Individual Details
Robert Raynor
(Abt 1455 - Aft 1500)
== Biography ==According to a local history in Latin, called the "''Stemmata Cantiana''" or "Kentish Family Scroll", Robert Raynor was born in the hamlet of Doddington in the Maidstone District of Kent, England. Reports of his birth year vary from about 1555 to about 1575 and are based on his daughter's estimated birth in 1500. He likely was the son of Richard Raynor, himself a younger son of substantial local landowner, Thomas Raynor whose 1484 Will included the bequest of "Bamletts farm" to his son Richard, where it is known that Marjorie grew up. The Raynor family were local Kent yeomen (independent landowners) and lived in the parishes of Doddington, Lenham, Milton and Kingsdown, all south-east of Maidstone, Kent. The family probably descended from one Elias Raynor who was the Escheator (a medieval judicial official) of Kent in 1384. He and his son Nicholas Raynor owned lands at Milton in the 14th-15th Centuries.

Thomas Raynor, Robert's grandfather, lived at a farm called "Justessess," which he left to his wife Clemence in his 1483 Will. His oldest son, Andrew with wife Julien, inherited the bulk of his lands at Doddington, Kingsdown and Milton but Richard received "Bamletts". Same source. Will is registered in Kent as
Vol. C.3.36
There is no mention of Robert's wife's name or family; nor of their eventual deaths or other children. They certainly lived and died at their Bameltts farm in the Kent countryside near the village of Doddington.
