Does anyone on the Kent list have a pedigree of the Tichbourne/Tichburne family of Cowden? (Including Richard and/or Robert Tichburne).  I am trying to confirm or disprove the existence of a family with the surname Pardon connected to the Tichburne family. I am aware of John Tillinghast having married Dorothie Tichburne June 6, 1627 in London....John's mother was Alice Pardon Tillinghast.  Aside from that connection, I am seeking information that Alice Pardon may have been a cousin to a line in the Tichburne family c1570 - 1625. Thank you for any help anyone can provide. Donna TILLINGHAST Casey Michigan, USA   The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
