Talk:Robert Child (agriculturalist)

John Child(e)
There is an old source identifying John Child (MP for Portsmouth) of 1658 as "Major John Childe". Obviously this is a bit slender, and needs further work. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:57, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

John Child, Childe or Chiles is well documented as an anti-parliamentary rebel of 1648 in Kent, with George Goring, 1st Earl of Norwich. He was in Upnor Castle around 1654 (Transactions of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts vol. 21 p. 97. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:25, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
