If it helps any, on the 23rd December 1830, William Bushell and Stephen Bushell were sentenced to 7 years transportatipn for breaking machines at Vincent Farm, Thenet belonging to Mr Hills Rowe, and at Alland Grange, belonging to George Hannam, Esq. These appear in Mockett's journal under the heading "Incendiaries". They seem to have gotten off lightly. John Dyke (30), William Packman (20) and Hery Packman (20) were executed on Penenden Heath, near Maidstone. I don't think these were Thanet people though.... //Richard
