 His grandson dying in 1735, under age and unmarried, the 

 Manor became vested in his three sisters as co-heirs, and 

 on a partition of the estates anno 9, George II., was allotted 

 to Anne, the eldest daughter, wife of John, Viscount 

 St. John, and thence passed to their grandson, George St. 

 John, Lord Viscount Bolingbroke, who was Lord of the 

 Manor in 1790.

 history and ancestry reaching back into the 

 dim ages long past, of which they have just cause, to be

 such as Reeves, Kemp, and Ougham (pronounced Okum 

 in Whitstable, and Uffum in some other parts of Kent), 

 back for centuries in the Inrollment Books preserved by 

 the present Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company. We now 

 come to a period when an opportunity occurred for them 

 to grasp more firmly than ever their long-established rights.
