Born ± 1720/21 Bellingham, Northumberland, England 4) 5) Baptised 4 Mar 1720/21 Bellingham, Northumberland, England 5) Died 20 Sep 1803 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England, approximately 83 years 4) Buried 23 Sep 1803 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 4) Occupation: Farmer 1) 4) Residences: 1800 Kidlaw, Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 6), 1798 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 7) Will signed: 9 Oct 1804 3) Notes: Andrew's brother, Thomas Heron, left a will dated 1810 - which was subsequently subject to litigation. https://iiif.durham.ac.uk/index.html?manifest=t1m3484zh26t&canvas=t1tg445cp76z The litigation (which includes a copy of a disputed will, but not the final will) identifies Andrew's siblings and immediate family: Brother John Heron and sister Ann Heron (both living with Thomas Heron) Brother William Heron of The Heigh, Hexhamshire, Northumberland - and his children; Thomas Heron, Margaret Heron, William Heron, Mary Heron Sister Elizabeth Arthur, widow of Kirkharle - and her children; Thomas Arthur, Isabella Arthur, Mary Arthur Ann wife of Matthew Gills of the Hot, Simonburn, cartwright Ann Batey, daughter of Thomas Batey of the hot / Hot Hill, husbandman Ann, daughter of Thomas Breckons (a friend of Thomas Heron) Ann Hunter, daughter of Thomas Hunter of Hot Hill, Simonburn, joiner Ann Batey, daughter of James Batey (at that time living with Thomas Heron), husbandman William Breckons, son of Thomas Breckons Margaret, wife of Thomas Breckons Andrew Heron, son of the late Andrew Heron (brother of Thomas) - this Andrew Mary Heron, daughter of Andrew, married to John Hunter of Kirkharle, joiner Nicholas Lowes, son of Benjamin Lowes, of the Black Carts near Walwick, husbandman Mary, daughter of Thomas Forster of Bellingham, labourer Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Lowes, of the Black Carts Thomas Breckons and William Batey named executors Through the litigation other kinships are identified, primarily further relatives of William Baty, who stands accused of falsifying, a will to include new legatees, including: Mary Forster, is a daughter of William Baty Ann, wife of Matthew Gills is a daughter of William Baty Mary wife of William Baty, is a sister to Thomas Heron (Andrew's brother) Another Mary Baty, married Giles (or James?) Batey, son of the William Batey Thomas Heron was a nephew of the said testator Robert Scott married a niece of the said Thomas "Thomas Heron Hunter, one of the legatees named in Thomas Heron's will married a niece of the testator who is another of the therein named." Thomas Heron Hunter's wife was named Mary Baty. Therefore if Mary Baty is to be a niece of the testator (Thomas Heron), then Mary must be a daughter of a Baty and a Heron. And the Heron must be a sister to Thomas Heron. This must mean that Mary, wife of William Baty (identified in the litigation as a sister to Thomas Heron), is mother of Mary Baty, and William Baty is her father. "That Mary Hunter a legatee named in the will of said Thos Heron is daughter to the said William Batey" which further supports this Andrew also left his own will which identifies the following individuals: Grandson Thomas Hunter, son of John Hunter of Kirkharle Grandaughter Margaret Hunter, daughter of John Son Andrew Heron Married 14 May 1754 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 8) (45 years married) to:  Mary ArthurDaughter of William Arthur and Margaret Brown. Born ± 1723 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 6) Baptised 19 Aug 1723 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 9) Died Jan 1800 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England, approximately 77 years 6) Buried 23 Jan 1800 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 6) Residence: 1800 Kidlaw, Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 6) Notes: Mary is either daughter of William Arthur of Thrivewell, baptised August 1723; or the daughter of Edward Arthur of Thrivewell, baptised July 1725. Three individuals with the surname Arthur, marry three siblings with the surname Heron - Andrew Heron, Elizabeth Heron, and Thomas Heron. If we suppose that their three partners (Mary Arthur, Christopher Arthur, Eleanor Arthur) are also siblings, then that would mean this Mary's father is William, as only William has three children with these names. That is further supported by a burial record dated October 1738 for Mary Arthur daughter of Edward Arthur. Children: 1. Margaret HeronDied 28 Aug 1787 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England Daughter of Andrew and Mary. 2. Andrew HeronBorn 1760 Kirkharle, Northumberland, England 3.
