I have just started a blog about the history of Pipes Place Shorne Kent. Which was home to the Maplesdens throughout the 18th century.

I believe I am descended from the Maplesden family from Kent. I am descended from George and Elizabeth's son Charles Maplesden. Charles had 12 children with his wife Jane Goodwin Maplesden. He also had 9 children with his housekeeper Mary Ann Adams. My great grandfather George Adams was one of those children raised at Bank Farm. Would love to learn more about the Maplesden Family.
