Family Photo
On the back of the original photo is text written by Ethel Currier, daughter of Lucy Chute Currier and granddaughter of Emily Chute Scott. The text reads, "Taken 1885, mother was 22, I was 1 year." The individuals in this photo are named, but may not be entirely accurate:
Front row, seated, left to right: Hezekiah Scott, Paul Leander Scott, Emily Chute Scott, Lucy Ambrosine Scott Currier.
Back row, standing, left to right: Edith Medora Scott, Minnie Esther Scott, George Samuel Scott, Clara Emma Scott and Celia (Lizzie Francelia) Scott.The discrepancy in this photo is with the son labeled "George". Linda Gerow, great-grandaughter of Emily Rebecca Chute, who contributed the photo, points out: "George Scott would only be 12 years old in this picture - this boy looks older, could this be Hezekiah E., age 15, who is not listed on the picture? If so, where is George?" She also notes that Ethel Pearle Scott does not appear in the photo either.
If anyone else descended from this family can shed any light on these mysteries, let us know!

The caption reads: "As they were in 1906, members of the Greenport Cornet Band, Bryan Redmond, Will King, Raymond Chute and Harry Geehreng are seen here dressed for an old-time minstrel show at the Greenport Auditorium. Mr. Redmond was the uncle of Jack Pekham, the Greenport Village Treasurer; Mr. King was well known as the director of King's Orchestra; Mr. Chute was the late Leander Chute's father, and Harry Geehreng, son of John Geehreng, the band director of the 1880's, was Lorraine Geehreng's father."

Estate Map
This estate map was prepared for Edward Chute, Esq. of Bethersden by Ambrose Cogger in 1628. It was discovered by Dr. William Cock in a cupboard in the Sessions House at Maidstone. The map is now preserved in the County Archives Office. According to Sir John Winnifrith: "The 76 parcels of land totalled 570 acres. In addition, Edward Chute owned considerable woodland in the Heron Wood. The land included all of the fields round Hornes Place to the east and west of the Ashford Road, apart from what is now Gusborne farm. This block included the mill (shown on the map), the mound of which still remains, as does the lane leading to it which is also marked on the map. He owned some land on both sides of Moor Lane and - the largest block - on both sides of the Tenterden road beyond the crossroads as far as the present Tenterden and Reading sewers. All this land was very suitable to let for farming tenants. Unfortunately, none of the field names are shown. These would have been given in the book mentioned in the legend at the bottom of the map."
