Notes on Edward Chute and Lydia Gibbon(s) Chute and Thomazine Henden Chute

The marriage date for Edward and Lydia has also been recorded as 9-19-1608, and placed in "Bethersden, Canterbury, Kent, England". Edward Chute (or Choute) was in his time described as a "right worthy gentleman"; he took a prominent place in Kentish affairs, in 1635-6 was High Sheriff of the county and died in 1640.

After Lydia's death in 1631, Edward remarried - a listing of Kent marriages contains the following entry: "CHUTE, Edward, esq., of Beddersden, co. Kent, 53, and Thomazine Criche, of the city of London, 52, widow of Edmund Criche, citizen and merchant taylor of London, deceased - at St. Bride, London or St. Mary, Islington. 12 Aug 1633." Data provided by Cleve Taylor.

Based on the above, she should have been born in 1581, although an Ancestral File makes her a full generation older, born Thomazine Henden in 1569, christened on 20 Feb 1569, the daughter of Symon Henden and Elizabeth Shorte, and married to Edmund Critch in Nov of 1589. However, the dates (1569, 1589) appear estimated, and may be incorrect in the Ancestral File.

ON THE LOSS OF DEACON H. H. CHUTE'S THREE VESSELS.
1.From the Isle of Cape Breton, the port of Cow Bay,
A schooner, the "Vivid," had started one day
Coal laden for Halifax, sails were all set,
But failed on the ocean by storms that they met.

2.Daniel Johnson, the captain, and crew of good men,
A minister and wife and six children, all then
With good cheer and prospects upon the great main,
But alas they went down, their hopes were in vain.

3.And then Lizzie Chute," was another by name,
From West Indies coming with Captain John Graham,
She struck on the rocks on January ten,
And met a sad fate in all seven men.

4.A young man among them, Charles Herbert, the one,
Only son of the owner, who now felt undone,
But they went, with the mate, David Pyne and George Vroom,
And a colored cook too, a very sad doom.

5.Another, the " Heiress," at Bear River's mouth,
Was well lumber laden and off for the South;
But alas she was doomed and by fire consumed;
And so the trip ended as may be presumed.

C. H. W. June, 1893.

*Deacon Chute lost two other vessels [in addition to the one which took the life of his son],one the "Vivid," Capt. Daniel Johnson, coal laden, Dep. 1867, from Cape Breton to Halifax, with six men, a minister, wife and six children; and another the "Heiress," lumber laden, burned at the mouth of Bear River."
