Fright family in Kent c1700

[Frightful]

Hi Tony and Bev
Thank you both, I shall get back to you when I'm back home after the weekend but you have both been helpful. I did find that 'my' Abraham's wife Elizabeth's maiden name was Drury. There's also other bits that go together which I will check with my notes next week.

I''m so glad I found this site.
Kind regards
David

My geography of that area is a bit rusty.  I went to school in Faversham in the early 1960s and the Art Block (as it was known) backed onto the Churchyard Wall of the Parish Church.  I am now more familiar with Monkton and the Isle of Thanet.

Luddenham and Graveney both are parishes, if not bordering, very close to Faversham.

Drury is a name I have come across in another nearby Parish, Boughton under Blean.  Not sure if your Elizabeth comes from there but I will have a look.

Hi there Tony and Bev

@Tony, it looks like the Abraham buried in 1784 will be the one that Bev has, born in 1711. This ties in nicely with Elizabeth Drury being buried in the same place. One of the offspring, John, born in 1746 is on my tree and is shown as married to Sarah Goodgroom.

@Bev You have given me the parents of Abraham who was as far as I had got in that direction: John and Pleasant ( what a lovely name ). I can now research them and hopefully get enough to include them in my tree. Any details you have of them would be really helpful.

Thank you both very much for your help.
Kind regards
David

I have Richard Johncock marrying Elizabeth Fanting in Herne on 3rd May 1683. (d.o.b.'s unknown)
Their children found so far:
Pleasant  m. John Fright  26th December 1707 in Elmstone.
Richard
Thomas m. Susannah Harrison and had a lot of Fright children in Chislet.
All three children baptised in September 1686 as a 'job lot', so I don't know the year of their birth.

At Ickham there are four baptisms for Fright children to Laurence and Mary, unfortunately there is no John!

Abraham 1666
Edward 1670
Laurence 1674
Mary 1681

Most if not all of these have been mis-transcribed in various ways.

These are followed by a marriage (dated 1702 April 19) of Abraham Fright to Elizabeth Baker at Ickham and both are said to be of the Parish.

I have looked again at the marriage of John Fright to Pleasant Johncock in 1706 and cannot decipher the month but realise that is after July; previous marriage. 

Nothing really of help but it does confirm Frights in the area.
