In 1803 Robert purchased the Horsey Estate from Sir G.B. Brograve and
others, when it was of little value, being generally flooded. By repairing the sea-bank, draining the marshes,
planting quickthorn hedges, and making a road to Somerton, he rendered it one of the most fertile estates in the
county.
In 1800 Robert married Mary PRESTON (b.1776; d.1862), and had 4 children:
- Robert, b.1802; d.1885
- William, b.1803; d.1805

- John, b.1816; d.1817
in 1830 Robert married Elizabeth PARISH (b.1807; d.1882) and had 6
children:
- Mary Elizabeth (b.1831; d.1834)
- Emily Caroline (b.1833)
- Robert Arthur (b.1836)
- Edward Cartwright (b.1840; d.1851)
- Capt. Charles Compton (b.1841; d.1913) who married Catherine Ursula REYNARD
(b.1847; d.1890)
- Thomas Alfred (b.1843)
Capt Charles Compton Rising married Catherine Ursula Reynard of Sunderlandwick
Yorks in December Quarter,1874 at St George Hanover Square,
London.
They had one son:
Francis Simon Rising (b.1878; d. 1940).
Catherine died 8th December 1890 at Horsey. There is a Commemoration stained glass window to her memory, in
Horsey Church.
Not long after the
death of his wife, Capt CC took up with Ellen, the wife of Jonathon Gedge, the Millman. She was born Ellen
Seymour in Littler Munden, Herts 20th Jan 1859 and married John Gedge at Horsey 23rd March 1880, John and Ellen
had two sons, both born at Horsey, Frederick, and George his brother.
Captain CC, paid Jonathon Gedge a sum of money, this in 1891-2, and then
took Ellen and her two sons away with him. They lived in Norwich for a time where two children were born, Frank
Rising ,and Helen Rising They then all moved to Stradbroke, Suffolk,where a farm was purchased (Seymours Farm).
Here two more children were born: Robert, who was registered Seymour b 1896,and Elizabeth registered Rising b
1899.
It was from this place that Frank Rising (Capt first child to Ellen) and Ellens'
two sons to J Gedge now known as Seymour , (Ellens maiden name) were entered into Framlingham College as
boarders.
In 1907 Capt CC was living with
Ellen and family at Withipole St Ipswich. It was in Ipswich in 1913 that he died.
Sometime in 1914, Ellen ,who had not actually married Capt Rising, moved to
Ontario Canada with all her children except one, Frederick - he remained in
Ipswich. Ellen, when she went out to Canada, took along Capt Risings
ashes, He lays alongside her in Culross Cemetery, Ontario.
The illegitimate descendants of Captain CC are still well and truly kicking along in
Canada.
