Subject: Kempley, Gloucestershire: de Cailly Connection
This item caught my eye recently - my apologies if you know it already. I had it in mind during my recent trip to Normandy (of which more shortly).
The Transactions of the Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society (BGAS Vol XXXVI - 1913, pp 130-142), contain an article on The History of Kempley Manor and Church, Gloucestershire, by W St Clair Baddeley. (Kempley is a small village some 17 miles WNW of Cheltenham, distinguished by its beautiful small Norman Church which still has the remains of wall paintings dating back to about 1110.)
The article includes a pedigree of the de Longchamp family, in which W St C B notes that Kempley was part of the dowry of Emma de St Leger when she married Hugh de Longchamp (in very roughly 1170), and shows that Hugh’s younger brother Stephen de Longchamp married Petronel, daughter of Osbert de Cailly (probably in about 1200 +/- 20 years or so). [This provides a somewhat tenuous link between the de Caillys and Kempley, but it does apparently account for the W St C B mentioning the de Caillys at all.]
PART I
The marriage (cc 1200) of Petronel de Cailly to Stephen de Longchamp apparently produced 3 daughters:-
1. Richenda de Longchamp - married (cc1230) Matthew de Cleres, Castellan of Dover
2. ???????? de Longchamp - married (cc 1230) (?Stephen d’Evreux)
3. ???????? de Longchamp - ????????
Notes:-
(A). The village of Cailly-sur-Eure (current population 233) and the town of Evreux (51,198) are only 13 km (8 miles) apart.
(B). The two Caillouets are also each only 15 km (9 miles) from Cailly-sur-Eure.
(C). I happen to have a ref to an Osberto Caiuel (Somerset) in an 1181 Pipe Roll.
PART II
The de Longchamp pedigree throws some interesting light on the family into which Petronel de Cailly was marrying. In summary Hugh de Longchamp (died c 1197): son of Gilbert de Longchamp: descendant of Hugh de Longchamp 5th Baron who died 1184. The Hugh who died 1197 married a de Laci.
They had 6 sons and were evidently a prominent family at that time:-
1. Henry de Longchamp, Sheriff of Hereford, died 1204
2. Osbert de Longchamp, Sheriff of Yorkshire and Westmoreland
3. Hugh de Longchamp, held 1 fee in Normandy
4. William de Longchamp, Chancellor of England, Bishop of Ely, died 1197
5. Stephen de Longchamp, Steward of Normandy (see above)
6. Robert de Longchamp, Prior of Ely, died 1239
Notes.
(A). Hugh de Longchamp (#3 above) held 1 fee in Normandy - the dowry of his wife Emma (de S Leger) included the Manor of Kempley in Gloucestershire.
(B). William de Longchamp was a famous Chancellor of England, variously in and out of favour with the King, Richard I.
(C). Stephen de Longchamp (#5 above), Steward of Normandy, married cc 1200 Petronel, daughter of Osbert de Cailly (see above).
(D). The County (shire) and City of Gloucester were connected with Normandy in various ways at that time. Robert (Curthose) Duke of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, was buried in 1134 in the Abbey Church of Gloucester, at his own wish. The Abbey later (1540) became Gloucester Cathedral. (One of the Cathedral’s treasures today is a remarkable lifesize painted wooden monument of this Robert of Normandy, depicted as a Crusader and carved some 150 years after his death.)
PART III
Conclusions.
This BGAS reference connects the place and family of (de) Cailly with the Kempley area of Gloucestershire and with specific governing/establishment officials of Normandy, Gloucestershire and elsewhere, in the 12 th and 13 th centuries.
Any comments?
Best wishes to all,

Whilst we have crawled over
the Rockbourne family for years, there is probably much that we still
do not know.
Already, persuing the
reference to Sir Humphrey, I have been led to his associates who,
following his lead began visiting Roanoke SC and transporting settlers to
Virginia. Interestingly they came from Kent and Essex, so we may have been
blinkered in seeking ancestors from the south west counties of the U.K.
rather than the south east. A germ of an idea is developing, and I have
been led back to the original research by Currier-Briggs (a professional
genealogist employed by the CFA). He spoke often about the early Kellaway
settlers.

We popped this Sir William into the 'too hard' basket a couple of years ago. I too have his dates as 1440-1507 with daughters Alice, and Lora who married the famous Sir Amyas Paulett in 1483, and Jane who married John Payne (and his complicated family). Without wishing to further complicate matters at this stage, I believe that it was suggested that these girls had a brother Robert (of New Sarum) who was possibly the father of Robert of the Wards and Liveries!
I seem to remember that we "filed" this subject a while back. Will have to read Kellchat to refresh. What I casually recall is that in a Chancery (or Ct of Request) document, dealing with the "jointure" of Dame Anne (w/o the 2nd William, knight) in the Rockborne estate it is mentioned that Sir John Callaway and Mr. Robert Callaway concurred with Dame Anne's jointure agreement, made at or before her marriage. This raised the question - who is "Mr. Robert" ?

Subject: Cailly-sur-Eure and the two Caillouets
Herewith my Notes on my very brief
visit (a few hours) to our part of Normandy on 04/06/04 - sorry
for delay. 1 Locations 1.1 Caillouet (- Orgeville) (my “Caillouet I
“). Located c 13 km [8 miles] due East of Evreux (itself 56 km
[35 miles] due South of the centre of Rouen). The village lies a
few 100 metres South of Rue Nationale N13. 1.2. Cailly-sur-Eure . Located c 13 km [8 miles] North
of Evreux, on the East bank of the Eure, off the D71 road (and the
larger N154 connecting Evreux and Rouen). (The Eure is a smaller
river which joins the Seine in the southern outskirts of
Rouen, and gives its name to the Departement of Eure (No 27).)
1.3. Caillouet (- le Mesnil Jourdain) (my “Caillouet II”
- the hamlet of Caillouet - within the Commune of le Mesnil
Jourdain - and a new candidate for our attention.) Located c 6 km
[4 miles] WSW of Louviers (itself between Evreux and Rouen), just
S of the D133 road. 1.4. Relative positions.As it happens all three places
lie on a more or less straight line running SE to NW. Cailly-sur
Eure lies near the centre, 15 km [10 miles] from
Caillouet-Orgeville (to the SE), and 10 km [6 miles] from
Caillouet-le Mesnil Jourdain (to the NW). (Caillouet-Orgeville
and Caillouet-le Mesnil Jourdain are thus only about 25 km [16
miles] apart.) 1.5. Maps. The popular series of Pneu Michelin
1/200,000 maps (1 cm : 2 km) generally show Caillouet-Orgeville,
Cailly-sur-Eure and le Mesnil Jourdain. The IGN (Institut
Geographique National) Carte de Promenade Series at twice the
scale (1/100,000) is more informative: Sheet 08 covers all three
and specifically indicates Caillouet-le Mesnil Jourdain. 2. Caillouet (- Orgeville) The village etc still looks rather uninteresting (I last
visited it on 03/07/97). Evidently a purely agricultural
community until the last few decades or so - cottages, barns etc
are still being converted to relatively modest homes, perhaps some
second homes. I have seen little evidence yet of relevant “historical “ past,
although there may be some there. (The village lies on an ancient
Roman road). A modest church of indeterminate date
(reconstructed?) - locked - I haven’t yet been inside, but would
be surprised to find anything very noteworthy. 3. Cailly-sur-Eure Large enough, with a population of 233, to be included in the
Michelin Red Guide. Rather more prosperous. Just before the
village entry sign on the D524 there is a big spread - clearly a
lot of money involved - 100 metre entry drive - (two beautiful
thoroughbred horses grazing) - long row of picturesque converted
half-timbered farmhouse/barns etc lawn - patio - more
outbuildings, some in ruins/not yet reclaimed/converted. On into
the village - stopped at the Bar des Pecheurs for two Espressos (madame
playing dominoes with three local men - not v welcoming) - past
Auberge des Deux Lapins (Logis de France chain) - some big,
expensive/attractive houses/gardens in road down to the river.
Large rectangular building on other side of water - perhaps once a
watermill on a tributary stream? Another similar building
converted to a large house, with car, catamaran on lawn etc etc.
Church - very much like Caillouet I - also locked. Several
venerable half-timbered buildings in the Normandy style. Definitely a “manorial/historical” feeling to the village. 4. Caillouet ( - le Mesnil Jourdain) This Caillouet is a prosperous dormitory hamlet - with many
smart conversions of old houses. No Church in the hamlet - the
Parish Church is that of and at le Mesnil-Jourdain, c 1 km from
Caillouet in a straight line - perhaps 3 km [2 miles] by the
twisting country road). This Church turned out to be part of a
fascinating and very attractive small complex of buildings. The Church itself is relatively large and ancient - perhaps an
Abbey at one time? The present structure apparently dates from the
15-16th Centuries, but is almost certainly on the site
of earlier buildings - needless to say it too was locked.
Attached to the Church is a beautiful old Normandy house, le
Manoir d’Hellenvilliers, containing a lot of very old
half-timbering, stonework etc etc - certainly large enough and
impressive enough to have been a local Manor for some centuries. There is evidence that the Order of the Temple of Solomon was
represented in this Caillouet with some sort of Seigneurie. (The
Order was set up in 1118 and the Knights Templar were a major
force in the Crusades (following the earlier example of Duke
Robert of Normandy)). Apparently there is currently a "Pub Les
Templiers" Bar/Discotheque in the village!. 5. Comments I am interested and surprised to note that any official
reference to “Caillouet” (ie without further qualification) seems
invariably to refer to Caillouet - le Mesnil Jourdain, rather than
to Caillouet - Orgeville. This may be just the luck of the draw so far, but I am inclined
to the idea that although (i) they are both within the Departement
of Eure, and (ii) close to each other, and (iii) only Caillouet -
Orgeville) is included in Michelin Maps, it is Caillouet - le
Mesnil Jourdain which is in some way the “senior“. And so my friends I propose Caillouet - le Mesnil Jourdain
for our serious consideration and further study as a possible fons
et origo of the C/K clan. Any comments? With Best Wishes (and sincere apologies for a very turgid paper

Records, compiled by Sherrill U Williams. Dewlish:

- taxed for goods There is no evidence as
yet of the origin of the Dewlish family. However Dewlish is in
the heart of Dorset, close to most of the recorded locations of
the C/K family, from Calawe Weston in the 1200s, through
Sherborne in the 1400s. As all of these men were
from Develysche (Dewlish?) Manor, the name differences
presumably disguise the same family. Being a manor, it could
be assumed Develysche was a C/K family property before 1525. As John and Robert
appear in 1525, and 20 years later, they were presumably born
around 1490-1500. Edward possibly around 1480, Thomas more
likely about 1515-20. The “goods” would
presumably mean merchandise of some sort, very likely wool.
John possibly working
for Edward and Robert at the earlier date, was perhaps
itinerant? Thomas, who may have
some relevance on the Isle of Wight, was evidently living at the
manor in 1542-5. Milborne St Andrew (2km
from Dewlish):

c - Father William 1588 Arthur Kellway
c 1594 Thomas Kellway
c - Father William 1595 John Kellway
m - Alice Eyers 1596 Thomas Kellway
b The 1525 Edward, Richard
and John were almost certainly closely related, born also around
1490-1500. It could also be assumed
that Edward from Dewlish was the same man as Edward from
Milborne, possibly moving from the Develysche Manor to Milborne
between 1525 and 1545. Possibly the senior, and father of
Richard and John, also of Robert and Thomas from Dewlish. The
two Johns could have been cousins. There are no BDM records
available for Dewlish at that time, and it appears that the
remainder of the family might have left the manor some time
after 1545, for elsewhere, but they were not recorded in
Milborne. There apparently was
also a William in Milborne, born around 1560, with two sons
named Thomas, neither of whom may have survived. Again Edward appears as
the merchant. Richard initially was working for wages.
The names are more
recognisable. Mappowder (10km from
Dewlish): 1539 Peter Keyleway
Muster Roll Milton Abbas (3km from
Dewlish and Milborne): 1542 Peter Cayleway
Muster Roll Mappowder and Milton
Abbas are both close to Dewlish. Whether or not location
is relevant to the families there, it appears that Peter, born
perhaps about 1515, did live nearby, and moved from Mappowder to
Milton Abbas. He also presumably held
property to be included on the Muster Roll. While there remains no
clear evidence as to who these men were, Melcombe Bingham, or
Binghams Melcombe, is also only about 3km from Dewlish, Milton
Abbas and Mappowder. The name suggests it may have been one of
the properties inherited from the Bingham family in the early
1400s, as therefore may have been Develysche Manor. The first Sir William of
Rockborne c1440-1507 was said to have had brothers Peter and
Thomas, neither of whom have families recorded elsewhere.
The descendants of
William of Stalbridge c1495, son of Thomas c1470 and brother of
Robert, included Thomas, Richard, Peter, Henry and William – all
names included above. It is known that the C/K
family was on the Isle of Wight in the 1500s. Among the recorded
listings are: Earliest listing, in

Elizabeth Callawaye Daughter
Edward Callawaye Brother Thomas
Callawaye Brother John
Callawaye Son of brother Thomas Thomas was born c1543 in
Dewlish Dorset. He has been specifically
recorded, was presumably of some import, and therefore could be
assumed to have been the son of one of the three men listed in
Dewlish at that time – Thomas, John or Richard - possibly the
grandson of Edward. A John was on the IOW in
1522 – but a labourer? To have a brother Thomas
was not unusual. William of Stalbridge, born about the same
time as the Dewlish men, marrying twice, had two sons named
Thomas. Brading: 1574 John Calaway
m – Elizabeth Neet Was he related to Thomas
– another brother? Newport: 1581 Richard
Callaway c – Father Thomas 1581 Thomas
Callaway m – (Agnes?) Dapernell Presumably the family of
Thomas of Thorley, although Richard was not in his will. Godshill: 1584 John Calaway
b – Will Was he the son of Sir
John? There is no defined
evidence of connection between these families in Dorset and the
Isle of Wight, apart from Thomas being born in Dewlish, and no
evidence of association later, but it seems likely that the
family retained some connection, even into the 1800s. It also seems possible
that the Dewlish family was descended from the brothers of the
first Sir William, thereby explaining to some extent how the
grandsons of Sir William, the sons of Sir John, John and Henry,
served on the island around 1545. John remaining at

Kelway Willoughby Bill The tomb/memorial is of our mutual friend, Robert Kelway,
the Wards and Liveries man who died 21 Feb 1580. The Leicestershire and Rutland Volume of Nikolaus Pevsner’s
series - The Buildings of England - has a little info
(pp280/281), and includes a photo of the complete Kelway
Monument (p54). The alabaster figure of Robert K, in legal robes, is
particularly fine - as are the three others. The adult female
figure in the right foreground (and the subject of your www
ref) is Robert’s daughter Anne (b c1551), the wife of John
Harington. The male figure in the left foreground is that John
Harington, who apparently had this monument erected in memory
of his father-in-law. The small girl figure tucked in behind Anne (not quite
visible in your ref) is a child of John and Anne (but it is
not clear whether she is Lucy or Frances Harington). The two corners above the main arch of the monument each
contain a Coat of Arms, with some very complex heraldry in
which the Kelway Arms are prominent. In principle the complete
Arms should/just might enable us to identify positively the
origins of this Robert Kelway. The centre of the arch has a typically fulsome inscription
in Latin - which includes some nice declensions of the name -
Keylwey/Keylweiium/Keylweii/Keylweyo! Elsewhere in Exton Church is a Harington Monument, to
another John (d 1524) and his wife Alice, perhaps the parents
of the above John. Finally, I have a soft spot for the Harington family - one
Sir John Harington invented in 1594 a very passable
water-closet which Queen Elizabeth had installed in her Palace
at Richmond - thus anticipating the legendary Thomas Crapper
by nearly three centuries! All the best From: Sherrill Williams From: Warwick Kellaway From: Sherrill Williams Hi Warwick and

It sounds as though you had a very interesting trip, especially
with the discovery of another place named “Caillouet.” As a
person with that surname, I do thank you for making that discovery
and for sharing the information! Two questions however: (1) Was
the name spelled locally with a tréma or with any other
diacritical mark? (2) How was the name pronounced locally?
For some years now, I have been building a (still small)
collection of place names in France where persons with the name
“Caillouet” live (or lived), were born or died or buried, or were
married. Some of these names even came to my attention through
the Callaway website. Some came through correspondence with
living persons named “Caillouet.” Many are indeed clustered in
Eure, but others are in Brittany, Normandy, and Poitou. None,
alas for you, are from the era of the 11th Century
thus not likely to be helpful to you in connecting “Callaway” to “Caillouet.”
I’ve also done a bit of map searching for place names in France
having something in common with the surname “Caillouet.” That
means searching for “cail” words and “ouet” words. Southern
Brittany has quite a number of place names ending in “ouet,” “ouët,”
“oet,” “oët,” the meaning of which in Bretonne may be related to
the French “ouest” (the English west). This, coupled with the way
“Caillouet” was misspelled by royal notaries in New France (i.e.,
“Cayouette”), leads me to believe that in Brittany at least
“Caillouet” was pronounced “Ky-you-wet” rather than Ky-you-way
but you’ve heard that argument before.
The real purpose in my writing you is to ask if you have ever
investigated another place I’ve found in my map searching: Have
you ever noticed the place called “Chailloué” just north of Sées,
which in turn is just north of Alençon on highway 138 in Orne,
rather than Eure? It seems to me that “Chailloué” might be a
closer match to pipe rolls entry “Chaillewai” than “Caillouet”
would be. “Chailloué” would be pronounced “Ky-you-way,” would it
not?

You have got us going again about Caillouet. It is so
frustrating living down here in the Antipodes. In the
past I have got a huge amount of information from the
LDS, but never anything of much value on France.
You should have my note from late last night. There
just has to be something there about Cailly-sur-Eure and
the two Caillouets. It almost
seems, at this stage, that the French are confused
themselves. Probably, as with us, no-one has actually
got around to doing the research, and it would be
difficult for us to access their documents, let alone
any language peculiarities. The fact that there are two
Caillouets so close together must have caused problems,
hence their means of differentiation.
As with the others, I have never seen the "new" one, but
the village sounds very interesting in itself. As you
say, what appear to be medieval buildings must indicate
a place of some import. If an Abbey, we could be
looking at a foundation back to the 7-800s. There are
records of the early abbeys. The "other" Caillouet was
on a Roman Road, therefore possibly older, but it could
also have grown on the road at some later date.
Cailly-sur-Eure would appear to be an original Viking
settlement, but possibly after the Abbey.
All supposition, as is my suggestion that the evidence
suggests the Cailli family was the principal family
there, and the two villages possibly the homes of
younger members - les Caillouets.
We are however getting scraps of the crossword, and
slowly getting the real picture.

I've been reading the mail and trying to absorb the trend
Warwick is setting regarding Dewlish. This brings up the
problem of the "manor records." Do any survive for Dewlish?
If so, where are they? The manor records deposited at
Somerset RO are one of the reasons for our success in tracing
the C/Ks in that county. Many manor records remain in private
hands, mainly in those families who managed to maintain some
status into modern times. Many such records have decayed for
lack of care; some probably went into the trash. Some may be
filed with solicitors, and some are just hidden away in
libraries, records offices and other places. What family held
the manor at Dewlish? I suppose the clue is in those who paid
taxes on the Land on the subsidy rolls. I will look into
that. The manors held court, and you find your people
mentioned in those; also, the various leases, copyholds, etc.
are recorded there, as well as subsidy rolls and such. Much
of this information never made it into crown or civil records.

Subject: Robert W & L/Bapton Estate
The ownership of an estate in BAPTON, then claimed as a 'manor', was contested in the early 16th century between members of the Kellaway family and other suitors. Some time between 1486 and 1493 or between 1504 and 1505 a Thomas Hymerford claimed to have been seised of the 'manor', but to have been deprived of the deeds by Thomas Kellaway, (Footnote 68) and in the period 1532–44 Edmund, son of Thomas Estcourt, laid a similar charge against Robert Kellaway. (Footnote 69) In 1545 a John Kellaway was living in Bapton, (Footnote 70) and it was no doubt he who in 1566 bought out Edmund Estcourt's interests in Fisherton and other places (Footnote 71) and who died in 1568 seised of a capital messuage and lands in Bapton and Tisbury, held of the Marquess of Winchester as of Fisherton manor. (Footnote 72) There is some reason to think that Robert and Thomas Kellaway, mentioned above, were respectively his father and grandfather. (Footnote 73) If this is so, then John's great-grandfather was called William Kellaway. William married a Joan Barret, and in 1413 a John Barret was holding land in Bapton, Tisbury, and other nearby places, which he acquired from his cousin, Thomas Payne, who, in his turn, had acquired them from his father-in-law, John Ellis. This Ellis had another son-in-law, called Walter Estcott—presumably the same as Estcourt. (Footnote 74) It is possible that it was through the gift of John Payne to John Barret that the Kellaway lands in Bapton were first acquired and the claim to those lands by Edmund Estcourt first set up.
John Kellaway was succeeded in the capital messuage by his son Henry. (Footnote 75) He and his son Robert leased the property to Joan Hibberd and Henry Hoskins, her son, in succession, and in 1599 this lease was renewed to Hoskins alone. This second lease took effect about 1620. (Footnote 76) In 1625 Robert Kellaway, his son Robert, and a third person sold the freehold, under the name of Bapton Farm, to Sir Edward Wardour, (Footnote 77) who by 1627 had also acquired the interest in the lease of 1599. (Footnote 78) Wardour, in turn, sold it in 1627 to John Davis, a yeoman from North Wraxall, (Footnote 79) who in 1626 had married Joan Hoskins.

Touché young Willoughby! Go to the head of the class. Of course it is Harrington. The real Robert W&L with a much more aesthetic nose is attached. My son Pete, resident in London will shortly attempt to photograph those intriguing coats of arms.

In 1610 a patent was granted to Sir W. Slingsby for burning coal in furnaces, and coal appears to have been used in the Broad Street works. In 1615 all patents for glass-making were revoked and a new patent issued for making glass with coal as fuel, in the names of Mansel, Zouch, Thelwall, Kellaway and Percival. To the last is credited the first introduction of covered crucibles to protect the molten glass from the products of burning coal.

C6.168/33. 30 January 1663/4. Jeremiah Callaway of Southwark, merchant, and Martha his wife the only daughter and heir of William Gunthrop, late of St. Leonard’s, Shoreditch, Middlesex, esquire, deceased, and William Callaway, Jeremiah Callaway, Gunthrop Callaway, Thomas Callaway, Martha Callaway, Mary Callaway and Katherine Callaway, children of the said Jeremiah and Martha, being all infants under 21, are the plaintiffs in this case. The evidence is extremely voluminous, and there are inventories and accounts attached to the papers. The only genealogical evidence is as follows: In 1656 William Gunthrop lent Robert Thomas late of Richmond, Surrey, gent. since deceased, and Peter Browne, Citizen and Apothecary of London, L500. The security was a 500 year lease of Thomas’s property to Edmund King, Merchant Taylor of London called the Sign of the Gilded Cock, late in the tenure and occupation of Roger Hughes and then in the tenure and occupation of John King in Westcheap, Cheapside, in the parish of St. Pancras, London, together with other properties.

Note 8. Chancery case C5/99/83 and 86. [Currer-Briggs abstract]
14 November 1687. Bill of James Amey of London, grocer, and Katherine his wife, late daughter and one of the orphans of Jeremiah Callaway late Citizen and Cutler of London, deceased. Jeremiah Callaway died in 1682 intestate leaving no wife, whereby the administration of his goods and chattels did belong to Jeremiah Callaway of London, merchant, his eldest son who has since taken the administration of his late father’s estate upon him and possessed himself of the personal estate of the said intestate to the value of L1180.16s.9d.
In July 1683 before John Callaway Junior had exhibited an inventory of his father’s estate into the Court of Orphans, London, came to your orator and oratrix at sign of the Crowne in White Fryers and promised to pay the L110 the next day as part of your oratrix’s portion and pretending he did not know what was due to your orator in right of his wife, whether it was more than L110 or less till he had exhibited the inventory. He did obtain a general release of some other writings from your orator and oratrix on condition that if it should appear more was due to them according to the custom of the City of London (there being several other children of the said intestate) John Callaway Junior promised to pay them or Mr. Francis Lee a merchant in London for the use of your orator and oratrix whatsoever would appear to be due to them. Notwithstanding the general release this was done by word of mouth and not in writing, and John Callaway junior paid the L110 next morning. He has since cinfirmed his promise in writing by a letter addressed to your orator at the Five Sugar Loaves in Dublin, Viz: London, 19 March 1683/4. Loving sister; both yours received informing me you want L20 more if it be your due to buy your husband a place with what you have by you and likewise to acquaint you how the old concern among us - answer, that we have done nothing since you went neither do I know when we shall. I think they are unreasonable in their demands and especially in their claims unless they had better ground for what they do, I am sure ‘tis very hard that I should be aspersed for their imaginations when as yet they have not given themselves the perusal of the inventory. I know not as yet whether any more’s due to you. When I have done with them I do assure you I shall return you what more shall be your due. Your loving brother Jeremy Caloway (which letter your orator and oratrix are ready to produce).
Jeremy Callaway had since exhibited an inventory to the Court of Orphans, London and did charge the estate of the said intestate with L242 more than he ought, which the Alderman’s Court said should not have been charged. It now appears that your orator and oratrix should have a further L126, but Jeremy Callaway junior refuses to pay it. [The answer to this Bill of Complaint is extremely hard to read and appears to contain no genealogical evidence, and does not name the other children of John Callaway senior.]
Note 9. Chancery Case C5/399/66 - [transcribed by Currer-Briggs; Journal Vol. VI, p. 91]
Bill of complaint of John Dodsworth, gent. and Rebecca his wife the daughter of Jeremiah Callaway late of London, cutler, deceased. Jeremiah Callaway had a considerable estate consisting of money, jewels, rings, etc, bonds, bills stock worth L5000 which was more than enought to satisfy his debts. He died in 1682 intestate leaving issue seven children, viz. Jeremiah his oldest son, Gunthorpe, Martha, Mary, Katherine, Joseph and your oratrix Rebecca. Younger children, two of which younger children viz. Martha and Mary were provided for by Jeremiah in his lifetime. Martha, your oratirix Rebecca’s mother having died before Jeremiah, she and the other younger children apprehending by the endeavor of Rebecca’s elder brother that he desired to get into his hand all the personal estate of their father and that he wanted to embezzle the same so that Rebecca and the younger children would be defeated of their dividend of the estate. The younger children entered a caveat to prevent Jeremiah junior Letters of Administration till such time as they should be secured of their dividends. Jeremiah tried to get Rebecca and the younger children to withdraw the caveat. They agreed on condition that Jeremiah the son would give them their portions but now he refuses to do so as he has invested the money in his business. Joseph Calloway, Rebecca’s brother, was entitled to his share but he died and in his will dated August 1683 of which he made Thomas Cole of St Thomas, Sothwark executro, bequeathed as follows: “Whereas my late father died intestate and what proportion I am to have of his estate is as yet unsettled and that I and my youngest sisters are the least provided for, I do therefore give unto my youngest sister Rebecca Callaway half of my estate, goods and chattles that I am posses of or to which I am entitled.” The will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. John Dodsworth and Rebecca his wife now claim Joseph’s half-share. Jeremiah Junior and Thomas Cole have combined together to defraud Rebecca of her share and she seeks remedy at law.

This item opens up a whole new can of worms which must be dealt with as a separate discourse. It involves Jeremiah Calloway, trading in Maryland, and also includes our good friend Anthony Calloway (Salloway/Salway) of Maryland. All speculation hangs on the appearance of Christopher Pym in these two documents and also the “kinsman Robert Webb of the Middle Temple.” We understand the implications of Robert Webb involved in this, but what is the significance of Christopher Pym.....and who is he?

Morning All,
Bruce says we may be casting our net too wide, but I
think the last cast caught a BIG ONE. I refer you to
discussion we had with Kathryn Payne from mid-Nov to
early Dec 2003 (available at KellChat - please refer to
it). The subject was Kelways at Preston Plucknet and a
chart headed by "Robert Kelway of Rockborne" whose wife
was a Berrington. A number of descendantswere listed,
including DANIEL KELWAY and ROBERT WEBB who were shown
to be 1st cousins.
Then we looked at the will of Walter Berrington of Frome
Selwood, Somerset who named his "brother" Robert C/K "of
Lillington." Robert was no doubt a "brother-in-law" of
Walter Berrington, having married a sister of Walter.
"Robert of Lillington" could be no other than the son
(or grandson - but I think son_ of Henry K. who
inherited "Lillington" from his uncle Martin. Henry's
son, Robert, turns up in some of the chancery cases
involving Henry's mishandling of Lillington, against
Martin's wishes set forth in his will.
Folks, I am convinced that the so-called "Robert of
Rockborne" of Preston Plucknet is really "Robert of
Lillington" as shown in Walter Berrington's will.
Thus, I think we will be quite safe in hanging the
Kelways of Preston Plucknet on our Sherborne/Stalbridge
C/K tree - as descendants of Robert Kayleway & Joan
Marshall of Lillington.
This makes Daniel Kelway and Robert Webb quite relevant;
how the Chichester/Southwark group might tie-in remains
to be seen. Christopher Pym's name suggested a link but
who he is remains a mystery. John Pym "of Somerset" held
an important position with the Crown - and Roger Pym
held the manor of Woolavington Pym (formerly part of
Woolavington manor) in Somerset.
We shall have to see how this all plays out. Your
thoughts will be of interest.

due to other descendants appearing in Wilts parish

Hello all,
The above link gives some insight into
the “quadrature
of a circle”. Lends
credence to “exact” being the intended word
in the missive. This writing
precedes the Oughtred
missive by more than 100 years. It
interests me that these cerebral gentlemen
could get so involved and consumed by such
abstract matters. They must not have had TV

absorbed with. This guy did manage to
connect the process back to the Almighty in
a manner which I am not sure will survive

elaborate on any aspects of the treatise

It didn't.
However I suggest the following near the

19 Oct 1673 in
Mochoticks, Westmoreland, Co.
Virginia. Dr. Thomas Gerard, Gentleman,
was baptized in
Winwick
Prish, New Hall,
Lancashire,
England 10 Dec 1608. He was the son of
John Gerard and
Isabel ? of
New Hall and the grandson of Thomas
Gerard and Jane of
Garswood. (Md
Archives Liber XL11 folio 543).
The Gerard family was an ancient and
prominent Roman Catholic family whose
history has been traced back to the time
of the General Survey of the Kingdom
1078.
Thomas Gerard married Susannah
Snowe,
daughter of John
Snowe
and Judith ?
of
Brookehouse,
Staffordshire, England by 20 Jun 1634
(The Lancashire Record Office).
Thomas Gerard, surgeon, came into the
Province of MD by April 1638 with five
men servants (Md
Land Office Patents Liber 1, folio 19).
After several trips between Maryland and
England, Thomas Gerard sold his holdings
in England. On 19 Sep 1650 he demanded
2,000 acres of land for transporting
himself, his wife and 5
chidren, a
Mr Austin Hill, 8 men servants and 4
women servants in to the Province (Md Land office
Patents L AB&H, f 47).
Thomas Gerard became one of the largest
land owners in Maryland.
on 3 Nov
1639, he was issued one of the first
manorial grants to be issued in St
Mary's Co. He acquired a patent for
1,030 acres he called "St
Clement's
Manor" (Md
Land Office Patents Liber AB&H, Folio
68). This patent included St
Clement's
Island, the landing place of the first
Maryland settlers in 1634. With this
patent, he also achieved the status of
"Lord of the Manor". On 24 Mar 1651,
Thomas Gerard received a patent of 1,500
acres, he called "Bastford
Manor" and a patent of 500 acres for
I'St
Winifred's Freehold" (Ibid. Folio
193-194). Thomas Gerard also acquired
3,500 acres of land called Gerard's
Preserve" in Westmoreland County
Virginia. He continued to acquire lands
and at the time of his death his
holdings contained about 16,000 acres.

Since Thomas Gerard's wife Susannah and
their children were
Protestant, he erected an
Anglican Chapel for them on St
Clement's
Manor. According to Edwin
Beitzell's
writings the chapel was erected "at the
head of a branch of St Patrick's Creek".
It was the third Protestant church to be
erected in Maryland.
Thomas Gerard, the surgeon, practiced
medicine in Maryland and Virginia. He
was also very active in the provincial
politics of his day. He served as
juryman at St Mary's in May 1638,
elected a burgess to the assembly from
St Mary's on 19 Feb 1639, commissioned
by the Proprietor as "Conservator of the
Peace" in March 1640 and elected burgess
from St Clement's
Hundred in Sep 1640. Thomas Gerard was
appointed to the Provincial Council by a
commission from Lord Baltimore, dated 17
Nov 1643. He held this position until he
aligned himself with the
Fendall
Rebellion of 1660. With the collapse of
the rebellion, Thomas Gerard was
banished. He went to live in
Westmoreland Co Virginia until he was
pardoned by the Maryland council and was
restored to citizenship in the Province
but was forbidden to hold office (Md Archives Liber
III, folio 406-407).
Susannah (Snowe)
Gerard died in 1666 St
Clement's
Manor. Thomas moved to "Gerard's
Preserve" in Westmoreland County
Virginia. It was there that he married
Mrs. Rose Tucker.
Thomas died in Virginia in 1673 and he
was taken to Maryland and buried beside
his first wife, Susannah
Snowe.
In his will he stated - "Testator
desires to be buried by deceased wife
Susanna". His will was dated 5 Feb 1672
and it was probated in St Mary's County
15 Dec 1673 (Md

THE TRAIL FROM THE MIDDLE TEMPLE OF LONDON TO MARYLAND 17th CENTURY
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) features a very famous K/C viz. Robert (1497-1581) known to researchers of the CFA as Robert of the Wards and Liveries, because of his appointment to sell Monasteries and Chan tries belonging to the Catholic Church after Henry V111 tempestuous break with the church.
Robert, in discharging his duties from the Inns of Court London, which includes the Middle Temple, ensured that some of his (and therefore our) relatives received some fabulous properties at presumably bargain base prices. He also sponsored a number of nephews for entry into the exclusive Inns of Court, thus beginning a most interesting sequence of events.
Robert Keylway b.c.1607, the son of Robert K/C of Lillington Dorset was a Barrister (Attorney) of Grey’s Inn, who in addition to progressing to be one of the Masters of Chancery of England was a friend and student of The Revd. William Oughtred (1574-1660), the brilliant mathematician and inventor of the slide rule. This Robert is recorded as being increasingly involved in a legal sense with events on the other side of the Atlantic in Maryland and Virginia, but it was through his nephews that this accelerated to an extraordinary degree.
Robert’s sister Frances married a Nicholas Webb of Marshfield, Gloucester (27 Aug.1635) and their youngest son Robert (born May 1651) was also admitted to the Middle Temple aged 19 in February 1670.
Robert Keylway’s brother Thomas (b.c1608 m.Gertrude Daniel) had five sons, but it was their son Daniel (Kelway) (1628-1673) who obviously became the entrepreneur in the New World, amassing an apparent considerable fortune from tobacco, plantations and trade goods, which on his death aged 45 in London, he left to his 22 year old cousin Robert Webb of the Middle Temple.
Though the events occurring in the next few years are lacking, it is clear that young Robert Webb obviously decided to leave his law practice in London, because he is recorded as witnessing purchases of land and giving evidence at Proceedings of Council in Maryland in the early 1680’s. He married the widow Elizabeth Berber (nee Songhurst) in London when aged 38, but by 1697 he was appointed Marshall of the Court of Vice Admiralty for Pennsylvania, the lower counties and West Jersey.
At his death in 1701 he was described as a Maryland Merchant and owner of 2500 acres in Pennsylvania and one of the largest tobacco merchants of the lower counties.
