The above was recently compiled by a professional researcher at Taunton
Record Office. In addition the following was noted for Stowell:
No Church Wardens Accountsrates pre 1789.
No Overseers records pre 1774.
No Court Rolls post 1468 except one from 1848.
No deeds for CHANT's - only 8 from c.1650 to 1730 on record)
No CHANT's in Bastardy and Settlement cases.
No Apprentices, Persons or Quarter Sessions mentioned, even the owner of the
Manor is in doubt!
I've found the following relating to Stowell:
A Richard CHANT is mentioned in a parish history pamphlet (recently bought
in the Milborne Port newsagents). In 1672 he was brought before the Court
for harrassing a lady in Stowell but the record of the outcome has been
lost.
In the S&DFHS pre 1754 marriage index, there is a marriage between James
CHANT of Stowell to Joan COX of Stratton on 30/8/1643 in St. Cuthbert,
Wells, Somerset by Licence.
Also, John CHANT married Edith CUFF on 22/4/1629 in Milborne Port - the
first children of a John and Edith CHANT are baptised in Stowell in 1630,
see above, possibly the same?
Andy CHANT.
