• Notes

  The information in the following paragraph circumstantially supports a marriage I have today (February 14, 2018) discovered in the parish registers for Christ Church, Canterbury as follows: "John Hermon of Milton and Mary Preston of Seasalter were married by licence 10 Oct 1709. " The licence mentioned is NOT an Archdeacon's licence so I will have to dig into perhaps the Allegations. It is not specified which Milton John Hermon was from - Milton-Canterbury or Milton-Sittingbourne. From the land tax assessments for Faversham it appears that there was one primary Iveson family headed by "widow" Iveson from approximately 1746 onwards. At that time Widow Iveson was shown as landlord of certain property in the town and it is interesting to note that as of 1748 her tenant became one John Herman. John Herman remained in that same property through to 1762. Given that Elizabeth Ivyson married Matthew Herman it is tempting to entertain the idea that Elizabeth had been "widow" Iveson's daughter and Matthew had been John Herman's son, brother or nephew. However, it is equally interesting to note that no assessment, as either landlord or tenant, appears in Faversham for Matthew Herman and his wife, Elizabeth (nee Ivyson). Did this couple live with a relative or did they occupy property that was outside the bailiwick of town assessments, such as manorial property. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harman, George, of Minster in Sheppy, husb., ba., about 26 and Susan Rugles, s.p., virgin, about 27, d. of William Rugles, sp. who consents.

In 1584 a certificate of exchange is given by John Child of Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppy, a mariner, whereby he agreed to sell to the Corporation of Queenborough Borough certain lands that lay between the house of Thomas Herman, the town hall, the street and the common. [KA ref Qb/ZB/24] In 1613 Nicholas Herman was summoned to appear before the Court of Wards and Liveries. [KA U269/O282/6] This case apparently persisted for some time as in 1625 a letter was sent from Nicholas Herman to Henry Eyre concerning the case. [KAU269/C236] Then in 1629 this same Nicholas Herman is granted property in Gloucestershire that was to be held in trust for Lionel Cranfield, the 1st Earl of Middlesex [KA U269/T175] Then, apparently as a reward for long and faithful service this same Nicholas Herman was leased property in Fulham, Middlesex in 1631 by the Cranfield family. He then, in turn, assigned the lease to Joan Greville according to the Earls instructions in 1635. [KAU269/T103] Nicholas Herman is still operating as agent for the Cranfield family in 1638 when he brings an action against certain people in Kent for cutting underwood and hunting deer on the Earls properties in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.
