Kinsett/Kensett & Rhodes of Shipley Parish

[OneBigFamily]

Then again, I could be wrong....

I just found another marriage of a Philip Kensett to a Jane.

The Philip who was bro in law to James Botting at the time James Botting made his will (1810) is more likely to be the Philip Kensett who married Jane Turner...

Philip Kensett, marriage to Jane Turner - 09 SEP 1804   Billingshurst, Sussex, England (IGI extracted record).

I thought I was stretching the years a bit...

Whether they were one and the same Philip Kensett though, I wouldn't be able to tell as yet, and thinking about it the James Bottings were probably not the same... not if James made his will in 1810.

Have now just found:

A2A - Philip misdescribed as 'Phipip':

Conveyance  SAS-OR/172  15 Dec 1846
These documents are held at West Sussex Record Office
Contents:
By Phipip Kensett, by direction of Elizabeth Botting, widow, James Botting and Elizabeth Burtenshaw, who ratify and confirm, to William Borrer junr. with William Beeching and William Ede as parties of the 3rd. part, - for £575 - of a piece of land containing ½ acre in Cowfold And Assignment by the said William Beeching and William Ede of the Mortgage of 24 Jun 1818 (SAS-OR/161) to Edward Cornford in trust for William Borrer, to attend and wait upon the inheritance of the freehold

Would this indicate Philip Kensett who married Jane Turner was the one who was alive in 1846?

Hi Omega & OneBigFamily,
I am absolutely gobsmacked at the mass of information you have provided me on the Kensett family, and their marriages, since my initial 'sketchy' posting exactly one week ago today!!  I am also full of admiration for the time you have taken to be precise in all aspects of detail in your postings and it seems all that is left for me is to simply stitch the information together to reach as far back as 1769 and possibly '62!!
Tremendous sleuthing and very many thanks for giving-up your valuable time on my behalf.
PS.... I thought I had posted a similar appreciation earlier tonight but I am at a loss to know where it went!  Anyway, if you eventually receive it, all to the good.
Thank you and I will, in time, post my effort on my interpretation of your information for
comment, if I may.

You are welcome

I'm going to post Philip's resume in a minute but have been a bit side tracked having spotted the Agate surname as the surname of Jane Rhodes mother.

My Philip Kensett (from my extended tree, who married a Mildred) had a brother William (born abt 1757) who corresponded with a Thomas Agate, a senior member of the Agate family who had emigrated to Sparta in the States.

From The Story of the Free Christian Church Horsham by Emily Kensett, on page 101 there is a reference to a letter from Thomas Agate [of Sparta, USA] in 1831, to "Mr Wm Kensett, Slaugham, nr Horsham, Old England" where he wrote ... "I was sorry to hear of the death of your wife...".  (William's wife Mary died in 1827, so their correspondence to each other could have been sparce).

I was just drifting off wondering if Jane Agate, wife of William Rhodes, (parents of Jane Rhodes) was related to Thomas Agate....
