Could be son of Thomas Polley and Anne de Badwell
John Polhill, also Polley, called Thomas in the Visitation of Kent 1619

"The first mention of POLEHILLS in Detling occurs in Kent Assize Roll 359 of 1241, when we learn that Alice, widow of Edward POLEHILL with her sons William and Simon successfully claimed land and 2 1/2 acres of woodland with appurtenances in the parish.

The grandfather of the boys was one Simon de POLEHILL, who could very well have existed about 1170." "The Subsidy Rolls yield later information. Among the names of 50 inhabitants of Detling in 1327 appears the name of Willielmus de Polehille. In 1383 appears Elena de Polehill. The name appears again and again during the next 200 years under spelling varying from Polehull, Polehille, Polehell, Polhyll, Poleheld, Polley and Polhill."

"In the Lay Subsidy Rolls of King Henry VIII (1524) appears an Edmond Polhill rated at L40, the highest of 33 other inhabitants and nearly twice as much as the next highest. This Edmond, who died in 1554, left a charge of ten shillings a year on a farm in Detling called Scragged Oak, for the poor of the parish.

By 1680 the Parish Vestry Book records the charity as divisible one third to the priest, one third to the clerk and one third to the poor. Payment on this scale continued down to the second World War, by which time changes of occupation and weightier matters created difficulties in the collect on of the ten shillings and the charity fell into abeyance,"

"In 1546, Edward Polhyll is one of the four principal inhabitants. The Church Register apparently regarded John Pollye, yeoman, as the head of the family in 1578. By 1598 the Polhills are all of less substance, probably due to the subdivision of the original property between many male descendants, as proved by wills which are available. (appendix B4 and B5). While other inhabitants in this year are rated in pounds, Richard Polhill is assessed at 30/- and John and Edmond at 20/-each. Incidentally the wills refer to marriages with families whose names do not appear in the rolls of principal inhabitants."

"A few years later the name is Polley and in 1615 it is Polhill. In 1657 Henry Polhill left 20/- for the poor of Detling. By 1673 (Hearth Roll of Charles II), the name has completely disappeared from Detling records and does not appear again until 1779 when the Rev. William Polhill (who had previously served at Bircholt, Orlestone and Linton (36), was appointed Vicar of the Parish. He was non-resident and in 1780 departed for Albury, but he retained property in Detling for which he paid taxes until 1821. His name is commemorated on the walls of the church but there are no memorials to any other members of the family there."

"There is, unfortunately, no record whatsoever in Detling of the John Polley, born about 1422, who went to Shoreham to marry Alice Buckland. Possibly he was descended from Willielmus and Elena. Possibly he was related to the John Polhehille who on January 28, 1516 sold the house, mill and substantial farm still called Polhill in the neighbouring parish of Harrietsham. The deeds relating to that transaction are missing but the late 14th. century type house with hall still stands though very much restored after damage by fire in 1939 and by flying-bomb in 1944. In all probability he farmed the land up in the hills, still called Polleyfields and walked along the village street, then called Polley Street but now abbreviated by the inhabitants to "the Street".
