My Tester Ancestors

A 5x Great Grandmother was Mary Tester who was born in Burwash, Sussex in 1747. She married William Kitchenham (1750-1829) in Ticehurst, Sussex in 1777, and they settled and raised their family in Wadhurst, Sussex. Mary was also buried in Wadhurst in 1825. She was the daughter of Edward Tester and Frances Monk who had married in Burwash in 1746. The couple raised their family in Burwash, although Edward was born in Framfield, Sussex in 1723. His father, William Tester, was also from Framfield as were the two preceding generations.

William Tester, who was born in 1702, married Susanna Plaw in 1722 in East Hoathly, Sussex. The couple had 3 children, the first in Framfield and the second two in Mayfield, Sussex. He was the son of another William Tester was born 1675 in Framfield and buried there in 1726. I believe he married Barbara Masiere in 1696, but I can not be certain that they were the parents of the William born in 1702, as it has been difficult to work out who was whom.
