| Notes |
- Although I have found no definitive proof that Sarah James was the daughter of William James and Patience of Dunkirk, I do believe that those are her parents. After exhaustive searches of over 200 registers of parishes throughout east Kent I can state that the James surname is not a common one. In fact, the only Sarah James christened during the most likely timeframe for a marriage in 1766, is Sarah the daughter of William and Patience. However, I am not entirely discounting the possibility that our Sarah was the daughter of the Joseph James who also appears in Faversham in 1767 for his marriage to Elizabeth Wraight. Joseph James was recorded as having been aged 79 years at the time of his burial in 1802, placing his birth close to the 1723 time period. His wife, Elizabeth (nee Wraight) was 23 years his junior. Having regard to the lack of a marriage for William and Patience and having regard to the assumption that William was himself born circa 1695, there is ample opportunity, for Joseph of Faversham to have been a child of William and Patience of Dunkirk. Joseph did not leave many clues in the naming of his own children, but the name William does continue amongst his own children and down into the next generation.
There is only one other James individual who is noted in the Faversham church registers: Mary James married John Clement there in 1757. That couple had at least one child - Philadephia christened 21 March 1759 in Faversham.
Overall, according to the Land Tax Assessment records there are no James families owning property or residing in Faversham from 1732 through 1762. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the records starting 1763 and continuing through 1779. Joseph James appears as a tenant of Richard Hall, Esq. in property on West Street as of the assessment taken in 1780 and he continued in that occupation until 1793 and possibly beyond. Once again, though, a gap in the records occurs from 1794 through 1830.
