Hi, I have John Kennett married Susan Webb. He was baptised 2 Aug 1632 and they married 4 Oct 1668 in Wye. His father was also John but I have no other info on his parents. They had a son also John born in Godmersham.
Hi Tracey
This is my John Kennett however the info you have conflicts with what I have.
John was christened on 2 August 1632 in Wye, and was the son of John Kennett [born 1605 I believe] and [possibly] Susan [surname unknown]. John Kennett [known as John Kennett jnr] married Elizabeth Austen on 3 November 1664 at Wye. I have six children listed for them:
Elizabeth Kennett - born October 1665 Wye, Kent died bef 1668
John Kennett - born October 1666 Wye, Kent
Elizabeth Kennett - born November 1668 Wye, Kent - died July 1669 Wye, Kent
William Kennett - born May 1670 Wye, Kent
Thomas Kennett - born and died November 1672 Wye, Kent
Richard Kennett - born October 1673 Wye, Kent
Now in the next generation it gets confusing as there is another Elizabeth Austen in the family as well.
William Kennett [born 1670] is my ancestor. He was married to a woman named Margaret Gibbs and had a son named John born in Wye in 1698. This John married twice, and by his second wife [a widow named Mary Quested] he was the father of my ancestor Lucebeth Kennett [known in records as Lucy Kennett].
William's younger brother Richard Kennett [born 1673] was married twice. Firstly to a woman named Elizabeth Austin [married by Licence in Canterbury on 2 October 1699], and then to a woman named Elizabeth Egerton [married by Licence on 8 July 1710 at Canterbury].
By his first wife he had two sons, Richard [born 1703] and John [born 1707], and by his second wife his had three more children, William [1711], Egerton [1712] and Catherine [1712].
John Kennett mentioned at the start of this post [born 1632] died in 1695 and left a Will. His wife Elizabeth AUSTEN died in 1675. Most of the information I have on these comes from Wills and other sources so I will update you with more info as soon as I can.
The name Susan Webb is familiar but I can't find a link to the Kennetts. Interestingly I do have Webb connections on my dad's side of the family in that area. Do you know any more about Sarah's parents or family?
I have no info on any John Kennetts born in Godmersham myself.
Btw the Austen/Austin family are quite extensive and I have a lot of wills for them. A lot of the info that helped put this tree together has come from the trees of the Austens as well as the Kennetts.
I will update you shortly with more details.
