John KITCHENHAM
(1744-?)
and Elizabeth MITCHELL (c1745)

John Kitchenham and Elizabeth Mitchell were married by banns
on 14 January 1767 in Rotherfield, Sussex. They were both then of
Rotherfield. (They were not my direct ancestors.)
John Kitchenham was baptised on 2 June 1744 in Rotherfield. He
was the son of
William Kitchenham
(1714-?) and
Mary Dadswell (1707-1777). John may have built a
tenement and 3 dwellings on ground adjoining Frog's Hole in Rotherfield,
which by 23 February 1847 were occupied by Emanuel Adams, William
Mepham and Thomas Martin. On 17 May 1766 a bastardy bond
was issued to John Kitchenham of Rotherfield, binding him to pay £50
for the maintenance of a child to be born to Mary Bridger of
Rotherfield, of which John was said to be the reputed father.
Elizabeth Mitchell's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to
me.
