Linstead Magna was a small village of scattered houses that no longer exists, which laid between four and five miles from Halesworth. The church was dedicated to St Peter and was in the center of the village. The only reference on the map now to Linstead Magna is Church Farm near Linstead Hall. Linstead Parva is also situated between four and five miles from Halesworth where houses are built round three greens. The church is dedicated to St Margaret, is small with a belfry. Both parish registers date back to Tudor times.
Thomas's origins are currently unknown however it seems likely that he was a relation of Kerenhappuch (Happy) Baxter (1775 - 1797) who is buried in Linstead Parva on the 10th January 1797 a single woman aged 22.
Marriage Thomas married Ann Rackham (1781 - 1854) the daughter of Stephen Rackham and Mary Baldry on the 12th October 1802, Cratfield.

Plaintiff said that on the 19th of October he went out with his wife and family and left him man W Baxter (Linstead) to mind the premises. While he was away the two defendants came to his house and took a fat pig out of the sty, he went to Baxter’s the next morning about it, but found it was killed and the two defendants had taken it to Lowestoft. He left word with Baxter’s mother that if he did not come and make arrangement he should enter an action against him. Wm Baxter* plaintiff’s man said the defendants came and took the pig while his master was out, but although left in charge he did not consider it any concern of his. The defendant Plumb, said he was authorised by plaintiff to sell the pig, and sold it to Baxter for £4 10s. The money was left with a woman in charge. Plaintiff denied authorising defendant to sell the pig for him and said the money was never given him by the woman of the house. The defendant Baxter said he went with Plumb and bought the pig of him for £4 10s. His Honour said they had no right to take the pig away in Plaintiffs absence and gave judgement for £5 to be paid in 14 days. |
