Fright family in Kent c1700

[hellenbysshe]

Probably unrelated, but a John Fright was living in Newnham near Faversham in 1771, married Eliz. Elliott in that year and had son James born 1783 in Newnham.

According to the transcriptions of the Kent Family History Society both St Laurence and St Mary's, Minster have entries for the marriage.

St Laurence - Abraham Fright and Ann Payne 8 Feb 1713/14 both said to be of the Parish.
St Mary Minster - Abraham Fright and Ann Pain 8 Feb 1714 both of the Parish of St Laurence!

The date confusion 1713/14 probably due to the Ecclesiastical year running form Lady Day to Lady Day and not from 1 Jan to 31 Dec.

The couple had 9 children baptised in St Laurence between June 1715 and 1736.

Hi
I am new to this forum and am looking for any details of Abraham Fright born some time around 1710 married to Elizabeth ?
They were the parents of John Fright 1746 - 1794, married to  Sarah ?. Who in turn, were the parents of John Fright 1787 - 1830 who I have tracked back to myself born in 1933

Any help will be appreciated
Regards
David

I have an Abraham Fright in my tree baptised in Wickhambreux, Kent, on 4th January 1711.
He was the son of John Fright and Pleasant Fright née Johncock.
I'm afraid that I have no further information about Abraham as I am descended from his brother Stephen.
I do have a small amount of info about his parents and siblings if you are interested.

I have not found a baptism for Abraham Fright.

However are we looking for the Abraham Fright buried at Graveney on 17 September 1784 aged 73 and said to be a Labourer? 

If so, there is another burial in that Parish dated 17 April 1782 of an Elizabeth Fright aged 69.

Apart from a burial of a young maiden Susan Fright in 1719 and a much later marriage, there appears to be no connection with that Parish!

There is a marriage dated 21 October 1744 at Faversham between Abraham Fright and Elizabeth Drury.  This is followed by the baptisms of three children, Abraham in 1745,  John16 November 1746 and lastly Pleasant in 1748.  All at Faversham.

Then on 1 October 1769 John Fright marries Sarah Goodgroom, again at Faversham.  John and Sarah had seven children baptised at Faversham, between 1770 and 1787.

Hope this helps in some small way.

Hi Tony

I can't speak for David (Frightful) but you have filled in a space in my tree!
Given the name of Abraham and Elizabeth Drury's daughter (Pleasant) I'm sure this is the right branch.
They do seem to wander around.  I have John sr. and Pleasant's first child born in Elmstone.  The baptism for Abraham I have is in Wickhambreaux.  the next child who appears to have been buried unnamed (or the christian name is not recorded) was also born and buried in Wickhambreaux. Then daughter Pleasant in St. Nicholas at Wade, and finally Stephen (my ancestor) in Monkton.
I'm afraid that my knowledge of the geography of the region is scant and I don't know if all these villages are close together.

Bev

P.S: FamilySearch shows another baptism,
Drury Fright son of Abraham and Elizabeth christened on 2nd February 1752 at Luddenham.  Yet another village in the puzzle.
