Family Abigail FORDRED, d. Yes, date unknown Marriage License 5 Mar 1699/00 - Hawkes, John, of Petham. ba., and Abigail Fordred of Hackington, spr. At Hackington or Crundale. March 5, 1699
(Cowper, 4th Series, col. 275)
Married 7 Mar 1699/00 St. Stephen’s Church, Hackington, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 7 Aug 2015)
"John Hawkes of Petham and Abigail Fordred of St Stephens were marryed } March.7 1699." - under heading '1699'
Thomas, probably John and Abigail's first child was baptised in Hastingleigh - perhaps this was where Abigail's family then lived. By 1704 they were in the neighbouring parish of Elmstead and appear to have remained there until John's death some 20 years later. However, when daughter Abigail married she was 'of Hastingleigh' so perhaps the family or some of it moved there, possibly to Abigail (the mother's) relations, after losing their husband and father.
John and William inherited property from their grandfather in 1728, and this is probably why they were 'of Petham' at the time of their marriages in the 1730s.
