John Waite

b. 3 May 1682, d. 1732

Parents:

Father: Edward Waite b. 11 Jan 1647, d. 1720
Mother: Elizabeth (?) d. 1714
Last Edited: 31 Dec 2021
  • Baptism*: John Waite was baptized on 3 May 1682 at Leigh, Kent, EnglandB.1,2
  • He was the son of Edward Waite and Elizabeth (?)
  • Anecdote*: The marriage of John Waite and Jane Hadlow in East Malling, Kent in 10 May 1710 seems the logical fit here. Their children's names are consistent with the family and the other contender, John Waite bap. 1687 at Tonbridge son of William, has been shown to have married Elizabeth Low based on his age given for their marriage allegation.
  • Marriage*: John Waite married Jane Hadlow on 10 May 1710 at East Malling, Kent, EnglandB.3
  • Death*: John Waite died in 1732 at Tonbridge, Kent, EnglandB.4
  • Burial*: John Waite was buried on 11 February 1732 at Tonbridge, Kent, EnglandB.4
  • Probate: His estate was probated on 14 February 1733/34 at Archdeaconry of Rochester, Kent, England, (Kent History Centre - DRa/Pi16/8.)5
  • Anecdote: John Waite's probate was investigated by Gillian Rickard who found that administration of his estate was granted to his wife Jane, with a probate inventory dated 14 February 1732 and presented to the court on 22 March 1733. It survives amongst the records of the Archdeaconry Court of Rochester (Kent History Centre: Dra/Pi 16/8). The value of his estate came to £505 6s 6d, a large sum for the time (being the eldest surviving son of an eldest surviving son probably helped!). A detailed inventory of his estate apparently survives, but has not been sighted although it is mentioned in Chalklin's 1962 paper "The Rural Economy of a Kentish Wealden Parish 1650-1750".5
  • Anecdote: A Lease and Release document dated 9th & 10th October 1758 relating to Jane Waite and her sons exists in the Lancashire Archives (DDK/1122/26 & 27). There are various other documents relating to John and Jane Waite (DDK/1122/26-32) including one mentioning John Waite and dated 10 May 1732 (DDK/1122/32). These have yet to be investigated. Of interest is whether she had a son William as he would be a candidate for the will of William Waite made 1795.6

  • Baptism*: Samuel King was baptized on 16 February 1795 at St Michael's, Plumpton, Sussex, EnglandB.1,2
  • He was the son of Benjamin King and Mary Buckman.
  • Marriage*: Samuel King married Lucy Knight, daughter of James Knight and Mary Attree, on 1 February 1823 at Ovingdean, Sussex, EnglandB, Samuel is "of West Firle."3
  • Anecdote*: Regarding their daughter Jane King, Michael George writes: I am descended from Jane King b1826 in Brighton, and I have never found a baptism for her. Because of this and the fact she married in 1846 she does not show up with Lucy and Samuel. I wonder if there are other children born between 1823 when they wed and 1828 when they started having some of their children baptised in the Dorset Street Chapel in Brighton, that like Jane do not show up?
    Jane married John Henry Dickson on 15th June 1846 at St Johns Paddington,and her father is listed as Samuel King,stonemason.
    ... We have a letter written at the time of Lucy Kings death in 1871,sent to John Swift, talking of Lucys passing, and mentions aunts Eliza and Harriet. Eliza I know wed a Southerwood and had two children that died. We have a photo of her and a number of Jane. I have not been able to trace Harriet other than her appearance on the 1851 census, frustratingly they dont appear on the 1841, or1861. The letter says Lucy was buried in Brompton cemetary, but i'm not sure if Samuel was buried there.
