John Dawe lived in Fawkham. The four fields he
owned in Hartley (not including the 4 acres brought to him by his
wife) add up to 13 acres 1 rood - the same extent as the later
"Dawsland" in Church Road. It appears that at least part of
the Hartley lands he owned came to him in marriage to his wife Alice (possibly
Cotyer?).
