1576 Wiltshire Tax Lists Chaddenwick Thomas Awbrey - £10-0-0 - £0-16-8

Victoria County History of Wiltshire Sedgehill "In 1573 Audley [Richard] sold the manor ro William Grove and Thomas Aubrey jointly (see above). Aubrey (died 1590) was apparently entitled to a moiety for life."

History of Modern Wiltshire by Sir Richard Colt-Hoare "… I find that the manor of Chadenwyche, with other lands, were sold in 1571 by Lord Compton [1st Earl of Northampton] to Thomas Awbrey."

The Book of Mere, Portrait of a Wiltshire Town In 1571 when he purchased Chadenwyche from Lord Compton Thomas Awbrey was already in possesion of the manor. The total cost was £1400 (about £244K today 2009) for lands in Mere, Knoyle, Oderne, and Sedgehill.

History of Modern Wiltshire by Sir Richard Colt-Hoare "… in the first Parliament of Queen Elizabeth (1559), the borough of Hindon was represented by William Awbrey, Gent. Of Chadenwyche." Note - the website 'history of parliament' corrects this and shows that this MP was someone different but that William Awbrey of Chadenwick was an MP for Weymouth in 1542.

1623 Visitation of Dorset Awbrey, line back to - Will'm Aubrey of Chadenwich in Wilts and Canford in Dorset son of William Aubery of Dawley Court in the parish of Harlington in Middlesex

1549 will of William Awbrey Of Canford Dorset, Esquire. Refers to - Brother John Awbrey and children - William, Maud, Henry and Curlye. "… my base son and not melior (?) begotten …" Thomas Awbrey (note - under 21, conditions placed on his inheritence until he reaches that age or marries) who receives lease of my farm of Chadenwick. Reference to servants. Wife Alice, sole executrix. Cousin Thomas Alforde, clothier, of Mere. * comment in bold - this suggests that Thomas was not the child of Alice, William's wife, but as he still describes him as 'my base son' I believe that he is still William's child. Thomas however describes Alice, Thomas' widow, in his will of 1590 as 'his mother' but that could indicate a family relationship rather than genetic link whilst 'my base son' rather than, say, my wife's 'base son' or even 'adopted son' indicates an illegitimate natural child. from http://www.genealogyforum.rootsweb.com/gfaol/beginners/trends.htm NATURAL SON: When the term "natural" son is used, the researcher should not jump to the conclusion that it denotes an illegitimate relationship. What that term always indicates is a relationship by blood as distinguished from a relationship by marriage or adoption. In seventeenth century English wills, people commonly refered to an illegitimate child as "my base son" or "my bastard son."

William Awbery (bf 1500-1540)

British-history.ac.uk Dawley Manor, Harlington, Middlesex Dawley manor descended along with Harlington, which John Lovell is also thought to have acquired, to his son Thomas. As a result of conveyances in 1465, in which Reynold Barentyn of Oxfordshire was also concerned, Dawley apparently passed to Robert Oliver, who was said to be lord in 1428. He and his wife held the manor for life in 1448, but John son of Thomas Lovell quitclaimed it to Robert Aubrey in 1450, and similar quitclaims were made by Richard Brown, who seems to have held Lovell's interest in Harlington manor. Robert Aubrey of Dawley was collector of a subsidy in 1453 and died in 1488, leaving several sons. By 1515 Dawley belonged to Richard Aubrey. Thomas Aubrey held it in 1540 and William Aubrey in 1547. John Aubrey died in possession in 1557 and was succeeded by his son William. William Aubrey appears to have conveyed Dawley to William Roper, lord of Harlington, in 1564, but he was still living at Dawley in 1571, when he secured a lease of Harlington rectory. The manor seems to have belonged in 1590 to Richard Reynolds

1809 baptism of George base born son of Charity Burt

Note in 1778 a Charity Burt was baptised as a base born daughter of Jane Burt at Wylye in Wiltshire, but this Charity died in 1781 and Jane was daughter of Nicholas of Wylye bapt 23/4/1758). Charity gives her birthplace as Berwick in the 1851 census and although the date of baptism is remarkably similar I don't believe there is any connection between the Burts of Wylye and of Berwick. I do not believe that either Charity or her son George used the name Nicholas for their children. Most likely she was a daughter of Richard and Prudence Burt due to the fact that they were having children in the parish at the right time and the connection between the names Prudence, Gratius and Charity.

Richard Burt (1742-aft 1790)

1760 marriage at Compton Abbas - Philip CHOWN [x] of Berwick St John & Grace READ [x] married 25-Sep 1760 by banns Witnesses; Thomas HILL; Joseph FOOT

1760 Banns at Compton Abbas The Banns of marriage between Philip Chown of Berwick St John and Grace Read of his parish were published in this church the 24th and 31st August and the 7th September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty by A Heathcote, Rector.

* parentage of Philip Chown senior - I had previously assumed a connection to the marriage of Robert Chown at in 1733 due to a similar connection being made elsewhere on the internet. However Philip died 1816 aged 85 and must therefore have been born 1731 and before the marriage of Robert Chown. Philip and Grace also did not have any children called Robert but they did use the name William and I therefore think that there is a more likely connection to William and Mary/Anne having children 1725 to 1732 in Berwick St John and William died 1788 aged 92 in Berwick.

The 1666 baptism states 'John son of John Comb but there are a number of John senior's that this could relate to - * John Comb, taylor of Spelsbury had children - 1657 Alice, 1662 Mary * John and Grace Comb - 1662 Mathew, 1665 Susanna, 1671 Alice (father John deceased) - this John died 1670 and so can't be the same one as in Philippa's will of 1676 * John and Miriam - 1668 Miriam * John and Margaret - 1664 Jane - however this John Coombe who married Margaret Ogbourne in 1656 was the son of Mabel Coombe (as stated on the marriage record) and she married Charles Coombe. Therefore the only realistic family is John and Miriam as the 'tailor' occupation does not fit with the farming Coombe line, neither does the Spelsbury hamlet and the 1657 first child is a bit too early.

1612 another Mathew Combe was baptised son of Thomas. However unless he was baptised later in childhood it is unlikely that this is the one that married Phillipe in 1625.

He was churchwarden of Tisbury in 1580 and his will (proved Arch.

The manor farm consists of 680 and his long been considered one of the best corn farms in the county." ** Edward Coombe of Bridsor, Tisbury was seated and married before 1570 his descendent William, of Norton Ferrers in Somerset, recorded a pedigree in the 1623 Visitation of Somerset.

John Combe "an householder" was buried at Canne 25th August 1577. same book and page - "Early in the Sixteenth century, a certain John Combe appears at Shaston, co Dorset as a tenant of Abbey lands. He was assessed in the Subsidy of 1524 at £10 in goods and seems to have possessed other property at East Orchard where "John Combe, sen" was assessed at £14. "William Combe his son" and "John Combe jun" (presumably another son) at £10. John Combe senior had several sons of whom Walter was a tenant of the Abbess in 1533 and of Sir Thomas Arundell (grantee of Abbey lands) in 1545 ...". page 509 "Joane, the daughter of John Coombe of Canne and sister to the Bailiff of Barton Manor, was married c 1530 to Robert Grove of Donhead St Andrew in Wiltshire, gent, feodary to Queen Elizabeth … From Hoare's Modern Wilts (Vol IV, I, 58) we learn that the old Manor house of Donhead called Berry Court "was under lease to the family of Grove at the dissolution of the religious houses and was for some time afterwards their place of residence". Now Donhead is only two miles from Bridsor ... where a certain Edward Combe had his abode early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and if, as there seems good reason to believe, this Edward and his brother John (of Place House in the same parish) were grandsons of John Coombe of Canne, it may well have been through the recommendation of Robert Grove (who was intimately associated with the Arundells) that Joane Grove's young kinsmen came to Tisbury and were granted leases of the two Manor farms above mentioned."

Other parishes checked - Motcombe, Semley, Gillingham, Sedgehill, Donhead, East Stour, Stour Provost & Shaftesbury (St James, Cann, St Peter, Holy Trinity) . Another Thomas Foot baptised at St Peters in Shaftesbury in April 1765 to John died in Shaftesbury in Oct 1844 aged 80 and that Thomas married Elizabeth Oram in 1789 at Shaftesbury St Peter. Another baptised at Berwick St John in 1766 to Joseph and Sarah was probably born too late and Thomas of Shaftesbury did not use either Joseph or Sarah as names for his children. Also a Thomas son of James and Mary at Fontmell Magna in 1768, he married Sarah West in 1790. Possible connecton - 1779 William Foot married Mary Higman at Motcombe (Thomas' brother?)

Her son John Mompesson (d. 1500) was succeeded by his grandson, also John Mompesson, who died in 1511. Edmund, son of the last, died c. 1553 when his heirs were his sisters Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, and Susan.

Dorset History Centre QSJ/5/1832/179 1832 The Return of Church wardens and Overseers of the parish of East Stower in the Hundred of Red lane of men qualified to serve on Juries: COLLINGS Robert (Yeoman). GODWIN Edward (Yeoman). GRAY Francis (Yeoman). HUNT John (Yeoman and Miller). HISCOCK William (Yeoman). MUNDAY James (Yeoman). PERRETT Thomas (Yeoman). STACEY Robert (Yeoman). STACEY William (Yeoman). Note - Francis (Rogers) Gray does not appear on the lists for East Stour before 1832. Therefore he must have moved from Tisbury to High Grove Farm, East Stour in 1831. He then does not appear on the jury list at East Stour (Stower) until 1835 through to 1842 - GRAY, Francis Rogers (Yeoman)

Francis and family moved from Tisbury to East Stour between 1829 and 1831.

Children of Francis Rogers and Hannah Gray at Tisbury - 1811 (at Mere) Dinah (m 1835 East Stour, William White), 1813 Jasper (m ES 1838, Sarah Cross), 1814 Sarah (m 1 ES 1838 Elijah Hiscock, 2 ES 1858 Robert Hunt), 1816 Elizabeth (m ES 1842, James Luck), 1818 Nicholas (bur 1829), 1820 Anne (m ES 1843 Edwin Hiscock).

On the baptism of children 1814-1820 (Anna, Sarah, Elizabeth and Nicholas) Francis' trade is dairyman of 'Toterdale' and on the burial of Nicholas in 1829 states the abode as Course (prob now Court) Street (Tisbury)

Francis Rogers Gray, the son of Francis Rogers? * 1789 Francis Rogers Gray baptised to Dinah Gray, does not mention 'base born' but neither do any others in these parish records at this time but it is quite certain that he was. I think that the the burial on 25/4/1789 of a Francis Rogers is almost certainly his father. It was not uncommon practice to use the surname of an maternal or paternal branch as a child's second name and in this case it is almost certainly more than coincidence that Dinah Gray worked for Francis Rogers at the time that Francis Rogers Gray was conceived and later born. Dinah probably lived at the Rogers house at Wickwood Farm in Tisbury and is a witness to Francis Rogers' will made in 1787 and proved 1792. She made her mark of a 'x' and is noted as his servant. I had previously believed that this Francis Rogers buried in 1789 was Francis Rogers junior born in 1759. It seemed more likley that a young son had been Francis Rogers Gray's father. However the Rogers grave at Tisbury (see under Rogers) clearly says that the younger Francis died in 1783 aged 25, 6 years before Francis Rogers Gray was born. Therefore the father of Francis Roger's Gray, if one accepts the name linkage, is most probably Francis Rogers the 68 year old married farmer or at least one of his other sons. The name 'Rogers' continued into the Hiscock family and the son of Edwin Hiscock and Anne Gray was called Francis Rogers Hiscock. Again this is probably more than just recognition of a previous family employer but most certainly testament to the name of the natural father of Francis Rogers Gray. There is no evidence that Dinah had to rely on parish relief and was probably provided for by the Rogers family, although not directly in the will of Francis Rogers which was produced before Francis Rogers Gray was conceived and born. Maybe Francis' widow, Philippa, provided for mother and newborn son? Whether this arrangement was reached amicably and whether Philippa accepted the parentage of young Francis Rogers Gray, one can only speculate at. Dinah later married another farmer called Alexander Godwin who would then have taken responsbility for raising young Francis. Francis Rogers Gray certainly made a healthy living as a dairyman in Tisbury and later as a farmer at East Stour as is shown by the decent sized farm he held at Stour and the large tombstone at East Stour church. He may have been set up in this living by the Rogers family and/or his adoptive father Alex Godwin.

One letter in the case paperwork is Mary Merryweather, John's wife, appointing J Brickle, gent, I assume to represent her and is as witnesses signed by - Thomas Grey with his mark of a cross Rose Case with her mark of a wavy line It is very probable that Thomas and Rose were servants of the Merryweather farming family and the following year after this trial married at Mere.

* There was a William son of John Graie baptism at Tisbury 1596 but that appears rather late unless this was a later baptism. I have made the connection because this is the only possible relevant baptism and William used the name John for a couple of his children. I have further made the connection back to Walter Grey as William also used this name for one of his children but he did not use the name Edmund (see below).

1754 marriage at Shaftesbury St James of John Hunt and Anne Haime of St Peter

Note another Ann Haime married Edward Bown at Holy Trinity, Shaftesbury on 3/2/1756. However I believe that the Ann Haime that married John Hunt was the one baptised 1739 as this was just two years after her birth of 1737 (according to her burial age). I believe that the wife of Edward Bown was in fact Hannah Haime and was buried 1822 age 89, born 1723 and baptised Holy Trinity to Thomas Haime in 1725.

John Haime (1709-1784) Whitchurch churchyard memorial (as recorded in 1984) A8 - in an area to east of the church IMO John Haime - soldier, preacher and fellow labourer with John Wesley d Aug 18 1784

Whitchurch Methodists: The Story so Far by Alison Deveson 2012 "… Haime had spent a short time in Andover in the 1760's and in the final years of his life came to oversee the Methodist society at Whitchurch where he died in 1784. We do not know how long he actually spent here but his ministry was building on the foundations of Wesley had laid. His second wife Catherine outlived him by 24 years and stayed in Whitchurch setting up business as a baker".

1766 - Susannah noted as wife of John. No record of a Susannah marrying any other John Haime or a burial of another John Haime in Shaftesbury at this time.

5/3/1705 John son of Richard Haymes baptised Shaftesbury Holy Trinity but he was buried 11/3. 2/4/1706 John son of Thomas Hayme buried Shaftesbury St Peter (baptised 7/1/1704 SStP)

The only John that could have been the father on Ann in Shaftesbury at the time is the following John. There are a number of reasons why this link is very probable if not absolutely proven - * John Haime the preacher did have a wife and children, * John joined the army and left Shaftesbury in December 1739 therefore after Ann had been born two years before and baptised earlier that year, * John left Shaftesbury again in 1766 after being invited to Cornwall, his wife Susannah died earlier that year, * in 1888 Rose Morgan and James Kelly married at the Wesleyan Chapel in Shaftesbury. Rose was a direct descendent of John Haime the Methodist preacher on this line.

Story of John Haime (soldier and Methodist preacher) 1709-1766 See separate essay

Children of John Haime - 1730 John son of Mr John Haim (SSP), 1740 Ann (SHT), 1744 Jane da of John Haime (SHT), 1746 Anne da of John (SHT) buried 1747. Note - another John Haime married Elizabeth Still in Cann in 1740. But after Anne was baptised to John at Holy Trinity and before John Haime the preacher left Shaftesbury with the army.

* not married Shaftesbury or Motcombe. Possibly married Blandford as he was working with his uncle who lived there for a while and the town registers before 1732 were destroyed by fire.

John Haime (1678-1736)

1741 does not mention widow but it is the most likely possible wife of John.

John of 1678 was a gardener known as John junior. Daughter Frances buried Holy Trinity 1698. Note that John W Haime in his book states that this John's burial was 1710 however the burial states 'John son of John' and the reference to the parent is normally the indication of an child burial not that of an adult. I believe the 1734 burial is therefore more likely.

John Haime (1634-1701)

1701 Alice noted as 'wife of John' and John died later that year in the same parish.

John was a miller of Mill Lane, Shaftesbury (later became Haimes Lane).

* - from this point geneological link to the Haymes of Gillingham is made by John Haime in his book 'Haimes - a Dorset family '. John Haime (1598-aft 1634)

A John Haime in 1616 was a champion of Shaftesbury's rights and received a lawsuit against him (and others) for erecting sheep pens in Bleke Street. The struggle went on till a revised Charter under King Charles II in 1665.

Feb 1632 William son of John Haymes of Newbury.

1598 baptism of John Hayme says of Willielmus (latin) Hayme junior. From this is it reasonable to assume that there was a related William Hayme senior.

Note that a Joseph Haymes was having children in Gillingham in the late 17th century. Possible father of Joseph of Shaftesbury? A Joseph Hayme was also the base born son of an Ann in Donhead St Mary 22/12/1696 however Joseph did not use the name Ann for any children and so I've not gone with this until at least the Gillingham link is ruled out.

1673 burial states -"Robert Hall of Gillingham in Dorset found dead on the downs of Horton 17/3 and buried". Note that in 1676 a Philip Hitchcock was also buried due to having been "killed of cold on Horton", suggesting that death on these downs due to the elements was not uncommon.

Dorset History Centre Apprenticeships ref OU5/1/27 29/9/1658 Matthew West to Edward Hascoll, blacksmith of Motcombe

* this point back courtesy of the Haskell family database however some of the information is uncertain. Another Edward was buried at Cann in 1689 however I think that Edward and Margaret who were married at North Cadbury and started a family at Cann in 1665 must be those that died at Donhead because their last child at Cann was Hannah in 1670 and the next was James at Donhead in 1671. This clearly suggests that they moved at the end of 1670 to Donhead as this is more than a coincidence.

1681 will of Rebecca Haskoll Made 1666, widow of Cann. No reference to Haskoll offspring or connections and she appears to have been married once before she married her last Haskoll husband as she refers to a son ? Dominick.

1676 will of John Haskell Yeoman of Charlton in Donhead St Mary. Refers to land in Cann and relatives - Nephew John son of brother James Haskell, deceased. Nephew Mathew Haskell. Niece Dorothy Haskell. Sisters Edith Haskell, Grace Haskell and Elizabeth Haskell. Sister Hester Haskell, widow and her children Dorothy Haskell, Hester Haskell and Grace Haskell.

1654 will of William Haskoll Yeoman of Cann. Refers to brother Richard and his children, brothers Thomas, Stephen and Mathew Haskoll and sister Dorothy Haskoll. But no reference to his own children. I think this has to be the William buried 15th June as the will was made (probably signed and witnessed) 15th June 1654.

1652 will of John Haskoll Miller of Cann. Refers to brother Richard and wife Amey. Proved 1654.

Note that two children were baptised to John Haskoll after the death of wife Anne in 1687 - Richard and Susannah. If they had both been children of Anne I would have expected at least Susannah to have been baptised earlier and when Richard was baptised.

1815 marriage of Thomas Foot and Elizabeth Hoskins both of Motcombe, married by banns, and signed with 'x's' , by banns and witnesses Joshua Foot and William Broadway.

* says that she was born in Motcombe in census records. However she was not baptised Motcombe, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Semley, Mere or Sedgehill.

The 1851 census says that Elizabeth Foot (nee Hoskins) was born in Motcombe. However there are no Hoskins families having children or married in that parish in 1780-1800. However there are Hoskins families in neighbouring Gillingham and those having children at the right time there are - John Hoskins of Bourton and Mary Kellaway of Bourton (m 1783) - 1787 Stephen, 1791 Mary. Elizabeth - 1787 William, 1789 Sarah - Elizabeth married William Lush at Gillingham in 1790 William Hoskins otp & Elizabeth Sheppard otp (m 1786) - 1787 Ann, 1789 Esther, 1792 Charles, 1794 George James Hoskins of Silton & Martha Mullens of Bourton (m 1780) - John 1788, Aaron 1790, Moses 1791, Martha 1795, Thomas 1797, Alfred 1800 James & Sarah - 1793 William.

In Shaftesbury there was - William Hoskins - 1787 Richard, 1797 Hannah. Peter Hoskins - 1780 Margaret. James Hoskins - 1791 James. John Hoskins - 1793 John, 1795 John.

The other alternative is that Elizabeth's Hoskins name is in fact her married, or rather widowed name, and that she had a different maiden name. The Motcombe registers do not appear to have been clear on noting a widow's marriage in each case (see Herd above where Hannah's marriage as Bridle did not make it clear she was a widow). If this is the case one marriage was possible of an Elizabeth to a Hoskins - April 1811 at Shaftesbury St James - Richard Hoskins to Elizabeth Hallett. However this Richard and Elizabeth were having children after 1815. Or was Elizabeth a Broadway as evidenced by William Broadway being a witnesss of her wedding? The Broadways were a large family in Motcombe but there was no Elizabeth Broadway baptised 1787-1793.

1786 - Mary Hunt had a base born son George Read Hunt at Motcombe, presumably son of a father called Read.

* there are two other possible baptisms - 1775 Mary to John Hunt at Motcombe, but is too late to be the right Mary 1754 Mariah to Silas and Mary, does not fit with the age of 52 on burial in 1812 and too early for a mother in 1802.This Maria had a base born son, Thomas Brickle in 1775 at Shaftesbury St Peter (says Maria of Motcombe) and she married in 1785 to William Chammen at Motcombe.

The link to a second ancestral Henry Jenkins is from the Hearth Tax register and Protestation Returns below which probably testify to an elder Henry born before 1623.

He cannot be connected with the purchaser of these yardlands in 1689. In 1691 Richard, the purchaser's son, married Elizabeth daughter of Humphrey Leere of Motcombe and a settlement was made. The elder Richard seems to have died in 1723, the younger in 1725; Elizabeth his widow died in 1731 Richard Kerley left four daughters, coheiresses; Ann, the wife of John Day of Fordingbridge, Ruth, of Thomas Hayne of Swanage, Elizabeth, of James Flippen of Tarrant Gunville, and Hester Kerley, spinster living 1732 Motcombe.

Of William Kerley senior, born in Ashmore but later of New England, the website 'The Sprague Project ' says - " ... As a famous first settler he was noted as a man "who would speak his mind". A man of character and force and sturdy independence. We can look back and sense in him those first faint stirrings toward complete freedom for which his descendants later fought so vigorously in the Revolutionary War. It was ingrained in them by this invigorating ancestor.

1729 marriage says James King and Sarah Robbins both of this parish.

1707 baptism on OPC says - 'James son of John King Tailor'. I believe that 'Tailor' is his trade rather than part of of his surname because in 1709 a 'Thomas son of Thomas King Tanner' was baptised in the same parish. John was married as just plain John King and buried as such as well.

John King (1668-1754)

1737 will of Grace King of Shaston, widow, refers to son in law John King - penkemaker (?) who is made sole executrix. Personal estate lying in Motcombe, Shaston and elsewhere. Inventory total £5-5-3 states that she was of Shaston St Peter parish.

Children of John King (Tailor) at SStP - 1691 John, 1695 Mary (bur 1726), 1702 Thomas (bur 1703), 1707 James, 1717 Joan, 1700 Ann (bur 1718), 1721 Matthew.

Baptisms of a John King at Shaftesbury before 1675 - 20/3/1642 John son of John Kinge (SStP) 15/4/1640 John son of Peter Kinge (SStP) buried 16th July 1640 Former is unlikely given the age gap. This John King baptised 1642 I believe married Alice Jerrard in 1662 at SStP. * This leaves the ONLY possiblity as - 6/1/1668 John son of James Ring (from OPC transcription) Given that a James King and not Ring married in 1665 and John had a son James I believe this has to be the relevant baptism.

James King (bf 1645-1679)

Children of James King - 18/1/1666 Mary (SStP) buried 1671 ? unnamed burial, 6/1/1668 John (SStP), 1673 Morgan (SStP), daughter Elizabeth buried 1679.

Burial 1695 just says 'widow Elizabeth King'. Given he had a daughter Elizabeth buried in 1679 I think this is James' widow (other Elizabeth, wife of Peter King, was buried 1684)

* 1663 says 'wiffe of James Kinge - unnamed.

1765 marriage - Thomas Trew, sojourner, to Patience Markey of Stourton

Patience Markey of 1734 had marriage banns with Thomas Kaines (or Keens) in 1756 in Stourton but there is no evidence of a subsequent marriage having taken place. She retained the name Markey and gave birth to a daughter Mary and had her baptised 22/2/1756 which was the second banns date with Thomas Kaines. Was Thomas the father and if so why did the marriage not then take place?

Witnessed by Frances Zouche Richard Mompesson Thomas Awbrey the elder William Dirdo Mathew Mompesson. Signed John Michell.

Notes on the above will - Robert Presse - I believe the he was actually John Michell's stepson rather than son-in-law. I think he was the son of the first marriage of John's wife Dorothe to George Presse. See Visitations below. Brothers John and Robert Chettell - the fact that John Michell had two brothers with the surname Chettell suggests that John's mother either married a Mr Chettell before or after John's father. Dorothe Awbrey - the name Dorothe suggests at a link to Dorothe Mompesson, whom I believe to be her mother who must have died before 1579. Richard Mompesson - John states that Richard was 'his nephew' I believe that John was Richard's uncle through his marriage to Richard's aunt Dorothe Mompesson (see below). There are two Richard Mompessons this could be who were both grandsons of Drewe Mompesson - Richard son of Vincent or Richard son of William (the latter became a Knight). Mathew Mompesson - there is only one Mathew Mompesson who this could be and he would also have been John's nephew through his deceased wife - Mathew son of William Mompesson of Maiden Bradley. That being the case this suggests that the Richard above was Mathew's brother.

Esq., second son of Drew and brother of John, mar Edith sister of William South of Amesbury … and by her had issue - John, Vincent, Edward, William and Christopher and; 'Dorothe, first mar. to George Presse and after to John Mychell of Gillingham, co Wilts.' Note - whilst John here is referred to as of Gillingham he is referred to as of Wiltshire not Dorset and Kingston Deverill is only two parishes distance from Gillingham. John also clearly had connections to the Gillingham area as he refers to his sister Edith of 'Milton' which I assume to be Milton on Stour near Gillingham and sister Elizabeth of Motcombe which neighbours Gillingham.

Cuthbert Michell (bf 1510- ?)

1550 will of Cuthbert Michell Gentleman of Kingston Deverill. Notes - also had connections to the Presse family but there are no references to any children of his own in either his will of widow Margaret's but there is a reference to - "I give to fyve of my brothers children that be married 40 shillings …" The question here is whether he is referring to John Michell (died 1579) as his nephew or his brother? Given the date and the fact that Cuthbert appears to have died younger than John I think that this Cuthbert was John's brother. That means that five of John's children were married by 1550 and from the will above we know of two of his daughters that were married and a 'daughter-in-law' (Margarett Strangewidge) who appears to have married a second time. Who the other two children were is not clear. National Archives - 12th to 18th Century,papers of the Thynne family of House 3. Lease of Kingston Deverill Manor to Cuthbert Michell, by Leteley [Netley] Abbey, Co. Southt. 12 Nov. 1530. p.23. * note - I do not believe that this lease can refer to the Cuthbert who died in 1550 without offsping as I think that Cuthbert died young. I expect that this Cuthbert was a senior member of this line and father of John and Cuthbert Michell of Kingston Deverill. But this is unproven at this time.

Liverpool Echo 27th May 1884 Death of a Miser At the meeting of Wimborne Guardians yesterday the case of Thomas Morgan of Pentridge, Cranborne, who died in the workhouse on Thursday was brought under notice, the deceased having been admitted on Tuesday in a starving condition and supposed to be utterly destitute of friends or means of support. On searching his house however, of which he had been the sole occupant for several years, the sum of £78 in gold was found in a box concealed beneath his bed. Since the discovery a great number of persons have come forward claiming to be relatives of the deceased. Morgan has been in receipt of parish relief for five or six years; but the guardians can only claim for one year. It is stated that Morgan is the last of a family of five or six brothers, all of whom lived and died in a similar way.

1830 Swing Riots In 'Bound to the Soil, a social ' by Barbara Kerr There is reference to a James Rymond age 29 from Tollard Royal being sentenced to 2 years hard labour (at Dorchester 10-12 January 1831). For machine wrecking at Sixpenny Handley. In 'Wiltshire Machine Breakers, Volume 2, by Jill Chambers, 1993 ' There is reference to two others both sent to Devizes New Prison for 12 months in 1830 for destroying a thrashing machine belonging to Charles Lane at Tollard Royal. They were - Samuel Rymond, aged 22, born 16/6/1805 Sixpenny Handley, Dorset - parents Joseph and Ann Riman Thomas New, aged 24, married to Ann Ryman from Woodcutts in 1827, Sixpenny Handley, Dorset Samuel Riman was Edward's (my great x4) grandfather's cousin and Thomas New was married to Samuel's sister Ann Riman. No direct link found yet to James of Tollard. Given that many male agricultural labourers in Handley were involved in this riot (50-60 men) it is difficult to believe that given relatives were convicted, that Edward was not amongst the crowd that attacked equipment on three farms in the area in November 1830.

Children of Edward and Sarah Riman at Handley - 1831 Charles (m 1859 Handley, Harriet Hardy), 1833 James (m 1853 Sarah Chown, Handley), 1837 George (m Emily), 1840 Mary Ann/Margaret, 1845 Fanny, 1852 Edwin.

Note - the 'flaxen hair' or 'sandy hair' description is typical of the male Rimans of this period.

1768 marriage at Sixpenny Handley of Robert Riman and Dinah Beach, by licence (no detail), witnessed Joshua Hardiman and Christopher Forward

* assumed from this point back but probable line. The Sixpenny Handley parish records start from 1754 and therefore prior generations of Riman's before Robert will be unrecorded.

1765 Indenture Robert Riman, yeoman of Woodcutts, entered into an indenture with Joseph Brockway of Shaftesbury on 14th April 1765. The indenture refers to a deed / bond for a dwelling place at Parsons Pool in the parish of Holy Trinity in Shaftesbury

Win Kirby (nee Ryman) of Woodcutts Win died aged 87 in December 2006 (born 1919). She was almost certainly a distant cousin having come from the same Riman family as that detailed above. I don't know whether anyone descended from this line still lives in the hamlet or whether she was the last to do so.

1729 marriage says James King and Sarah Robbins both of this parish.

However there are few other Robbins records in any other Shaftesbury parish at this time or subsequent Robbins burials meaning that Sarah must have come from elsewhere. Robbins (Robins) records in Shaftesbury - John son of John Robens baptised Shaftesbury St Peter 12/1727 buried later the same month

A Sarah Robbins was baptised Salisbury to Edmund and Sarah 1/8/1712. The names John and James come from James' family. Sarah from herself leaving possible clues of Sarah's parents as Lucy, William or Martha.

The Rogers name in the Gray and Hiscock families - See under Gray for the connection between Gray and Rogers, note that the name Rogers was held by two descendents of the above line as a second name - 1789 Francis Rogers Gray son of Dinah (and Francis Rogers) out of wedlock at Tisbury 1849 Francis Rogers Hiscock son of Edwin Gray and Anne Gray (Francis Rogers Gray's daughter) at Stour Provost, Dorset

Rogers graves in Tisbury Churchyard (grade II listed monuments) Two large rectangular tombs on the right hand, front of Tisbury Church are those of the Rogers family. The right hand tomb (as one looks from the road towards the church) and front left panel is to Francis son of Francis and Philippa Rogers. Unfortunately the face is very warn but I can make out - "In memory of Francis son of Francis and Philippa Rogers who died 18th March 1783 aged 25 years" In front is a smaller darker stone tomb of John Rogers buried 1705 and wife Margaret.

Nicholas Rogers (1761 - c 1830) Nicholas Rogers did not leave a will in Dorset or Wiltshire.

Land Tax Returns Dorset 1817 to 1830 - East Stour - Proprietor, Nicholas Rogers - Occupier, Sam Mells - premises charged - High Groves Farm* * note that this is the very farm that Nicholas' probable illegitimate son, Francis Rogers Gray, held from 1831

Probable father of Francis Rogers Gray - see Rogers essay explaining this connection.

Probable child of Nicholas Rogers and Dinah Gray at Tisbury - 1789 Francis Rogers Gray

Francis Rogers (1720-1792)

John Rogers, Francis' son In the 1805 Poll Book - John Rogers of Tisbury held a freehold at East Stower in the occupation of John Peters This John was the son of Francis Rogers, and I believe was Francis Rogers Gray's half brother. In the 1809 will of the gentleman William Hacker of Semley (William was John Roger's wife, Mary (nee Rixon)'s uncle), John Rogers is referred to as being a gentleman of 'Wickwood', Francis' old farm. John and Mary had a son John in c 1785 who in his will 1844 refers to himself as an 'esquire' and he refers to local 'gentlemen' with whom he was friends. In his will he also refers to other freehold estates at - East Stour, Semley and Tisbury in Wiltshire and Dorset A lot of this estate at Semley and his status appears to have come through his mother Mary and the link with her uncle the gentleman William Hacker. In his will of 1844 this John Rogers refers to wife Eleanor, sons John, George and Brumhead (latter both under 21) and daughter Sarah Baptisms of his children at Tisbury - 1830 John and 1836 (born 1832) Brumhead and Sarah (born 1835) Sarah - children of John Rogers, esquire and wife Eleanor

There is a gap between 1790 and 1830 in Rogers family references in Tisbury, between the baptism of Joseph son of John and Sarah Rogers and the first baptism of a child of John Rogers, esquire. This suggests that this may be a different Rogers family or at least one that moved away from Tisbury, only to return later with better fortune.

1804 East Stour Enclosure Plots 154 and 179 sold to Nicholas Rogers Plots 156 and 214 sold to John Rogers Note - Both brothers and sons of Francis Rogers of Tisbury, half brothers of Francis Rogers Gray who also ended up owning land at East Stour.

Will of Francis Rogers, made 29/8/1787 and proved at Sarum 12/6/1792 Says he was of Wickwood Farm, Tisbury and a yeoman. Bequeaths - to his beloved wife Philippa annuity of fifty pounds a year to sons John Rogers and Nicholas Rogers appointed joint executors the remainder of money, stock, goods, chattel and effects. Signed by Francis Rogers with his seal. Witnessed by Dinah Gray with her mark, 'x', as servant to the testator.

Wickwood Farm, Tisbury - according to the owner of neighbouring Wick Farm (2008) these farms were owned by the Bennett family of Pythouse. If this was the case the Rogers family also, it appears from the note below, leased land from the Arundells of Wardour.

1781 and 4 leases (National Archives) Henry Lord Arundell to Francis Rogers of Wickwood, Tisbury, yeoman; land described Spelsbury Lane, Tisbury

Children of Francis and Philippa Rogers at Tisbury - 1756 John (m 1783 Mary Rixon of Semley) (bu 1816, age 59, of Weekwood Farm'), 1759 Francis (bu 1783), 1761 Nicholas. 1761 - on the baptism of son Nicholas, Francis was of 'Wickwood'.

1756 Francis Rogers signed on his marriage and Phillippa gave her mark 'x'.

John Rogers (1689 - 1755)

Will of John Rogers of Tisbury made 21/2/1755 Weak of body but sounds of mind and memory. Bequeaths - to son in law Matthew Combe sum of fifty pounds, to daughter in law Mary Rogers and her four children one shilling a piece, to son Nicholas one shilling, to son in law Renalder Freake one shilling, to granddaughter Mary Target five pounds when she is 21 years old, all the rest and residue of goods and chattels to his loving wife and at her decease be equally divided between two sons Francis and Elisha, makes his wife whole and sole executrix. Signed with his mark and seal. Administration of 11/10/1757 States that Margaret Rogers, sole executrix of the above will died before being able to take the burden of execution. Son Francis Rogers takes possession of the property referred to in the will. Signed by Francis Rogers with seal and Thomas King / Alexander Mercer. Note no reference in the above administration of son Elisha Rogers.

1723 & 1730 baptisms of children to John Rogers 'of Week Wood (i.e. Wickwood Farm in Tisbury)'. Note - 'wick' in Anglo Saxon meant 'farm'. So 'Wickwood Farm' is Farmwood Farm!

Children of John and Margaret Rogers at Tisbury - 1713 John, 1717 Nicholas, 1720 Francis (m 1756 Philippa Coombes), 1723 Elisha* (m 1759 Tisbury, Mary Scammell), 1730 Mary (m Targett) * - left a well dated 1790, he was a farmer in Tisbury and refers to sons John, William and James and daughters Mary and Elizabeth. Will witnessed by John Rogers, probably elder brother.

Wickwood inheritance - 1720 the inheritance of the farm passed from Nicholas Rogers to his nephew Nicholas, son of Nicholas senior's brother John. However Nicholas junior died the next year and it appears without an heir because Wickwood came into the ownership of Nicholas' brother John Rogers.

John Rogers (c1650 - 1705)

Will of Mary Rogers made 2/2/1718 Refers to sons John and Nicholas, daughters Elizabeth (born 1686) and Susana, children of daughter Mary (Mary born 1683) - John and William. Will proved 8/6/1720.

Will of John Rogers made 1/11/1705 Of Wick in Tisbury, sick in body but sound of mind and perfect memory. Bequeaths - to Mary his wife fourty pounds and the bed that he now lys (sic) upon, warming pan, two boxes, tableboard and chamber in which he lyes (sic), son John* fourty pounds when he is 21 and wearing clothes, cousin William Rogers* a ? worth five shillings, grandson John Adlem a ? worth five shillings, to Thomas Scammell thirty pounds which sum he promised and 'gave it under my hand as a portion (?) with my daughter Elizabeth', to daughter Mary Adlem two shillings and six pence, remainder of goods and chattels to loving son Nicholas Rogers*, full and sole executor. Signed by John Rogers with seal. Inventory signed by Nicholas Rogers and another totalling 312 pounds 17 shillings and 6 pence mostly farm stock, cattle and crop. Inventory £312 17 shillings and 6 pence total.

Gravestone at Tisbury churchyard - On opposite side to the memorial to John and Margaret, "also of Francis and George sons of John and Mary Rogers" Note - must have been children of John and Mary Rogers who did not survive to adulthood (not mentioned in the above will of 1705).

Children of John and Mary Rogers at Tisbury - 1684 Mary (m Adlem), 1686 Elizabeth (m Thomas Scammell), 1689 John, ? Nicholas (bu 1721) (m Susanna), ? Francis, ? George ? - see about for Francis and George and references on the gravestones, however I am now confident that they were sons of John and Mary as they do not appear in the will and no baptism exists, but then neither does it for Nicholas and he is confirmed as a son and surviving after 1705. www.british-history.ac.uk From: 'Parishes: Tisbury', A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 13: South-: Chalke and Dunworth hundreds (1987), pp. 195-248 Wick was a settlement in the early 12th century near the site of the present Wick Farm. It may have been a hamlet in the late 14th century but was later a single farmstead: c. 1700 Wick Farm was rebuilt and a new farmstead, Wickwood, was built between Wick and East Hatch. Both farmhouses survive, Wick with farm buildings of the 19th and 20th centuries, Wickwood with a 19th-century barn which was converted into a house in the late 20th century.

1720 Will of Nicholas Rogers Made 6/7/1720. proved 25/7/1721. Yeoman of Tisbury. Refers to - Sister-in-law Susan Rogers and her son William Rogers*. Kinswoman Elizabeth wife of Thomas Scammell. Kinswoman and servant Elizabeth Knight. Kinsmen John and William sons of John Adlam. Kinsman John Rogers*. Sister Mary Widmore. Rest and residue to Nicholas Rogers son of my late deceased brother John Rogers* - sole executor'. Nicholas Rogers - 1709, 1712 & 1714 children John, William and Martha to Nicholas Rogers of 'Weekwood', however these children did not survive along, wife Susanna was buried in 1718 to Nicholas Rogers of 'Lawn' and in July 1721 when he was buried Nicholas is again referred to as 'of Lawn'. Poor Nicholas died alone having lost three children and a wife in short succession. The above will proves the connection of Nicholas Rogers who was baptised 1648 to Nicholas Rogers and the John Rogers who died 1705, despite the lack of a baptism record for the latter. Further it links the line above of the Rogers of Tisbury to that of the line of Rogers of Mere. Nicholas Rogers who was baptised 1648 was the first Rogers record at Tisbury and his father Nicholas (son of gentleman William Rogers) was born at Mere. Links above in the wills of the two brothers shown in bold with an *.

Nicholas Rogers (c1630 - 1694)

1694 burial of Nicholas Rogers of West Hatch at Tisbury.

Children of Nicholas and Dorothy Rogers - 1648 Nicholas (Tisbury), 1656 Mary (Tisbury) (married Widmore), ? John, ? Katherine (bu 1664 Tisbury), ? son (married Susan)

Note - whilst Nicholas was baptised 1634 and married before 1648 (possibly making him 14) it is likely he was baptised later in childhood and Nicholas did use the name Mary for one of his children (probably for his mother Mary (nee Goddard)), there is no evidence of the burial of another Nicholas Rogers baptised 1634 in Mere either in childhood or adulthood, West Hatch is the Mere side of the Tisbury parish and the name William Rogers is used by his grandson John. I am therefore confident of this link between Nicholas Rogers son of William of Mere and Nicholas Rogers later of West Hatch in Tisbury. William Rogers (1603 - 1665)

The children of Edward & Elizabeth were - 1798 George, 1795 Mary, 1795 Martha, 1787 Henry, 1785 Edward Assuming that the Elizabeth buried 1834 aged 77 was the wife of Edward then she would have been born 1757 which is too late for the daughter of James/Ann but about right for Henry and Bettey as they were married 1756 and she was probably baptised when a couple of years old. In terms of the children of both couples only one name is common to either set of potential parents - Henry. This again favours the Henry and Bettey link and so I have gone with this parentage below.

Pentridge parish registers start in 1713. Titt family Note that this line is from the ancestral information on IGI of John Webb, however it is highly questionable as dates given for Kilmington and Sutton Veny are prior to parish registers starting.

Christian Titt m 1/11/1563 Kilmington Henry Meaden b c 1543 Sutton Veny, Wilts * b 8/2/1538 Kilmington, Somerset d 6/12/1578 Kilmington d 5/4/1588 Kilmington I Stephen Titt m bf 4/1543 ? b bf 1525 * b bf 1525 d aft 1543 d aft 1543 I Stephen Titt m bf 1525 ? b bf 1495 Frome, Somerset b bf 1507 d aft 1525 d aft 1525

* Another Stephen Titt married in Sutton Veny in 1570. The name and place suggests a connection to Christian born in 1543. Stephen's father was Thomas Titt born in 1527/1528 and his father was Stephen born in about 1495 in Frome in Somerset according to IGI. I have thus guessed that Thomas was the uncle of Christian.

Census entries - see final spreadsheet for full details 1901 - Church Street, Berwick St John, Wilts, age 79, widow 1891 - Church Street, Berwick St John, Wilts, age 69, widow 1881 - Water Street, Berwick St John, Wilts, age 57, wife 1871 - Luke Street, Berwick St John, Wilts, age 47, wife 1861 - East End, Berwick St John, Wilts, age 38, wife 1851 - Water Street, Berwick St John, age 29, wife 1841 - missing, see below

Sarah Trew is missing from the 1841 census unless she is using a second christian name as Elizabeth aged 20 with mother Harriet Burt or a Jane aged 20 who was working at Fonthill Gifford lunatic asylum as a servant. On her marriage in 1841 Sarah notes her residence as Fonthill Gifford. Reference to her father is blank. We do know that her father was James but by then he had been dead for 18 years and she was just 3/4 years old when he died.

Children of George and Sarah Burt at BSJ - 1842 James, 1845 Charles, 1847 Ellen, 1849 Stephen, 1852 Edwin Henry (?)* * note to check - there is a memorial in BSJ churchyard to Edwin Henry Burt, son of George and Sarah, aged 20

Certificate of marriage 12th October 1841, parish church of Fonthill Gifford, Wilts George Burt, full age, bachelor, labourer, residence - Berwick St John, father - unnamed Sarah True, full age, spinster, residence - Fonthill Gifford, father - unnamed* Signed by George and Sarah, both with 'x', and witnessed Emma Ridout and Stephen Ridout*, by minster Wm Rigdon * probably because James True died when Sarah was just 10 months old.

James True (1796-1823) Children of James and Harriet Trew at Fonthill Gifford - 1822 Sarah (only child). 1818 marriage James age 21 to Harriet age 18. James signed on his marriage and Harriet gave her mark.

* James could in fact be one of two - 1) James son of John and Mary (nee Humphreys) Trew baptised 11/6/1797 2) James son of Sarah Trew baptised 17/9/1797 The other James married Sarah Farrett at FG in 1826. On balance and with nothing else to choose between then I think that James of this line was the one baptised to Sarah as he later used the name Sarah for his one and only child and did not use John or Maria/Mary.

Sarah True (1769-1818)

Children of Sarah Trew at Fonthill Gifford - 1796 James.

Wiltshire Dissenters 1689-1852 - Certificates by JH Chandler 20/6/1781 Tisbury - messuage, tenement or dwellinghouse of Thomas Turner, Independent signed William Turner (note - Mary's brother or nephew?), William March and James Sydenham housekeepers Note - is this an indication of a general Turner family affiliation to independent non-confirmism? In 1782 a Mrs Thomas Turner, Joanna, came to Tisbury from Trowbridge, where she had founded the Tabernacle Church, and by 1797 united two chapels and what is now called 'Turners Chapel' was founded. William Turner (1676-1772)

1758 burial of May is assumed, does not state 'widow'.

1751 burial says William Turner of East Hatch.

Children of William and Mary Turner at Tisbury - 1703 Mary (of East Hatch, m 1720 William Hiscock), 1707 William (of EH), 1712 Susannah (bu 1712, of East Hatch).

William could be the son of three Turner families- 1676 of William and Ann - most likely. 1664 John and Martha - widow Martha Turner buried 1710 'of Chicksgrove' not East Hatch. 1663 John and Eliza - Elizabeth Turner died 1672, husband John left a will 1683 which refers to 5 children but no William. Another William born 1676 to Thomas and Joan was buried in infancy.

William Turner (1645-1727)

1751 burial of Ann is assumed, does not state 'widow'.

Children of William and Ann Turner at Tisbury - 1673 Anne (to Wm jnr & Ann), 1676 Thomas & William, 1679 Elizabeth, 1684 Thomasin.

1673 daughter Ann baptised to William Turner junior and Ann. This suggests William was the son or grandson of a William senior however I find no reference to the baptism of a William to a William or for a link to a grandparent who could be William senior. This may therefore just refer to an older member of the extended family, which is unusual. There is a William and Mary Turner having children 1661 to 1667, they were married 1656 at Tisbury. However that is probably too early to be the parents of the Willliam having children 1673 onwards and I think the fact that William and Ann used the names Thomas and Thomsin shows the connection to Thomas Turner and Tomson Gray and therefore the William 'junior' probably refers to his uncle being William 'senior'.

Children of John and Grace Turner at Tisbury - 1614 Thomas (m Thomson Gray), 1615 Grace, 1617 John, 1619 Walter, 1622 Elizabeth

Note - John born 1589 could be son of Clement born 1588 however I think son of Thomas is more likely as he used the name Thomas for his children, not Clement.

Wiltshire Machine Breakers, Jill Chambers 1993 an abstract of the last monthly payments made by the overseers of the parish of Fonthill Gifford 25th December 1834 Harriet True's three children - rent 2 shillings, total cash 14 shillings - paid 16 shillings Note - Harriet had three children with James and another baseborn in 1826 after he'd died and before she remarried. I don't know why she is still referred to in the overseers records as True as she was married again and became a Burt in 1830.

William Burt (1807-1875), Harriet's second husband From http://sfcwebserve.com/HistoryWeb/Docs/Fonthill_Gifford_1851.pdf 'Fonthill Gifford in the mid 19th century' William had a brother Thomas Burt who was sentenced to 7 years transportation for taking part in the riot of 1830 at Pythouse. William was put in prison in 1840 for being unable to pay 1s 3d poor rate. A petitiion was presented to the House of Commons about his situation, some of which refers to his family - "… employed as a day labourer in the parish of Fonthill Gifford, at wages of 9s per week; that he has a wife and five small children under 10 years of age, who are entirely dependent upon his labour for their subsistence; that of the said sum of 9s per week he had to pay 1s per week for the rent of their house and garden which he occupies; that he and his wife are wretchedly clothed, and that his children are almost destitute; not one of them having a shoe to their feet. That during the past winter neither himself nor family have had more than half a bellyfull of the coarsest food, and that consequently he found it impossible to pay the poors'-rate charged upon him, without subjecting himself and family to absolute starvation…"

A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 17: Calne (2002), pp. 64-79. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/ From: 'Calne: Manors and other estates', One, called WITCHAMPTON, later COLEMAN'S farm, may have descended with Heddington Cauntelo manor from the 13th century, and in the earlier 15th century it was the inheritance of Agnes Watkins, a greatgreat-granddaughter of Maud de Cauntelo. In 1437 Agnes and her husband William Watkins settled it on William Witchampton and his wife Alice in tail. The estate evidently reverted to Agnes or her heir, her daughter Agnes Watkins (d. 1499), who married Drew Mompesson.

From: 'Heddington' In 1238 Humphrey, earl of Hereford, gave the main part of the moiety to Roger de Cauntelo in an exchange, and conveyed what was probably a small part to John Rivers. Evidently after 1242 Rivers gave his land in Heddington to Lacock abbey for the maintenance of two chaplains, and the abbey presumably added it to Heddington manor. The main part of the moiety descended in the Cauntelo family. Robert de Cauntelo held it in 1316, and in 1329 it was held for life by Maud de Cauntelo with remainder to another Robert Cauntelo and his wife Joan. It passed to Robert and was held for life by his later wife and relict Maud (d. 1402). In 1402 the estate reverted to Robert's and Maud's granddaughter Elizabeth Cauntelo, the wife of Richard Cheddar, and in 1428 Richard (fl. 1431) held it by the courtesy. On Richard's death the estate reverted to Agnes, the great-great-granddaughter of Maud de Cauntelo (fl. 1329) and the wife of William Watkins. The Watkinses may have held it in 1437, and it passed to their daughter Agnes, the wife of Drew Mompesson (d. by 1488). On Agnes's death in 1499 the estate passed to her son John Mompesson, and on his death in 1511 it passed to his son Edmund …

From http://archive.org/details/pedigreesfromple00wrotrich Page 337 Wilts. — William Watkyns and Agnes, his wife, sued Richard Cheddar for waste in the manor of Hedyngton, which was of the inheritance of Agnes. It appeared by the pleadings that one Matilda de Cantilupe had been seised of the manor for her life under the terms of a Fine levied in 3 E. 3, with remainder to Robert son of Reginald de Cantilupe and Joan, his wife, and the heirs of their bodies, and failing such, with remainder to Elizabeth, daughter of Matilda, and the heirs male of her body, and failing such to Matilda, Marjory and Alice, sisters of Elizabeth, in like manner, and failing any male issue of the sisters, to the right heirs of Matilda de Cantilupe for ever.
