Name Richard HUNT Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1732 Lenham, Kent, England - (assumed from baptism)
Baptised 29 May 1732 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England Gender Male Court 4 Sep 1778 - The Winchelsea Corporation Records have an affidavit in a plea of debt for one Henry Ottaway of Smarden in Kent, carpenter, against Richard Hunt late of Lenham in Kent, carpenter, in £11 12s for oak laths sold and delivered by Henry Ottaway.
(East Sussex Record Office, ref. WIN/396)
Court 8 Sep 1778 - The Winchelsea Corporation Records have a precept and recognizance for one George Stace, sergeant at mace, and Benjamin Tree, bailiff, to produce the body of [Rich]ard Hunt, late of Lenham [in Kent], carpenter, to answer a plea of trespass on the property of Henry Ottaway, with damage to the value of £23 4s; bail £11 12s
(East Sussex Record Office, ref. WIN/386)
Occupation Carpenter [1] - A bill of work from 1772 shows work done to repair the church by Richard the carpenter.
Died May 1796 Lenham, Kent, England - (assumed from burial)
Buried 9 May 1796 St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England - I did have this as possibly 1809, data from someone else, but having seen the KFHS transcript (CD 25) it is apparent it wasn't that burial as that Richard was aged 45.
Age was given as 60 for the one who died in 1796 - not quite accurate but close enough that I believe it was most likely this Richard.
Notes - "widower of Lenham" when marr to ES. Mentioned in his father's will (1771)
