Mary VANT b. Between Oct 1871 and Dec 1871 Westwell, Kent, England d. Yes, date unknown
News: Until early 2021 I had two main Kent Trees, one centered around Westwell near Ashford and the other around Lower Halstow near Sittingbourne. I have always been convinced that they were joined in some way, but just could not find that link. The two trees are now one large tree.
