I have managed to look into your query a bit further. However, after consulting the original parish records there does not appear to be a Caleb Heritage born in either Willesborough or Hinxhill around 1670. I have found that some of his children were born in Willesborough (listed as Anabaptists) and later the same children were baptised in Hinxhill on the same day. There do not appear to be any further Heritage's in Willesborough before the 1690's. The village, as it was then, had a lot of non-conformity as it was away from the main conformist town of Ashford, so perhaps the family were in Willesborough, but not entered in the parish documents. Perhaps if you located the manorial rolls for Willesborough and Hinxhill you might be able to verify whether they were living in the village or elsewhere.

On my searches I did find a later headstone in Hinxhill churchyard of which an MI transcript can be seen at Kent Archaeological Society website in the Research section. It is for Stephen, John and Mary Heritage who are possibly in your Heritage tree esp. John who could be Caleb's son born 1708.

Sorry I could not help you further in finding Caleb's mother and father. If you encounter any new leads then I will happily take a further look.

Thanks, Helen

Helen,

I have been having a talk to marie louise ingham and this is what marie has said to me, Caleb also had a brother called Obadaih and three sisters sarah, elizabeth and margaret. Records for st marys ashford. 1704 july 26th buriel mary daughter of caleb heritage.1707 dec 5th buriel elizabeth may have been sister rather than daughter. 1710 july 9th buriel margaret wife of caleb heritage. 1710 august 9th buriel of caleb heritage. also looking at the dates as there must of been a sickness in the house on parish record. There are other Heritages

Marie is trying to find out more info on john and stephen in smeeth and mersham.

Obadiah married a mary and had child female called Dorcas 1703.
