Appendix 52 - Kidners of Cutcombe

The only record of Kitnors of Cutcombe is a series of wills:

In 1562 the wills of John and William Kitnor were proved.

In 1583 Roger Kitnor's will was proved. He may have been the brother of Richard Kitnor of Exford.

In 1584 John Kittner made his will.

In 1623 Wilmotte Kitnor's will was proved. Perhaps she was the Willmut Kytner whose four daughters were mentioned in the will of Richard Kitnor of Exford.

In 1638 Henry Kittner's will was proved.

On 24th May 1646 Richard Kitner made his will; it was proved on the 20th June 1648. He left a widow, Johan. His daughter, Christian, wife of John Thorne, was his residual legatee and executrix.

No later mention of a Kitnor at Cutcombe has been found.
