    Notes 
    • Fron Nick Stedman:

      Elizabeth Martin (1765 - 1854)

      There were two Elizabeth Martins:

      1. Elizabeth Martin born in Plaxtol (about 7 miles from W Malling). Baptised 23 June 1765 (Ancestral File AFN:TP3Q-20). Father: Francis Martin (app 1733 -1801). Mother: Elizabeth Jeffrey (app 1734 - 1818)

      2. Elizabeth Martin born in W Malling. Baptised 26 April 1767 (IGI Batch C 131591; Source Call 0992509). Father: Edward Martin. Mother: Elizabeth Marshall.

      I have researched a little into the two families and they do not appear to be related.

      James Stedman married the Elizabeth Martin from Plaxtol.

      Evidence:

      a. The marriage record in the Kent County Archives, Maidstone:

      James Stedman of this parish and Elizabeth Martin of this parish a spinster married in this church by Licence 21st January 1788 by me R Husband (vicar) signed James Stedman, Elizabeth Martin (apparently in their own handwriting), in presence of FRANSs MARTIN and (the mark of) MARGARET SPARKS.

      b. The Will of Francis Martin of Plaxtol, Shopkeeper, written on the 30th Jan 1800 and proved at London on the 28th Jan 1801:

      …. Also I do forgive James Stedman of West Malling in the County of Kent, Chemist, and Abraham Phelps of the same place, ? , all and every sum and sums of money as they may be indebted to me at the time of my death. ……

      c. The 1851 Census for West Malling: at 7 High St., W Malling

      Elizabeth Stedman Head of Household, 88, Annuitant, born Plaxtol.
      Sarah Elizabeth Stedman Granddaughter, 28, born Billericay, Essex.

      d. The name Silas was given to the one of James' and Elizabeth's children. This name does not appear to be used by the other (no 2) Martin family. However, Elizabeth Martin of Plaxtol had an elder brother called Silas. He may have died as he is not named in the Will of Francis. The children and approx. birth dates of Francis and Elizabeth were:

      Silas (1759)
      Anne (1761)
      Sarah (1763)
      Elizabeth (1765)
      Mary (1769)
      John (1772)
      William (1775)
      Thomas (1776)
      Francis (1785)
      James 1787)

      All the children are mentioned in the Will except Silas and William. Anne (or Anna) is cited as the wife of Abraham Phelps and Elizabeth is cited as the wife of James Stedman.
