James Honysett, a son of Richard and Elizabeth, was born in 1750 and married Mary Miller (1755 - 1821) from Herstmonceux in 1784. Banns were called in Westham on 18 and 25 July and 1 August and the marriage took place in Herstmonceux on 8 August. They appear to have had one son baptised in Herstmonceux six years before they married! Six other children were baptised in Westham:
| Thomas | 22 Mar 1778 | Herstmonceux |
| William | 19 Jun 1785 | born 31 May - Westham |

| Elizabeth | 6 Jul 1794 | born 7 Jun - died 1808 |
