Henry Streatfeild

By tradition, the first son in each generation was called Henry which can sometimes cause challenges for local historians.

The Streatfeild family owned numerous estates in Kent, including Tyhurst and Chiddingstone Cobham.

On Sir Jocelyn's death, Henry could potentially have inherited the Penshurst Estate as the 7th Earl left no legitimate heir and on his death-bed wrote a will leaving everything to his 14-year-old illegitimate daughter, Anne.

This however was successfully contested by her cousins, and after much legal wrangling Henry and Anne only received the income from the Sidneys' Welsh properties - but these were still fairly significant.

[3] Henry and Anne had five children, though the first died as an infant:[4] Henry died on 4 April 1762 and was interred in the family vault at St Mary's Church Chiddingstone.
