The Wingfields of Rutland and Tickencote

Part of my great-great grandmother Sarah Margaret Huckeba Moore's line goes back to the Wingfields, who at one time owned much of the land in Rutland emcompassing and surrounding the village of Tickencote. Below is a video of a walking tour of the Rutland Round, including views of the church in Tickencote with a stone commemorating its rebuilding in 1792 by Eliza Wingfield, a distant relation.

Sarah Margaret Huckeba

Photo of my great-great grandmother Sarah Margaret Huckeba, first wife of Rev. Thomas Moore and mother of my great-grandfather Marion Joshua Moore. At this writing I am researching her bloodline, which thus far extends to the Garlands, Wingfields, Cromwells, and Seymours. More will be posted at a later date.

Update: Her memorial page at Find A Grave, including an obituary from the Carroll County Times, may be found here.
