He did this for our cause, 'I will that Thomas [-969 in this ancestry file-ed.] and John [-967] my sonnes shall have my pte of the barne and place with all appurtenances w'ch I purchased from William Godden and Adryan Godden, sett, lying and being in Cowstreet in Folkestone.' This must have been the beginning of our Chapman family in Folkestone." Now referred to as Kow Street.
