Hi Andrew
mmm well Isack Chante and An Dradge sons John and Hugh's line seem rather
light on
with children for those times so maybe other children existed from which
Johnathon
might be a grandchild or great grandchild. I have noted your suggestion of
Isack's
descent from the Stowell Chant's. 1580 isn't bad as registers only started
in 1538
and were not made semi compulsory until 1597. Even then many registers don't
start
till later.
Do you know where Mary Laws was from?
No doubt the missing snippet of info we need is in a record of somekind yet
to be
located.
Happy Hunting
regards
Michael

Michael,
That's the Jonathan! On his marriage in 1717 it states he's from Clarendon
Park - an extra parochial area to the east of Salisbury (anybody from this
area can use any church in the adjoining parishes or Salisbury Cathedral).
No BT's have survived from Coombe Bissett at this time and I've found no
trace in any other parish in South Wiltshire although there are some Chant's
baptised in Fisherton Anger (west of Salisbury) living Milford (east of the
city) at the same time, also Hindon and Broad Chalke (this includes all the
other Wiltshire CHANT's of Scott BROUGHER, Sarah POTTEN et al).
Jonathan is probably related to one of these branches which appear to all
originate in Stowell, Somerset. This line then disappears as the PR's don't
start until the 1580's!
Andy.

Hello Andrew
I gather your referring to Jonathon Snr who married Mary Laws
at Coombe Bissett in 1717. Are there no clues to home Parish
in the marriage entry either BT or PR? I would check both as
sometimes clues are in one but not the other.
Unfortunately I cannot see a match for Jonathon in any Somerset,
Dorset or Wiltshire line.

Listers, (especially Jill Bryant and Alan Cresswell),
I've just come across the a lease of 1737 for Jonathan CHANT of Bridford
[sic], Wiltshire late of Coombe Bissett for a cottage from a Thomas JERVOISE
of Herriard in Hampshire - HRO ref. no. 44M69/E2/246/2.
The lease is for 99 years on a cottage in Hummington [sic] Lane and mentions
Jonathan's sons Jonathan, John and William. In the same bundle of papers is
an assignment of the lease in 1752 to a John RANDY, taylor [sic] of East
Harnham who lends Jonathan £15 and a further £5 on which interest was paid
until January 1757. A copy of the Bond to John RANDY is also enclosed.
I'm still working through the photocopy kindly provided by Lynne SMITH of
the HGS (who lives in Winchester) but it doesn't seem to provide any clues
to Jonathan senior's father/uncle/brother etc. The answer must be out
there!!
