John Hickmott was the third son of the yeoman farmer Thomas Hickmott (1651-c1714) and his wife Mary Masters (1648- ). He was born in Horsemonden in Kent in 1684 and married Ann Russell in East Farleigh in Kent in 1713. Ann, whose parents were Stephen and Anne Russell, was born in Horsmonden in 1697. Following his father’s death in 1714, John was given sole access to eighty acres of land known as the ‘Kettles’, as well as joint access to two allotments known as Castoins Field and the Great Tutchburys. All were located in the vicinity of Lamberhurst (see Wendy Beckett’s website for the full text of Thomas’ will). This led John and his family to move, in around 1722, from Horsemonden where they were then living to Lamberhurst where their remaining children were baptised and where both John and Ann eventually died and were buried (in 1750 and 1754 respectively). The couple seem to have had twelve children altogether: Susan, John, Thomas, Ann, Joseph, William, Russell, Richard, Mary, Timothy and two Elizabeths. To date we have been able to follow, to varying degrees, the lives and times of only three of these and their families and descendants: John, Thomas and Russell.
