Margaret Hickemote nee Henley died and was buried at Goudhurst in Probable children, all baptized at Goudhurst: Joane (1576-6), Thomas (1577), Richard ( ), Mary (1583). 23 Dec 1572 George HICMOTTE/Marie AUSTEN Goudhurst Records in the National Archives mention a George Hickmott of Aylsford, yeoman in Joane (6 May 1576, Goudhurst; Wylliam) Tyler 12 May 1576 Joane HICKMOTE, dau of Wylliam Goudhurst Tyler Thomas (bap 13 Oct 1577, Goudhurst: William)=Margaret Combar in 1601 Richard (bap 13 Aug , Goudhurst: Wylliam) Mary (bap 22 Mar 1583, Goudhurst: Wylham)=Mathew Brown(e) in 1606 Tyler Tyler Tyler 02 Oct 1598 William Henry HICKMOTE/Anne COGGER Cranbrook Although still to be confirmed, we now think that William may have been born at Horsmonden in around 1570, the eldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hickmote nee Kingswoode of that village. He died and was buried at Cranbrook in William s last will and testament indicates that he was a butcher and owned land and properties in both the parishes of Cranbrook and Horsmonden. His properties at Cranbrook were left to his oldest son William (see his details below). Those at Horsmonden were willed to his youngest son Thomas (to be assumed once Thomas reached the age of 26). Susan McAlpinbe tells us that Anne was baptized at Sandhurst in Kent on 18 November 1576, the daughter of Simon Cogger and Agnes Leeche. She and William lived at Cranbrook after their marriage and had nine children there: William ( ), Thomas (1602-3), Mary ( ), Anne ( ), Katherine ( ), Richard (1610), Patience ( ), Elizabeth (1616) and Thomas ( ). Anne was buried at Cranbrook on 3 November 1648). The last will and testament of William junior indicates that his wife was Elizabeth, he had a brother Thomas, and at least six children: William, Thomas, Mary who married Edward Vincle, Judith, Jane Rappon (?) and another daughter who married Edward Glover (?). 26 Nov 1599 Wylliam HICKMOT/Margarett STEPHEN Goudhurst Tyler Wylliam was probably the son of Wylliam and Margaret Hickmote nee Heneley (who were married at Horsmonden in 1568).

Assumed children: Margaret (1602, Horsmonden) and Elizabeth (1604, Horsmonden).

The records of marriage held at Canterbury show that a Francis Hickmott, a mercer of Headcorn, stood bond for George and Elizabeth s marriage. Elizabeth died and was buried at Horsmonden in 1643, George sometime before that (see below).

14 23 Aug 1812 George HICKMETT/Ann MORRIS Cranbrook Wits: Samuel Morris and James Morris. George was born at Cranbrook in 1790, the son of Leonard and Mary Hickmott nee Maynard who were married at Cranbrook in The parish registers show that an Ann Morris was baptized at Cranbrook in 1789 (parents unknown) and another in 1795 (dau of John and Mary Morris). The 1841 shows George (50 year-old agricultural labourer) and Ann (50) living on Milkhouse Street in Cranbrook with their 13 year-old daughter Silvester. An Anna Hickmott, aged 53, was buried at Cranbrook in The 1851 shows the widowed George (61) as a lodger at the home of Hannah Springett (a 53 year-old farmer born in Cranbrook) on Mill Lane in Cranbrook. The 1861 has George (71 year-old widower and farmer of four acres) lodging on Sissinghurst Road in Cranbrook with his son William and his family. We think he died at Cranbrook the same year. Known children: William Morris (1816; Cranbrook) and Sylvester Ann (1827, Cranbrook), 01 Dec 1812 Mary HICKMOTT, 85 Goudhurst nbi 26 Apr 1813 Thomas HICKMOTT/Mary Ann WRAIGHT(?)

Thomas was said to be a farmer of 50 acres ( Pore Farm ). Thomas was the son of Stephen and Elizabeth Hickmott nee Burges. The es and parish registers indicate they had as many as eleven children, all born at Frittenden; Stephen ( ), Thomas (1815), Stephen (1817), James (1819), William (1819), John (1822), James (1825), David (1826), Edward (1827), Mary Ann (1830) and Harriet (1833).

15 (wit: John Hickmott). James was born in 1790 probably in Frittenden (the son of Stephen Hickmott and Elizabeth Burges). We think Ann was born at Biddenden in around 1790 although that has still to be confirmed. Known children: James (1821, Frittenden, William (1823, Maidstone), Leonard (1829, Maidstone) and Charlotte (1833, Maidstone). The 1841 has a James Hickmott (50) living on Water Lane in Maidstone with three of his children: James (20), Leonard (10) and Charlotte (8). The Maidstone parish registers show that James (56 of Water Lane Maidstone) died there in The 1851 has the widowed Ann (60, born either in Kent orlondon) lodging in West Maidstone with Leonard (20 year-old groom) andcharlotte (17 year-old shoe binder).

I am assuming this the right couple since they named one of their daughters Sarah Thirkill (see below). Since they named their first daughter Elizabeth Burges, I am also assuming that John was born at Frittenden in 1793, the son of Stephen Hickmott and Elizabeth Burges. The LDS index shows that an Elizabeth Pennick Thirkle, the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, was baptized at Benenden in The 1851 shows John (56 year-old farmer of 24 acres and grocer born at Frittenden) and Elizabeth (52, Benenden) at Balcombe House in Frittenden with five children, all born at Frittenden: Elizabeth B.

The 1841 shows William (40 year-old farmer) and Lydia (35) at Eastwood in Ulcombe with their two children William (3) and Elizabeth (1) and two servants: Sarah and Sophia Watts.

William (61) and James (59) and William s two children were still there in 1861 plus two servants. William died at Frittenden in Known children: William (1838, Ulcombe), Elizabeth (1840, Ulcombe).

In view of the witnesses, we think that Thomas was the son (born at Frittenden in around 1815) of Thomas and Mary Ann Hickmott nee Wraight (who were married at Frittenden in 1813). We suspect that Elizabeth died at Frittenden in 1838/9 while giving birth to the couple s daughter Emily (who died the same day see below). The 1841 shows Thomas (25 year-old agricultural labourer) living with his parents and siblings at Pore Farm in Frittenden. We think that Thomas later married the widow Alice Bowles in the Cranbrook RD in He and she had a daughter, Mary Ann Hickmott, before John s death at Frittenden in Hannah Hickmott (1837, Frittenden; John & Elizabeth) 17
