Narrative
"Richard Mockett, son of a notable Kent landowning family married Sarah, daughter of Nicholas Sampson of Reading Street Farm. Richard purchased Hopeville Farm (formerly known as Dumptons) in St. Peter's building their home opposite the church, now called The Old Farmhouse, and bears the initials RMS and the date 1682 above the porch. Their youngest son Isaac built Hopeville House nearby in 1723 and over the next two centuries the Mockett Estate increased to stretch as far as the present St. Peter's recreation ground, with successive heirs becoming leading figures in the Church and 'squires' of the village." (Friends of Mockett's Wood website).
Isaac was the youngest child of six, but one of his brothers died when he was four.
Isaac inherited his father's farm when he was 20 years old, even though he was the youngest son, and in turn he left properties and land to his own three sons in his own will. Isaac's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all called Richard, but Isaac didn't name any of his sons Richard. Did he deliberately breaking away from family tradition for some reason?
Isaac was a batchelor aged 34 when he married Elizabeth who was 22. Their Marriage Licence was for St Margaret, Canterbury or Canterbury Cathedral. Isaac was wealthy, which is supported by his marriage in the Cathedral at Canterbury.
Their first child was a daughter, who was named Elizabeth after her mother. She died when she was three. Their second daughter was named Sarah, after Isaac's mother, and their third daughter, who was born a year after daughter Elizabeth died was named Elizabeth. Their next 3 children were all boys, Isaac was named after his father, Sampson was named after his mother's maiden name, Elijah doesn't seem to be a family name, but neither was Isaac, until his father came up with it. Perhaps Isaac decided to follow a new trend started by his father?
Daughter Elizabeth, married Thomas Sampson. Was he related to Isaac's mother?
