- SOURCE RECORD:
1. Leland Duncan, Monumental Inscription (England, Kent: Kent Archaeological Society, http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk), Bethersden, Kent, England, 1829.
"George SMALL of this parish yeoman, 15 August 1829 aged 78. Mary his wife 7 January 1814 aged 43. Leaving 7 sons and 2 daughters George, Charles, James, William, Edward, Elias, Thomas, Phebe and Mary. Martha their daughter 2 March 1810 aged 16 years."
The above monumental inscription relates to George Small, the son of William Small and Mary (nee Small). This George Small, therefor, would have been the grand-uncle of Lewis Small.
Partial proof of the parentage of Lewis comes by way of this monumental inscription which lists the children of George Small and Mary (nee Gurr). At the same time as this family was living at and having children at Bethersden, there was also the family of George Small and Mary (nee Smith). The Bishop's Transcript of Bethersden contains a number of christening entries that simply do not record the parents' names. Even if those entries had borne the typical style of recording, there would still be argument as to which George and Mary Small couple had which children. Therefore, this monumental inscription serves well the need for differentiating between the two George and Mary Small families. A further monumental inscription at Bethersden for William Small and Elizabeth Bingham also serve to identify some of the Bishop's Transcript christening entries that bear no parents names.
