History FROGGATT Samuel (1721-1814), originally from Calver, married in 1751. Baptism records confirm his presence at Moorside in 1754. His mother, Elizabeth nee WHITE was born in Baslow. The Whites were an affluent Baslow family: My hunch is that the White's were the original tenants of the farm and Samuel inherited it through his mother.

Samuel's third son Hezekiah (b1763) succeeded to the tenancy in 1813. Hezekiah died without children and was succeeded by his nephew, Benjamin (b1802)

Samuel's youngest son Jason (b1770) became the tenant of Robin Hood Farm 1 (see below). Jason's eldest son Benjamin was the one who took over Moorside Farm.
