Abraham Chitty
of Odiham and London (continued)

Abraham certainly had eight children, all, with the possible exception of Henry, baptised at Odiham:

1. Matthew baptised 1609 Apr 7, presumably dead by 1615 (but see note on page 2.)

2. Henry
, probably baptised 1610 Oct 1, though the entry reads, (erroneously?) as a burial. Of him, more later.

3. Elizabeth baptised 1611 Apr 7. Unless she is the Elizabeth buried at St Dunstan's 1634 Aug 21, after which another Elizabeth was born to Abraham, possibly by a second wife, she married (1st) Edward TOYE of Bishopsgate, weaver, 1654 May 2, at St Botolph, Bishopsgate, being described as of St Dunstan in the East and daughter of Abraham of that parish. This was a civil marriage performed by Alderman Thomas ATKIN, in accordance with the Act of 1653. In 1676 and 1684, her brothers' Wills describe her as Elizabeth BILLINGHURST (her husband also being alive in 1676). This marriage has not been traced - but in 1667, March 24, a John RADFORD married an Elizabeth TOY at Holy Trinity, Knightsbridge; so possibly Elizabeth married in turn TOYE, RADPORD and BILLINGHURST.

4. Margaret baptised 1612 May 16.

5. Matthew baptised 1615 Jun 11.

6. George baptised 1617 Jun 15.
(Of these three, Margaret, Matthew and George, nothing more is known).

7. Abraham baptised 1619 Nov 17 - of whom, more later. (Pp.7- ).

8.

1. John baptised 1649 Jun 21, buried 1652 Jul 31.
2. Abraham baptised 1650 Jan 19, buried 1655 Mch 14.
