3.  Ann Ardron (chr. 12 Feb 1709 Laughton; bur ????) married 26 Mar 1739 in Laughton to William Linley (born ca 1696; died 1780 Laughton), husbandman.  (Both the wills of Thomas Ardron (1771) and Samuel Ardron (1793) mention the Linleys, so this is an overlapping piece that appears to establish them as brothers.)  Their three known children are: 

• William Linley (bn. ca. 1741);
• Benjamin Linley (bn. ca. 1745), hosier;
• Elizabeth Linley (bn. ca. 1748) (of St. James Westminster) who married on 25 Jul 1770 at St. Leonards, Shoreditch, London Richard Crampton (of Middle Moorfields, London).  They had a son Charles Crampton (chr. 6 Feb 1772 in Laughton en le Morthen).

4.  Thomas Ardron (chr. 8 Jun 1712 Laughton; bur 11 Mar 1712/1713 Laughton)

5.  Joseph Ardron (chr. 8 Jun 1712; bur ????) married Sarah Battie.  They have three known children:

• William Ardron (chr 19 Jan 1744 East Peniston, Yorkshire)
• Mary Ardron (chr. 11 Apr 1747 East Peniston) married 5 Feb 1764 Penistone to John Culpin
• Samuel Ardron (chr. 20 Jan 1750 East Peniston) married 26 Aug 1776 Penistone Elizabeth Garthwait.  They have a son Joseph Ardron (chr. 26 Jun 1777 Penistone)

6.  Barbabus or Barnham Ardron (chr 8 Jul 1714 Laughton; aft 1786) (blacksmith) married 25 Dec 1738 Laughton to Sarah Roberts (bn. 1717/1718 Yorkshire; bur 14 Feb 1786 Laughton).  They have four known children:

• Thomas Ardron (bn. 1739 Laughton; bur 20 Nov 1797 Laughton) (blacksmith) married Anne Bramhall (bn. 1740 Yorkshire).  They had ten children.  See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ardron/thomasardroni.htm  [One of their sons, Thomas Ardron (1770-1832), had a son Barnabus Ardron (bn 19 May 1793 St. George Bloomsbury, Middlesex; died 1857 Sheffield) (cutler of Sheffield), who may be the man shown on ancestry.com who received a campaign medal for his service with "Robert Gardiners Troop Royal Horse Artillery" at the Battle of Waterloo.   I don't know if the man receiving the award is the same Barnabus.  Also, in the 1841 census for Sheffield goal is Barnabs Ardron, age 45, cutler, born London.]  
• Mary Ardron (chr 25 Dec 1743 Laughton)
• William Ardron (chr 29 Oct 1757 Laughton) (I see the big gap here.)
• Joseph Ardron (bn. ca. 1760; bur 23 Feb 1762 Laughton)

7.  Thomas Ardron (chr 10 May 1717 Laughton; died 1771 Laughton) Messenger in Ordinary to the King.  He left a will that I will post next on this blog.  He played a significant role under orders from Lord Halifax in what led to the important legal case, Entick v Carrington (1765) which concerned excessive executive power to search and seize property at will.

8.  Hannah Ardron (chr. 16 Feb 1719 Laughton; bur 27 Dec 1797 Laughton) married 21 Oct 1745 in Peak Forest, Derbyshire (kind of a Gretna Green type parish with relaxed marriage rules) to Aaron Barker (chr 5 Oct 1717 Norton, Derbyshire; bur 26 Aug 1801 Laughton) (scythesmith from Greenhill, Norton & later laborer from Laughton).  They had six children that I know of.  Only two--Mary Ludlam and Thomas Barker--are mentioned in the 1793 will of Samuel Ardron.

• Hannah Barker (chr 24 Jul 1748 Norton)  (She must have died young, but where?)
• Anne Barker (chr 26 Aug 1750 Norton)  (She must have died young, but where?)
• Mary Barker (chr 16 Mar 1755 Laughton; died 22 May 1816 Slade Hooton, Laughton) married 27 Dec 1774 Laughton to Edward Ludlam (bn. ca. 1745/50; died 26 Feb 1825 Rotherham).  They had eight children all christened in Laughton.
• Thomas Barker (chr 5 Jan 1759 Laughton; bur 15 May 1802 Rotherham) (plumber & glazier) (My 4x great-grandfather) married 16 Apr 1788 Rotherham to Elizabeth Wheelhouse (bn. 1759; bur 16 Jun 1814 Rotherham).  They had six children, all christened in Rotherham, including my 3x great-grandfather Samuel Barker (1791-1832) who I believe was probably named after his great-uncle Samuel Ardron (1708-1793).
