  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Thomas BECON,   b. Abt 1480,   d. Yes, date unknown  (5 x Great Grandfather)  Catherine BOURNE,   bap. 12 Mar 1730/31, St. Margaret’s Church, Hothfield, Kent, England ,   bur. 10 Jan 1807, St. Bartholomew’s Church, Bobbing, Kent, England  (Age ~ 75 years)  (Mother)
  Notes	Sometime between 1772 and 1775 Thomas' mother and step-father appear to have moved to Bobbing (i.e. after having a son baptised in Borden in 1772 they had 2 baptised in Bobbing, baptised in 1775 and 1778). (Research):I wasn't sure who Thomas' parents were - now found, thanks to Lucy Beacon

  Father	Thomas BECON,   b. 1711, Kent, England ,   bur. 5 Dec 1767, St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Borden, Kent, England  (Age ~ 56 years)
  Mother	Catherine BOURNE,   bap. 12 Mar 1730/31, St. Margaret’s Church, Hothfield, Kent, England ,   bur. 10 Jan 1807, St. Bartholomew’s Church, Bobbing, Kent, England  (Age ~ 75 years) Other Partners: John PATEMAN  m. 12 Apr 1772
  Married	Abt 11 Oct 1751	St. Mary Bredin Church, Canterbury, Kent, England
  	Date and place of marriage not certain, however the marriage licence shows it was to be in Canterbury; marriages in Canterbury were often on the day that the licence was issued. It gives an option of 2 churches; the marriages registers for St. Margaret's for this period are online - it appears NOT to have been there. That suggests it was at the other, St. Mary Bredin (PR entries for this church at this period not found online)
  Marriage License	11 Oct 1751	Canterbury, Kent, England
  	Thos Beacon of Sittingbourne maltster bach (36) & Cath Boorne (Bourn) of Egerton sp (21), at St Mgt or St Mary Bredin Cant. 11 Oct 1751. (from volume 29, Canterbury Marriage Licences, 1751-1780, as recorded on Ancestry; viewed 14 August 2014)

  Family	Martha ROPER,   bap. 31 Mar 1755, St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England ,   d. 1827  (Age ~ 71 years)  Other Partners: William CRAFT  m. 24 Oct 1773
  Married	19 Nov 1786	St. Bartholomew’s Church, Bobbing, Kent, England
  	There was a marriage of a Thomas Beacon to Martha Croft on 19 Nov 1786 at Bobbing (by banns) - was it this couple, Martha being a widow?  I'm now fairly sure it was. Martha's will shows her brother was a Roper, and a Martha Roper of Bredgar married William Craft (by licence) on 24 Oct 1773 of a William Craft to Martha Roper of Bredgar at Tunstall. Both Thomas and Martha were buried at Bobbing so they clearly had a link with that village.
