When the ancestors of the Buffry family emigrated to England following
the Norman Conquest in 1066 they brought their family name with them.
They lived in Staffordshire,
where they were lords of the manor Colton.
Spelling variations include: Buffery, Buffrey,,Boughey, Buffie, Boffey,
Buffey, Boughie, Boffie, Boghey and many more.
First found in Staffordshire where they were Landowners near the Manor of Colton from very ancient times. Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: James Boffey who landed in North America in 1764.
According to Gill Sykes Chair of Colton History Society:
“The
Boughey's were not Lord's of the Manor of Colton but owned a substantial farm
in Colton. The farm had been a Grange farm for St. Thomas's Priory in
Staffordshire up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry V111. The
land had originally been given to the Priory in 1264 by the then Lord of Colton
Manor William de Wasteney.
“At the dissolution the Bishop of Lichfield Bishop Lee
requested the Priories lands from Henry to give to his orphaned and
"supposedly" impoverished nephews- the Fowlers. The farm came into
the hands of Thomas Fowler who subsequently sold it in the 1540's to Sampson
Boughey. I think as far as I can certain he was from the Boughey branch
of the family in Audlum North Staffs. It passed from Sampson to his son
George and then to his son Sampson. This last Sampson only had
daughters. Upon their father's death they became joint owners. Constance
the youngest daughter married Whitehall Degge son of the famous Staffordshire
antiquarian Sir Simon Degge. Together they bought out her sisters and became
sole owners of Boughey Hall farm.
“Soon after Whitehall died leaving Constance with one
son. Two years later she married Sir Thomas Whitgreave of Mosely Old Hall
near Wolverhampton (now National Trust) and one of the rescuers of the future
Charles 11 when he had fled from the Battle of Worcester. By this
marriage the farm passed into the ownership of the Whitgreave family and
remained with this family until the 1920's. It is no longer a working
farm but a collection of barn conversions. However inside the main
farmhouse there are still parts of the hall that was there in the time of
the Boughey family.
“I did a research project on this farm as my study for
a certificate in Local History from Keele University.
“If you want to look at a picture of the present day farm it is on our Colton history website www.coltonhistory.gov.org”
BUFFERY, BUFFARY, BUFFERE
With a generation of DOMESDAY, Lower Penn, Staffordshire, England, was held by the BUFFER or BUFFERY family. From Penn Parish Register: http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/Penn/history/Medieval.htm
The Burnett family owned the manor until it was eventually sold to freeholders, or bought by the Leveson or Wrottesly families, with whose descendants it remained.
From The Salter History Collections of Staffordshire: with reference to the 'Trescott Charters' and the BUFFERY gift to the monks of Combe. William BUFFERE III was the underlord of the Barons of Dudley at Nether Penn and Paddington-Bray in Surrey in 1174. William Fitz Warine was a sub-tenant at Nether Penn. Both were fined for their disaffection during the rebellion and their names appear on the Pipe Roll of 22H III among the tenants of Gervase Pagnel.. On the Fine Roll of II H3, The Sheriff of Surrey was ordered to take into the Kings hands the land of William BUFFARE in Paddington, referred to as Paddington-in-Bray.
"The Testa de Nevill states that padinden in Surrey, was taken into the King's hands on the occasion of the outlawry of Amice Wylekun, who was received into his house by William BUFFARI, and was found there: and that Benedict, a certain Jew of Chichester, afterwards claimed it as his pledge, producing a dee of William BUFFARI to that effect; but the King retained it in his hands, and gave it to Alan Trenchemer; and on the death of Alan, King John gave it to William de Brause, and after William, it was given to Peter de Maulay...".
William Buffary, Lord of Nether Penn, was imprisoned for many years for sheltering an unfortunate woman who had been outlawed.
Staffordshire Historical Collection Vol III, p 221 (in Latin) the charter by which William BUFFARY, son of WILLIAM BUFFARY, concerned for the safety of his soul, grants a portion of the land near Trescot to the monks of Combe, 1190 - 1199. The gift was unconditional and even the token rent of one pound of cummin was refused.
At Westminster, 8 July 1200, Sibilla who had been the wife of William BUFFERE II, was represented by her son William BUFFARY III, complained against Walter, Abbot of Combe, represented by Nigel the Monk. Sibella lost the case as William II had not died in possession of the land which she would otherwise have received one third portion of (Widow's terce).
"In 1236 Peter de BUFFER was arrested and later hanged for conspiracy. This, like the modern BUFFERY, is a form of BOUVERIE, meaning ox-farm.... The Peter de BUFFER was one of the King's doorkeepers." [Justice and Crime by W.D. Bowman, Faber and Faber 1932].
Robert BUFFERY, in 1272, also contested that his great grandfather had not given the lands and that it was only a ten-year lease. He also lost his case.
In 1356, Richard de Fynchenesfield was charged with procuring William son of Hugh de Penne and Thomas BUFFERY to kill John Matheu at Whytewyk (Whitwick) in the Manor of Tettenhall.
Today, in Dudley, there is a BUFFERY ROAD, and a BUFFERY PARK.

*** Andrew Pardoe sent the following information RE WILLIAM and MARTHA:
I have just come across your Buffery Family history on the web. I believe you have traced your line back to William Buffery and Martha Perks in Oldswinford in 1640s. I believe William’s family came from the neighbouring manor of Cradley and may have settled in the Lye area in the 1630s. In Nigel Perry's history of Stourbridge. PG 32 and 33 there are a couple of passages that illuminate this period.
He says that the Addenbrooks were a major force in the area owning coal and clay mining rights and water mills along the Stour. In 1627 Samual Addenbrook built a cottage for his son Henry Addenbrook on Lye Waste. By 1638 Henry had been joined by John Perks, William Bache,John Buffery, William Hill, John Westwood, William Round, John and Thomas Syddaway and John Millward. I have traced family lines back to several of these individuals and now realise they all have nailing and Scythe making as an occupational background. It was obviously a close knit and inter related community.
Examples
William Bache=Elizabeth Hill 21 April 1611
Edward Bache = Mary Sydaway 17 November 1635
Margaret Sydaway = John Perks
John Westwood=Margaret Round 21 Sept 1635
Francis and John Westwood apprenticed to John Perks Circa 1670
William Buffery = Margery Perks @ Oldswinford 1st May 1624
I think your William Buffery and Martha Perks are most likely related to John Perks and John Buffery above.
The Manorial records of Cradley show that several of the above families had connections with that manor. For example Thomas and John Syddaway were both manorial Tenants. The Westwoods owned a scythemill in Cradley and there is a William and George Buffery who were also tenants. I think your William is the son of this William and was bap 12 Nov 1592 at Halesowen although his parentage is not given. This William married Cecily Hawkhead @Halesowen 8th Oct 1576 and had a several children including George above.

In 1765 Worgan BUFFREY, born 1737, married Margaret TYLER (an orphan) by Special Licence in Newland. His bondsman was William WORGAN.
Worgan as a Christian name was and is unusual to say the least. However, as a surname in the FOD it was very common. It was also common in those times for a first born son to bear the maiden name of his mother as a Christian name (especially if the mother came from a higher social standing than the father).
Worgan was born in 1737 in Old Swinford, Worcestershire, to Deborah WORGAN and Joseph BUFFREY. By chance (and we all know this is not infallible) there is only one Deborah WORGAN in the whole of the IGI and, guess where she was christened??? Yes, that's right, in Newland FOD!! Not only that, but she has a brother William - could this be Worgan's Bondsman? - could Worgan have moved back to his maternal family's home to find work? As yet, we have not gone any further into this, but I'm sure you can see that this theory is feasible. (Just to add to this, I have the microfiche for Old Swinford covering the pertinent times and there is a Deborah BUFFREY being buried at just the right age to coincide with her baptism in 1711.
Worgan and Margaret TYLER married in 1765 and then the first thing we find after that is an entry in the IGI and confirmed with the Bishop's Transcripts for Newland: Joseph WORGAN, baptised 02.02.1769, son of Buffrey WORGAN and his wife Margaret. We can see from this that BUFFREY was not a usual surname in the FOD, in fact, I think that Worgan was what we might call a "first footer" into Gloucestershire.
We also find Elizabeth BUFFREY (daughter of Worgan and Margaret BUFFREY) buried at Clearwell.
(Thanks to Mr and Mrs Martin BUFFREY for the above)

"The Man who rode the Bull through Wagga"
WELL-KNOWN WRITER, Alan Marshall, recently put forward what looks like a solution to a mystery that has long puzzled many of us - Who was the man who rode the white bull through Wagga?
That wonderful Australian, Dame Mary Gilmore, who was born in Waga, wrote to Mr Marshall: "The white bull was in the first circus to put up its tent in Wagga. It was owned by Mrs Brown and managed by her half brother, Harry Moxham.
"I wasn't more than five or six years old at the time. No one could ride the bull in the circus, but Mr BUFFREY, a Wagga auctioneer, said he would ride it through the town
He did, and it went as quiet as a lamb. I saw it turn the corner as it went into the main street. It was all I saw of the riding."
Alan Marshall continues: "So, through Dame Mary Gilmore, we now know the name of the man who rode the white bull through Wagga. When I was a boy someone chipped us with being the man who rode the bull through Wagga, we always retorted, 'No, I'm the man who rode the crowbar through China without giving it a sore back.'"
And that in turn recalls to mind the rollicking verses by Jack Moses that many of us used to rejoice in when young:
"Years ago, back ever so far,
A bull was ridd'n through Wagga-Wog-ah,
The fact was known in Tar-cut-ta,
And cooded to Car-pen-tar-iar.
And around the world wherever you are
You'll hear of the bull of Wagga-Wog-ah,
How Bidgee Bill with great eclar
Rode the famous bull through Wagga Wog-ah"
The legendary Bidgee Bill must now retire in favour of Mr BUFFREY, not so romantically named, perhaps, but justice must be done.
