The
Pearman family
Hugh
Perman married Mary
Penn on
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1564 Wedded Hugh Perman &
Mary Penne were marryed the 16 of January (Hagley PR
125/1 Worcs CRO)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hugh
Perman (c1536
c1600), possibly born in the parish of Pedmore (LDS/MS)
Mary
Penn born
c1538, survived her husband and executrix of his Will
From 1564 to 1573, the Pearman
family lived in the parish of Alvechurch,
Worcestershire,
where all the children were baptised. At some time between 1573
and 1586 (when daughter Jane was married)
the family moved to Clent. It was here
that Hugh died in early 1599.
Baptismal records and
beneficiaries of Hugh Pearmans will enable the present
reconstruction of the family. Anthony is not
mentioned in the will, so probably died in
childhood. One of his daughters, either
Elizabeth or Ann, married John Jones, but it
is not clear which. His wife,
Mary, was the executrix of Hughs Will.
An inventory of his goods made
on
suggest Hugh was principally a sheep
farmer. The livestock included 40 sheep, 10 lambs, 4
pigs, 2 mares and a cow.
Records of seven children:
Jane
Antonye
Ann
Nicholas
Ales
John
Elizabeth
Perman baptised
on
Either Elizabeth or her younger
sister, Ann, married John Jones, and by 1599 had a
son, Richard, and other children.

Jane married Owyn [or Uwin]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owin Heathe alias Swan of
Tanworth and Jane Perman were married the 22 day of October
1586 (Clent PR, Worcs CRO 64/1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time of her fathers
death, Jane and Owyn had four children.
Antonye
Perman baptised
on
In Hugh Permans Will, Nicholas
Permans son, Thomas, is described as my oldest
sonnes sonne, so it is probable that
Antonye died before 1599.

John
Perman married
in about 1599
John Perman had at least one
child, Richard, who was baptised in 1600
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1600 Richard Perman the sonne of
John Perman was baptised the 21 day of October (Clent

It is this Richard Perman (or
Pearman) (bap
believed to have married Cicely
and had eight
children: Richard, John, Anne,
Ambrose, Nicholas,
Elizabeth, Joane and Thomas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes
1. Jo Vernon suggests that the
parents of Richard Pearman (c1600-1675) were Rychard
Perman
and Ann
Baylies (married
against this. First, there is no record
of a Richard born to Rychard and Ann. Second, the three
recorded baptisms of their children
(from 1595 to 1606) took place in Alvechurch (when the
family of Hugh Perman were already
living in Clent). It is, of course, possible that Richard
Pearmans family also moved to
Clent and also had a son, Richard, in about 1608. But as
Richard Pearman married Cicely
in about 1628, it is more likely he was born in about
1600
corresponding to the age of Richard, son of
John Pearman and grandson of Hugh.

3. The records suggest four
possibly related Pearman families living in north Worcestershire
in the mid to late-sixteenth
century.
a) John Perman (bur
b) Thomas Perman (who also died
in 1558) in Upton Warren, with a son Humphory
c) Thomas Perman of Alvechurch
married Margaret Kightley in 1566, and whose recorded
children were Joane, Jane and Rychard.
It is likely that it was his son, Rychard, who married
8
Ann Baylies in 1594 and the
couple had three children in Alvechurch (Thomas, Robert and
John) between
1595 and 1606.
d) Hugh Perman married Mary
Penne and had seven children. The family moved from
Alvechurch to
Clent between 1573 and 1586. Hugh was succeeded by two sons, Nicholas
and John, and it appears that it
was Johns son, Richard, who married Cicely and farmed at
Hollow (now Holly) Cross in
Clent in the seventeenth century.
In 1599, at the time of Hugh
Permans death, his son Nicholas had only one son, Thomas. It
is possible that between 1599 and
1607 he had another son, Richard, and it is this Richard
(rather
than Johns son) who married Cicely. No records have been found yet to support
this
lineage.
4. The [Clent Parish] registers
previous to 1813 are as follows: (i) all entries 1562 to 1619,
also for year 1626; (ii) baptisms
1637 to 1642, marriages and burials 1637 to 1641, also all
1654 to 1729; (iii) baptisms
1729 to 1775 (no entries for 1738), also for year 1782, marriages
1729 to 1754, burials 1729 to
1757, for the year 1768, 1774 to 1776 and 1780 to 1782; (iv)
baptisms and burials 1783 to 1812; (v)
marriages 1754 to 1787; (vi) marriages 1787 to 1798;
(vii) marriages
1798 to 1812. The earlier books have been handsomely bound.

5. CLENT
Clent is a hilly parish
containing besides the
where is situated the church,
Lower Clent, Adam's Hill, Holy Cross and Rumbold, divided from
the rest of the parish by Walton
Hills, of which Holy Cross is the most populous. Although
surveyed in Worcestershire in Domesday
Book the parish was soon afterwards annexed to
Staffordshire, evidently owing
to the fact that it paid the farm it rendered to the king, through
the manor of Kingswinford in that
county. It remained part of Staffordshire until 1832, when it
was again annexed to Worcestershire
for Parliamentary purposes. In 1844 it became part of
Worcestershire
for all purposes.
The soil is gravel, marl and clay and the subsoil clay and
stone. Agriculture is the only
industry; the chief crops being wheat, oats and potatoes, which
latter have largely supplanted the
barley which used to be grown. In the 16th and 17th
centuries the chief trade was
scythe-making, which was followed by nail-making, and this in
its turn died out late in the 19th
century. The parish covers an area of 2,424 acres, which
includes 755½ acres of arable land, 911½
of grass land, 81 acres of woods and plantations
and 7 acres covered by water, the
last being made up by several ponds, two of which work
mills.
