Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Aaron Weston, Mayfield

Hi Jean,

I had an email from Justin Brice of the Sussex Mills Group, who is researching the windmills and was keen to know if I had any information or memorabilia about the Argos Hill windmill.  He has a lot of information about Weston involvement at other Sussex locations too.  If you wanted to get in touch with him, his contact details are on https://www.sussexmillsgroup.org.uk/contact.htm.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Jean,

We've already corresponded about this elsewhere, but I though I would just add what I think are the relevant WikiTree pages for the Eliza Weston (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Saunders-5513) and Luther Weston (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weston-2817) discussed above.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Jean,

It was a great pleasure to find that there was someone interested in this branch of the family and even more so to find that they were descended from the Westons at Argos Mill, which I'm sure you know has recently come to the end of a beautiful restoration project. 

We're quite distant cousins, I think.  My branch of the family left Mayfield for Cranbrook in Kent in the 1660s, but I believe both branches are descended from the Westons living at Highfields Farm and neighbouring Mousehall at Tidebrook, just north-east of Mayfield in the mid 16th century and who appear (along with many other Weston families in the area) as some of the earliest entries in the Mayfield parish register.

If you were interested in joining the WikiTree project and adding information about your family to what I've already done, then I should be extremely grateful and very willing to offer any assistance that I can.

Regards,

Chris.

Kent / Re: Weston, Romney Marsh?

Hi Chris,

I think that the author of your diary is Thomas Weston of Tenterden (1746-1819).  In 1793 he had the following living siblings: Elizabeth (1748-1797), Stringer (1750-1803), Mary (1751-1829), Sarah (1753-1824), Jane (1756-1817), William (1758-1815), George (1761-1801) and Richard (1763-1764); and children Elizabeth Hyland (1771-1846), Harriot (1773-1855), Jane (1776-1863), Thomas (1780-1827), and John Tempest (1784-1848) (my ancestor).

Thomas's widowed mother Elizabeth had lived at Old Wilsley outside Cranbrook until her death in 1788, but Thomas's main property seems to have been Cheyne Court near Ivychurch in Romney Marsh and he was a member of the town corporation of Tenterden.  There is a wall plaque about him in St. Mildred's church there. 

As a descendant, I would be very interested in seeing a copy of  his diary.

Regards,

Ian Christopher Weston.
