Antecedents of Thomas COGGER ? |
||
Data from Kent Archives
We have examined Manorial records, Parish registers and Church wardens'
accounts. The condition of some of these together with the combination
of old English script and Latin used in the Manorial records them has at this
point brought us to a halt. From the tantalising glimpses we have seen
through the fog, it appears that there were COGGERS in the Wrotham area at
least as early as the 15th century and several generations of these had the Christian
name "Thomas". Set out below is the information we gleaned
from the Kent Archive in April 2007:
