1. The following extraction was made from the "Index to the Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by H.A. Hanley, B.A. and C.W. Chalklin, M.A., B. Litt <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/7/313.htm> accessed 11 Feb 2016.
From this index, the actual entries are found in "The Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by the same authors <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/3/058-172.htm> accessed 12 Feb 2016. The second document more fully explains the history of this Lay Subsidy. This was a tax assessed on householders; however, it probably only represents about 50% of the householders since the poorer families were not assessed:
Austin, Austyn, Alic', 123 (Hundred of Brenchesle [Brenchley]); Alic' de Rysshebourne, 86 (Hundred of Westgate); Godeleva, 115 (Hundred of Lauerkefeld [Larkfield]); Jn., 86 (Hundred of Westgate), 142 (Vill of Dertford [Dartford]), 151 (Hundred of Loniberghe [Loningborough]); Juliana, 154 (Hundred of Hamme [Ham]); Phil., 162 (Bordenne in Middeltone [Borden in Milton]: Tenth); Rog., 132 (Hundred of Schamele [Shamwell]); Sim., 107 (Hundred of Tenterdenne [Tenterden]); Wm., 82 (Hundred of Eastri [Eastry]), 95 (Hundred of Longhebregge [Longbridge]).

"A Chronology of Jane Austen and her Family," by Dierdre Le Faye
Prologue
A summary of Jane Austen’s direct ancestry
AUSTEN family
The Austens or Austins were sheep-farmers and clothiers in the Weald of Kent. In 1574 the College of Arms allowed the Astyn family at Yalding to bear the coat-of-arms of: Argent on a chevron between three lions’ gambs erased sable three bezants; other Austen families bear similar arms, including the crest: On a mural crown or, a stag sejant, argent attired or. Jane Austen’s paternal ancestry can be traced back with reasonable certainty to the sixteenth century, as under:
(1) William astyn of Yalding, Kent (died 1522), and his wife Elizabeth, had three sons.
(2) William’s eldest son, Stephen astyn of Yalding (died post 1532), married twice, and had in all seven sons and four daughters.
(3) Stephen’s eldest son by his second wife, Robert, is probably identifiable with Robert austen of Horsmonden, Kent (died 1603); this Robert and his wife Elizabeth had three sons and four daughters.
(4) Robert’s eldest son is probably identifiable with John Austen Ⅰ of Horsmonden (1560–1620/1); this John and his wife Joan Berry had eight sons and one daughter.
(5) John Ⅰ’s fifth son, Francis austen Ⅰ of Horsmonden (1600–1687/8), and his wife Ellen, had one son and two daughters. Francis acquired the manors of Broadford and Grovehurst, in Horsmonden parish.
(6) Francis Ⅰ’s son John austen Ⅲ of Grovehurst, Horsmonden (1629–1705), and his wife Jane Atkins, had two sons and three daughters."
