Maidstone Jurats
In 2008 Judy Buckley gained her MA by Research from the University of Greenwich, with a dissertation on "The Oligarchy in Maidstone 1549-1660." Here is an alphabetical list of the 97 jurats (aldermen) of Maidstone, in Kent, during that period. Maidstone had strong early links with Virginia, and some of them may have descendants in USA.
I am in the process of adding all the information I have collected so far for each jurat. Click the hyperlinks to reach the right pages.
If you find somebody who may link to your family tree, please buy the book or contact us.
