Matric. pens. from MAGDALENE, Easter, 1617. Doubtless s. of Richard, of Ash, Sandwich, Kent. Bapt. there, Jan. 1, 1599-1600. Mayor of Sandwich, 1639. Married, at Birchington, Kent, Dec. 6, 1619, Mary Beake, of Northbourne. Died 1659. (Vis. of Kent; Hasted, IV. 231; H. G. Harrison.)
Ireland has him as son of Michael and Judith Austen. Given that Michael died 1583 and Solomon was born 1599
. This is impossible.A solomon is clearly included in the will of Richard 7 Oct 1606 - RY
Mayor of Sandwich 1639.
He is recorded on Knights visitation of Kent 1619-1621 as son of Richard.
He is recorded on Knights visitation of Kent 1663 as Solomon Hougham of Ash " with his marriage to Mary Beake
and his son Henry of Ash who signs the statement.
He is recorded in register of Baptisms of Ash church 1600 Jan 1 Solomon son of Richard Hougham.
He is recorded on the allegation for his marriage licence, Canterbury thus "Solomon Hougham of Northbourne , gentleman bachelor about 20 years and Mary Beake of same parish maiden about 21 years her parents being all of them dead married at Birchington, 4 December 1619
He purchased the manor of Shelving (Alias Woodnesbury) in Eastry in 1632 and died of the plague in 1658. He was succeded by his eldest son Richard.
He is recorded in the will of his sister Ann which was proved 21 Jan 1661. She also mentions his son Henry father of his grandson Solomon. Thus" Solomon Hougham, son of my nephew Henry Hougham"
He is recorded on the will of his son Solomon of Barton Court Canterbury dated 7 July 1694 who desires to be buried near" my late father and mother in the chancel of the parish church of St Mary;s Sandwich" The will which covers five sheets mentions the other children of Solomon and Mary thus" I give unto my nephew Charles Hougham son of my brother Henry Hougham deceased Đ1000 To my brother ijn Law Thomas Harvey and to my sister Ann his wife" etc.
The will shows the course by which Barton Court was inherited by Charles, the son of HenryHis memorial is a monument in St Marys Church Sandwich and reads" In memory of Solomon Hougham mayor of this town 1639 who dyed 27 Nov 1658 age 59. and of Mary his wife buried 19 January 1641 also of Richard Hougham his eldest son buried 26 Apr 1662 and lastly of Solomon Hougham Esq 2nd son, merchant of London and High Sherriff of Kent 1696 who died a bachelor 16 March 1697 in his 73 rd year of his age" " Both the Indies both the poles nay both the worlds knew his traffic, justice and his country too. Giving all on earth the heavenly pearl obtained he lived with profit and he died with gain".
Died of the plague at Sandwich. As no victim of the plague was allowed to be buried in a church the law was hedged a little by placing him in a doorway in St Marys Church. After bricking up the inside of the doorway into the church his remains followed and then finally the outside of the doorway was bricked up leaving him buried neither inside or outside the church. Evidence remains today as does a brass plate inside the church
Note.(M.H.Pratt) Pay no attention to "A Forgotten Past"by F. H. Suckling on arrangement of this family-she offers no proof for her connections. The arrangement on other side is taken from College of Arms.Heraldy.and Parish Registers,extracts from Wills, etc.all authentic sources.Solomon Hougham purchased the manor of Shelving-which he owned when he died.

Solomon was heir to Barton Court ,but having NO MALES to inherit from him, it had to go to his brother Henry. Hasted says Solomon D.S.P 1697
, Henry-the brother who inherited Barton Court also had a son Solomon who inherited, but lacking MALE HEIRS could not retain it and pass it on. The will of his Uncle Solomon designated.

The first Hougham to own Barton Court
Barton from the old English means a granary for Barley It was the Home farm for St Augustines Abbey. After the dissoloution, it was let by the King to Robert Best of Ash then to Clement Kempe. His son Henry Cheney inherited it in 1558. He sold the manor to Sir Edward Herbert who sold it in 1579 to Thomas Smythe. In 1624 the estate was in the hands of a John Smith. In 1657 after his death his wife Ann itwas sold to Solomon Hougham.
Left Barton Estate to nephew Solomon on condition that all remains to eldest sons male heirs,failing males to next sons male and so on to the 10th generation both down and across.
Solomon called Lord of the Manor but highest rank actually only "Sir" He had inherited and accumulated great wealth and lived luxuriously and was liberal in his will of ten pages long. he made provision for marble tomb stone in the chancel of st Marys at Sandwich in memory of his parents. he set aside for life forever the sum of £11 to be given each sunday in penny loaves at 4 shillings a week to the poor after service and 12 shillings on christmas and to the minister at woodnesborough £5 for 20 years at Christmas. This was observed every week from 1694 till 1900. In 1936 the farm which provided the fund was sold in 1936 for building and the will forgotten. The land fetched £25000Great confusuion and many lawsuites resulted when heirship passed from males to females numerous claims and lawsuits followed only for 5 generation had gone instead of the specified ten
