PHILPOT philipot IN KENT (Connections to Matsons, Glovers, Leighs Lees)

[UnmentionedHero]

This is a forum about the Philpot or Philipots in Kent area.

This thread has been started as there are a number of trees on Web that maybe inaccurate, part of that could be due to information from various sources that maybe also be wrong.

The Kent area is important as they appear to originate from the area with other possible connections to Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex and London.

Other families have been mentioned with connections in 1500s, 1600s and 1700s.  Matsons, Lee or Leighs, Merriwether, Glover.  It is the connections to these families that are of interest.

There are many other threads that cover the other families in more detail.

I have copied this post from Matson and Lushingtons thread:

MATSONS / PHILPOTS
I have some more information about earlier Matsons, but will involve another thread about Matsons and Philpots.  I have found Henry Philpot's marriage entry and I suspected that Alice (married to James Matson who died in 1593) was probably Henrey / Henry's sister.  Henry's son Thomas Philpot, a Captain mentions Alice and James Matson's son Robert in his will, as his cousen!

Henry as a possible father to Alice and her maiden name as Philpot. I felt this may be wrong and that if any relation, she may have been a sibling of Henry Philpot.  Henry's marriage is well beyond the date of Alice's birth, infact it is just before Alice Marries James Matson at the same church.

This would also back up my hunch of Robert Matson being the nephew of Henry Philpot (Thomas' father).

I have found what I think is James Matson and Alice’s marriage entry.  Based upon my other research into Philpots, I am clear that Alice is in fact Henry's sister in law.  SHe is likely the sister of Henry's Wife Judith (Judith Leigh / Lee, daughter of David Leigh).

This would make James Matson's Wife an  name is Alice Lee or Leigh.  Definite evidence to support this with the Philpot family - tree mentioned in visitations.

I will continue a new thread, as there is rather a lot here, but the marriage place for them is Barham (this ties up with other Matson's who owned Digges Place and the Black Mill etc - John Matson Mayor of Dover).

I will type what I know.

I am curious?
Why did you post this under "Photograph Resources, Tips, Tutorials"?

(I have asked a mod to move this thread to a more suitable board.)
