PAYNTERS -- REDRUTH CORNWALLTO ANGLESEY WALES
JOHN (or Jonathan) PAYNTER married Elizabeth PERKS at Redruth, Cornwall,
in 1734. They had 4 sons baptised at St. Uny, Redruth between 1735 and
1741. This is the family who went to Amlwch, Anglesey, "to see about some
mines" probabaly in the late 1760's. The copper mines there were not
discovered until 1768 and the earliest Paynter reference in the Amlwch
area is for Jonathan's son Andrew in 1770.
A descendant, my ggggrandmother was ELLEN PAYNTER (C.1766-1849 in Amlwch,
ANG, Wales.)
She married JOHN HUGHES (1758-1845Amlwch) before the birth of their first
son in 1800 (he was also a JOHN HUGHES). Her husband was Captain of the
Brig "Agnes" sailing out of Amlwch, and they are both buried in the St.
Eleth churchyard at Amlwch.
We know that ELLEN'S father was WILLIAM PAYNTER (bap. 1741 in
Redruth),one of the four brothers who left Cornwall around 1760 to go to
Anglesey. The brothers were: (1) ANDREW (bap. 1735) m. Catherine COX
(father Joseph Cox, a customs officer in Pwhelli); Andrew also became a
customs officer. (2) THOMAS (bap. 1736) (3) JOHN (bap. 1739) (4) my
WILLIAM PAYNTER (bap.1741)--m. CATHERINE (RANDLES?).
A daughter of ELLEN PAYNTER HUGHES was ANN(E) HUGHES, who married her
second cousin ZACCHEUS PAYNTER (1780-1830), himself an excise officer,
and considerably older than his bride. Their children (all born in
Anglesey) were: Margaret (b.1813); John Wynne (b.1815); William Cox (b.
1817); Thomas (b.1820); Joseph Cox (b.1823); Andrew (a twin to Joseph);
Ellinor/Ellin (varies) (b.1826) ; Ellen (b.1828); Ann (b. 1830)--9
children born in 17 years of marriage. The father of ZACCHEUS PAYNTER was
ANDREW PAYNTER, one of the 4 brothers from Cornwall, married to Catherine
Cox. Andrew and Catherine seem to have had 6 children, Zaccheus being the
oldest. Andrew's 2nd son was a JOHN PAYNTER (d.1843 in Amlwch, Anglesey),
and he perhaps married a Margaret (?). In the 1841 census he was
described as a corn and timber merchant and living at Maesllwyn, a
substantial house. He probably had no sons as he left the house to his
nephew JOHN WYNNE PAYNTER. Perhaps a widowed daughter of JOHN PAYNTER was
MARGARET GRIFFITHS, as she was in possession of the house by 1851. By
1861 JOHN WYNNE PAYNTER has the house at Maesllwyn, and he became a
prominent merchant and magistrate.
