I found that I had connected the family with the wrong Stephen Mockett and so have had to revise this blog. Having written so much, I thought I would not just delete it and this is the tree descending from John Mockett Jnr and Mary Marsh, through their son John Mockett who married Faithful Hammond.
———————————
John Mockett and Faithful Hammond
John, who was born in 1669 in Deal, Kent, married Faithful Hammond on 7th November 1698 in Capel Le Fearne, Kent.
John and Faithful had the following children
- Elizabeth Mockett who was born in 1698 in Deal, Kent
- Margaret Mockett born in 1700 in Deal, Kent
- John Mockett who was born in 1705 in Deal. He died in 1706
- John Mockett born in 1707 in Deal. John married Hannah Martin and died on 25th December 1733 in Deal
- Nicholas Mockett born in 1712. Nicholas married Ann Barber on 7th February 1738. I have found that a Nicholas Mockett and his wife Ann and four children, were relocated from St Lawrence to Deal in March 1745 and believe that it may well be this Nicholas. He was a husbandman. If someone fell on hard times and were unable to support themselves they were sent back to their home parish so that they could be paid for by (as in this case Deal) and not the one that they had moved to.
- Mary Mockett born in 1715 in Deal
- Richard Mockett born in 1710 in Ripple, Kent. He married Mary Mackney on 5th October 1734 in Great Mongeham, Kent. Mary died in 1769 in Ripple. I cannot be sure but I think he died in 1770 in Ripple.
Faithful died in 1741 and was buried on 19th May 1741 in Deal at St Georges Church.

Nicholas Mockett and ann Barber
Nicholas (1712-1754) was born to John and Faithful Mockett in Deal. He married Ann Barber (1704-1788) on 7th February 1738 when he was aged 26.
Ann was born in 1704 – the daughter of John Barber (1680-) and Elizabeth, his wife
Nicholas and Ann had the following children:
- A daughter Mary, who was born in 1741 in Deal. This is quite a time after they married so I imagine that there may well have been more that either died or I have not found.
- John Mockett who was born in 1742 in Great Mongeham. He married Elizabeth Dewell. Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Martha Dewell and was born in October 1750
- A son called Nicholas who was born in Great Mongeham in 1745.
