Last Edited: 7 Jul 2023
  • Birth: BW87 Henry Brasted was born in 1625 at East Grinstead, Sussex, EnglandB.
  • Baptism*: BW87 Henry Brasted was baptized on 25 December 1625 at St Swithun, East Grinstead, Sussex, EnglandB.1
  • He was the son of William Brasted and Susan Woodman.
  • Marriage*: BW87 Henry Brasted married Frances Baldwin on 19 May 1654 at Worth, Sussex, EnglandB, both of this parish.2
  • Anecdote*: In a lease dated 1657, Henry Brasted is described as a mercer. (ESRO: BH/P/ES/CG/4.)
  • Anecdote*: Sometime between 1650-70, Richard PAGE and Henry BRASTED jointly issued an undated halfpenny merchant's token at East Grinstead (BW87, N----, K54) which reads:
    Obverse: (mullet)RICH.PAGE.AND.HEN.BRASTED , around a cable circle containing a crown.
    Reverse: (mullet)EAST.GRIMSTED.IN.SVSSEX , around a cable circle containing THEIR HALF PENY on three lines.
    Richard PAGE was an innkeeper and the crown represents the Crown Inn at East Grinstead. Henry BRASTED's will describes him as a mercer, so it is possible that he was a joint proprietor of the inn and/or the token was used for his mercer's business as well. These tokens were only issued in Sussex between 1650-1670 due to a severe shortage of small change.
