Kent / PHILPOT philipot IN KENT (Connections to Matsons, Glovers, Leighs Lees)
« on: Thursday 09 March 17 23:33 GMT (UK)  »
This is a forum about the Philpot or Philipots in Kent area.

This thread has been started as there are a number of trees on Web that maybe inaccurate, part of that could be due to information from various sources that maybe also be wrong.

The Kent area is important as they appear to originate from the area with other possible connections to Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex and London.

Other families have been mentioned with connections in 1500s, 1600s and 1700s.  Matsons, Lee or Leighs, Merriwether, Glover.  It is the connections to these families that are of interest.

There are many other threads that cover the other families in more detail.

Kent / Matson and Lushington Family research
« on: Friday 27 January 17 21:42 GMT (UK)  »
I am interested in Matson and Lushington's.  Doverog et all won't find the marriage entry for Susanna Lushington and James in Hougham or Alkham, as they married in Hawkinge.

I have looked but cannot find it's actual image, but the East Kent Records state:

Kent, East Kent Marriage Index 1538-1754:
Groom: James Matson,
Born: 1663,
Age: 25,
Occupation: Yeoman,
Residence: Hougham,
Marriage Date: 31 May 1688,
Marriage place: Hawkinge,
Bride: Sus Lushington,
Born: 1668,
Age: 20, Residence: Alkham


It mentions nothing of the parents being deceased.  I guess Canterbury archives may have the record.  Also thye had al ot of children and a lot died.  THe digitised records are from terrible poor copies of Baptisms at Hougham, but last child was Baptised at St Margaret's at Cliffe (almost impossible to read).  For example I found three James (two previous died) and two Mary's (one died).  Also had two set of twins (one lot boys and other girls).

I have three James, two Mary, one Elizabeth (Twin to Mary, both twins died days old), Stephen, Susanna, Sara, Will (William I assume), Nathaniel (spelt Nathanawell) and Jane.

These children aren't in order.  James and Stephen were twins. 

Marriage place:
31 May 1688 • St Michael's Church, Hawkinge, Kent, England


I suspect James parents are James and Mary of Sibertswold (Sheprdswell).  This probably explains why James and Susanna named their children James and Mary repeatedly.

Any other info will be greatly received.
