Hi to everyone on the list -- Here are some surnames which I extracted recently from the BT's (Bishop's Transcripts) of the parish of St. Peter's in Canterbury, Kent, ENG. This was one of the Canterbury churches which was heavily attended by the refugees. I'm hoping this will be helpful to someone out there. These records are on LDS film # 1736628. I began the extracts with year 1685/6 -- simply because that's where the handwriting became readable to me -- and have ended with 1700 in this post. Therefore, this is Part 1 -- further surnames for dates later than 1700 will follow over the next little while. Notice that some of the surnames are the same ones that popped up in the extracts I posted previously from the Canterbury parishes of St. George and St. Margaret. All the cautions and comments I mentioned in my posts for these parishes also apply here -- ie. please verify original records to check my accuracy (this is not a primary source). Also, I am not *absolutely certain* that all these names were Huguenot -- I merely made guesses and extracted the *possibles*. Also, there were undoubtably some that I've missed altogether -- another reason to check the records yourselves. I've left all the spelling just as I found it (and bear in mind that the handwriting was sometimes very hard to decipher) but have also sometimes speculated on what the original spelling might have been. Notice that burials far outnumber either marriages or baptisms. Notice also the very frequent occurence of male names such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Peter, and to a lesser extent: Philip & Samuel. It's been my experience that these names are not at all common in Kent parishes which did not have refugee settlement. If anyone has a connection to any of the following names, I hope they will post about it. Andrea Abbreviations are as follows: Bapt=baptised, Bur=buried, Marr=married. 1685 May 20 Bapt "Cornhut", son of Petter & Mary JODVAIN 1685/6 Feb 11 Bur Samuel, son of Jacob POTTOW 1686 May 16 Bapt Peter, son of James & Joane HOOKE (ie.

Note: The above surname occurred a few times here but I could not make out the exactly spelling because of the handwriting. In later time periods, I started noticing the surnames SACK and SECK (none of which I extracted), but which may be connected. I feel that this may originally have been LE SECQ or similar. 1691 Oct 4 Bur Abraham HOOKE 1691/2 Mar 12 Bur Moses LAMA 1691 May 29 Bur ------- POTTO, widdow 1691 Oct 1 Bur Robert, son of Mr. Jacob LE BAYLEY 1691 Dec 14 Bur Susan, wife of Clement LE ?FRANT? 1692 Jly 10 Bapt Isaac, son of Jacob & Martha POTTWO 1692 Aug 16 Bur Ratchell, dau of Peter GROUT 1692 Nov 25 Bur Jacob, son of Samuel DE TREE 1692 Dec 27 Marr Susan ROOE & Thomas Prigg 1692/3 Mar 19 Bur Anne, wife of Andrew POTTWO 1693 Dec 1 Bapt James, son of James & Johanna HOOKE 1693 Apr 2 Bur Mary ANTOW, widow 1693 Apr 23 Bur Barbery BLANCAW (ie.
