoine Aufrere on 2 May 1700 in Netherlands. Israel (son of Antoine Aufrere, Marquis de Colville and Antoinette Gervaise) was born in 1667 in France; died on 4 Mar 1758 in London; was buried in 1758 in Paddington, London. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Anthony Aufrere, born 25 th June 1704. Educated at Westminster school, he continued his studies at Oriel College, Oxford, took the degree of Master of Arts, was ordained in 1728, and soon afterwards presented to the Rectory of Heigham near Norwich by his father's great friend Dr Wake the then Archbishop of Canterbury. About the same time he went over to Holland and married at The Hague Marieanne de Gastine, daughter of the Major de Gastine, a French refugee in the Dutch service. By this lady who died soon after the birth of her second child, he had a daughter, Susan, who died very young, and a son, Anthony, my father, of whom hereafter. My Grandfather, settling at Norwich, there married, about 1740 M" Mary Smith, widow, who eventually became entitled to and possessed of the estates of her Uncle Giles Cutting Esq. of Hoveton S 1 Peter in Norfolk, who died in the Fleet prison in London and left his estate overloaded with debt. By great sacrifices on my Grandfather's part, as well as by good management and frugality, he cleared the property of incumbrances; and his wife, having no near relations, devised it to him and his heirs.

He survived his second wife near thirty years and died at his house at Norwich the 22 A day of May 1781 in his 77th year. He was much esteemed for his piety, learning and good sense; and for his affectionate, unvarying, and substantial kindness to me, I never think or speak about him without perfect gratitude and tenderness.

Anthony married Susanna Hulin De Gastine on 20 Jul 1727 in London. Susanna was born in 1708; died in 1731; was buried on 10 Dec 1731 in St James Piccadilly, Westminster, London . [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Anthony produced an enormous family of fifteen children, twelve of whom survived to adulthood, but perhaps because of the sheer size of this brood, it is possible that money was always a little tight. Only the two sons who were destined for the church went to University

Anthony married Anna Norris on 17 Feb 1756. Anna (daughter of John Norris and Anna Carthew) was born in 1733 in Witton, Norfolk; died on 9 Apr 1816 in Hoveton, Norfolk; was buried on 18 Apr 1816 in Hoveton, Norfolk. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
