  • Notes 
    • Witnesses on Thomas' marriage were Hannah Haywood and John Benstead.

      Hannah Haywood is suspected to be a cousin of Elizabeth Collard. Hannah married Thomas Sibon on 20 February 1804 at Faversham. Their witnesses were Mary Slaughter and Elizabeth Hills. Thomas Sibon died post-1851. As of the 1841 census Thomas and Hannah were living at 20 West Street, Faversham with two children, John aged 25 and Martha aged 20. Both Hannah and Thomas were shown as being 60 years old. Hannah was buried 24 August 1849 at age 67 years, placing her birth year circa 1782. She was still residing on West Street at that time. As of 1851 Thomas was widowed and living with his daughter Martha then aged 34. They are shown on page 26, district 3C. This Thomas was buried at Faversham on 29 Sept 1870 at age 90. Thomas and Hannah christened Jane at Godmersham on 24 June 1804. It appears that Jane was buried at Faversham at age 2 on 8 July 1806.

      Thomas Sibon was christened at Faversham 20 Feb 1780 to Thomas and Sarah (nee Macklin, married at Faversham by licence 3 April 1777). Thomas and Sarah also had Robert, Elizabeth, Hester, Lydia, Sarah, John and Catherine at Faversham. The father Thomas Sibon was christened at Ospringe 14 Mar 1750 to Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas and Elizabeth also had Hannah, Esther, Robert, John, Sarah and Elizabeth. It may be that the patriarch of this family was also named Thomas who with his wife Esther or Hester was baptising children at Faversham during 1710s and 1720s. Hester was buried at Faversham on 23 Dec 1764. There is a baptism of a Thomas Sybon at Faversham on 23 Jan 1723 to Thomas and Hester. There is a burial for an elderly Thomas Sibon at Faversham on 23 Nov 1818 at age 98 placing this individual's birth year circa 1720.

      This christening has been checked in the Bishop's and Archdeacon's Transcripts as well as in the original parish register. In each of the registers the child's name has been recorded as James. However, I believe that James was an error made by the cleric. There were only two baptisms on that date. Both children were male. The other child's name was recorded as Thomas. I have attempted to trace the movements of the other family to determine if on a subsequent marriage or burial of that child his name was recorded as James or Thomas. Certainly, there is no further mention of a James Ruck being associated with this family at Faversham at any other time. No James Ruck was married at Faversham or in the surrounding parishes. Neither was there a burial of a James Ruck at Faversham or at the surrounding parishes. Efforts are ongoing to attempt to determine if this question can be resolved through other documentation. The militia list has been examined as well for the era. Although George Ruck, this Thomas' brother, does appear, Thomas/James does not appear as at that time he would have been ineligible for service based on his young family structure.

      The cause of death is now known as gangrene and was likely due to diabetes - a disease which runs through the descendants of Edward Gregory and Ann Ruck.
