  • Notes 
    • Although at this time I am unable to prove that the Lucy Austen who married Thomas Jones is Lucy Horstin (nee Ruck, formerly Smith). I have a suspicion that this is in fact the case. The marriage record indicates that Lucy Austen was a widow and that both parties were of Faversham. Witnesses on the marriage of Lucy Austen and Thomas Jones were Edward K. Smith and Hart Chapman, which do not help.

      Thomas Jones remarried on 4 March 1821 a Frances Smith. He remarried at Faversham but was described as being a widower of Oare. I can find no Will for either Thomas Jones or Lucy Jones and will now have to follow-up in Oare parish registers post-1812 as well as census returns to try to track this family more closely.
