Susan RAYNOR ca. 1610 nr. Faversham..who was she?

[dayvida]

This Susan RAYNOR shows up as recipient of a bequest in the will of Thomas SARE of Linstead, Kent, UK, in 1608. SARE held properties between Faversham and Linstead, including Norton, Doddington, etc. My guess is that she was either born a SARE, or else had a SARE grandparent, most likely Thomas above. Very specific area, between Canterbury and Maidstone. I descend from Susanna Sare, w/o Robert Barham, who was d/o Thomas Sare....hence my interest. Many RAYNERS/ RAYNORS in this neck of the woods in the 1400-1600 timeframe; check the online East Kent Will Index edited by M.J. and D.G. Cozens. url below:

Anyone know who she was?  Confused me initially, as Susanna Sare Barham, d/o of Thomas Sare above, does not receive a legacy in Thomas' will, though she was very much alive.  She and Robert Barham were married in 1594/5, and she was recorded as his widow in 1633.  Again, many Raynors/ Rayners in this area at that approximate time.  She may even have been a neighbor or tenant.

I can't answer your question, but a Thomas Sayer (sic), who died in 1539, owned - at his death - 3 houses in West Street, Faversham, 1 in Tanners Street, Faversham, and 1 in Sturry.   He was probably a tanner.    See "Thomas Arden in Faversham", by Patricia Hyde & Duncan Harrington, p 407.   There are other references to him in this book.
