Mary BEKEN
Set As Default Person -
Name Mary BEKEN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 13 Aug 1797 All Saints’ Church, Biddenden, Kent, England
- KFHS transcript, CD 24
Shows Mary as the dau of Benjamin and Deborah - but the only Ben and Deb I know of would have been too old for her to be born about 1797! Was there another Benjamin and Deborah (seems unlikely), OR is the date wrong OR Mary baptised as an adult? OR - and I think most likely, Mary was the dau of Benjamin and Martha.
Gender Female Died Yes, date unknown
Siblings3 brothers and 7 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch
James BACON, bur. 10 Mar 1648/49, St. Dunstan’s Church, Cranbrook, Kent, England
(3 x Great Grandfather) 
Martha COX, b. Abt 1754, d. 18 Sep 1835, Biddenden, Kent, England
(Age ~ 81 years) (Mother) 
Notes - I assume that Mary's first 2 daughters were also the daughters of Stephen due to their middle name.
Stephen and Mary's had 5 other children baptised in Biddenden between 1825 and 1835 although they were then living in Beckley, near Rye in Sussex (although in the next county Beckley is only about 11 miles from Biddenden).
