Name Elizabeth STUBBERFIELD Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1706 Otterden, Kent, England - (assumed from baptism)
Baptised 12 Jan 1706/07 St. Lawrence’s Church, Otterden, Kent, England - From the IGI, accessed 15 Jul 2011.
Surname spelt Stubborsfield. Date given as 1706 - I don't know if this is OS or NS
Most Stubbersfield (etc.) were in the Bromley area in NW Kent, a good distance (nearly 40 miles) from Wichling, but this baptism took place in an adjacent parish to Wichling so it has to be a good contender to be the right Elizabeth.
Looking at Hoath register for late C17th (for other names) I happened to notice "Stublefeild"s there.
Gender Female Died Aft 1776 - An Elizabeth Springfield was buried 18 Oct 1741, but it cannot be this one, as, assuming Edward hadn't remarried to another Elizabeth, she was still alive when Edward died in 1776; hence I assume the earlier burial was the mother in law of this Elizabeth.
Notes - Edward's wife Elizabeth was still alive when he wrote his will (1776) - either not this one's death in 1741 or Edward marr 2 Elizabeth's

Father James STUBBERFIELD, b. Abt 1666, East Farleigh, Kent, England , d. Between 1737 and 1762 (Age ~ 71 years)
Mother Margarett PACKINGHAM, b. Between 1666 and 1675, d. 1737, Otterden, Kent, England (Age ~ 71 years)
Married 31 Jul 1690 St. James’ Church, East Malling, Kent, England - Not likely to have married before Margarett was aged 16, which is very unlikely to have been earlier than 1682, and presumably married by time 1st known child baptised in 1692. If dau Margret was the first child, then probably married shortly before this.
Hence the East Malling marriage is a "good fit".
From KFHS CD23, East Malling - entry no. 647, 1690 Jul 31 James STUBBERSFIELD Margarett PACKINGHAM
James and Margaret seem to have moved to Otterden Parish c 1693 and lived there for over 40 years, up to the death of Margaret in 1737.
Since there daugther Elizabeth married yeoman farmer / sometime Wichling churchwarden Edward Springfield I guess they were of similar standing. They may well have farmed at the farm associated with Stubblefield Farmhouse (also marked on OS maps).
