Good question, Carolyn. I know that this has been debated in the past and that both the Strange and the Freville names have been held as *The Right One*. There has been good research and back-up documentation both directions.
You always have been so organized and able to pull out your documentation, but mine is "somewhere" in one of my CHETWODE file drawers, and I have a plate overflowing for the foreseeable future. I would love to take up the question when some of my commitments have been resolved.
But for now, I think that's another one of those "probably we will never know" questions.
What do the rest of you think? Maybe somebody has evidence that we haven't seen yet. Julie? Some of you other early-CHETWODE researchers? What say you?
After all these years, I am still focused on finding the parentage of Matthias!! Until we can make that connection and prove it, then the rest of this fascinating study is just that... fascinating study.

P S - I know that some of you also have TRAMMELL family connections. Dennis TRAMMELL, our Revolutionary War captain, finally has a fitting monument raised to honor his service. The dedication of that monument will be on Saturday, June 20, in Scott County, Tennessee. It promises to be *quite* a celebration. For more information, contact me offlist at

Do you think Sibell wife of Robert Chetwode was the daughter of Thomas Strange and his wife Amabell?
Following are Generations IV and V in the Randle Holme pedigree (ca 1650), as presented by Stephen Tucker in 1884, used as evidence to establish the Barony of Chetwood:
IV. Robert Chetwode. Lord of Chetwode, living in 1105. Arms: CHETWODE. m. Sibell, dau of Thomas Strange and of Amabell his wife. "This Sir Rob't, Lord of Chetwode, did release from him and his heires to the Prior and Canons of Chetwode and their successours in free Almes all rentes, dueties, and servile customes due to the s'd Rob't and his heires which they held of his fee and had in the towne and field of Chetwode, for which release s'd Rob't and his heires which they held of his fee and had in the towne and field of Chetwode, for which release the Priour and Co'vent did graunt yearly to pay to the said Rob't and his heires a marke of silver in the p'ish church of Chetwode, as may appeare by a deed dated the 5 H (1105). And further his wife, Sibell Estrange, in her widowhood did after grant in free almes two yarde land with the appurtennces to ye Hermitage of Chetwode and to the brethren their abideinge."
V. John de Chetwode, Knight. Arms: CHETWODE. m. Olive. John had a younger brother, William de Chetwode. "This Will'm Chetwode gave to Robert Chetwode his Nephew fourtie shillinges by the yeare to be in the town of Horton in co. Kent.

Ooooops - my bad! Multi-tasking isn't always a good idea!
Richard de Freville was Sybil's BROTHER, not her father! The family lands went from the brother to Sybil, but their father was ROGER de Freville. Purportedly. Sorry about that!

Really interesting! I'll have to access that site and see what else is there! It further confirms that Robert (Sir Robert de Chetwode) was married to *Sybil* (Sibell, Sibella) and that they had a son, William - although he was not generally recognized as our direct ancestor. Interesting that it mentions Richard de Frevill, who has been asserted as "Sybil's" father.
However, it also mentions Guy de Strange.... sometimes Sybil's name is claimed to have been "de Strange" rather than "de Freville"... wonder if there really was a connection and, if so, what.
Thanks for sharing this, Julie. You always find such interesting stuff!

In 1086 a mill worth 6s. 4d. yearly is recorded at Wolston (fn. 13) and one worth 26d. at Brandon. (fn. 14) The former may have been Marston mill, which Richard de Frevill gave to Combe Abbey (fn. 15) late in the 12th century. It is referred to again in 1279, when Theobald de Verdon was said to have appropriated fishing rights in the Avon between Bretford Bridge and the mill of Marston, (fn. 16) or 'Meruines melne' as it is called in another entry. (fn. 17) At the same date Theobald had a water-mill at Brandon. (fn. 18) This seems to have been the 'mill of Stratton which is called Perimulne' which was given to Combe Abbey by Robert de Chetwode and Sybil his wife, with the whole suit of his men of Wolston and Marston. (fn. 19) Its site is indicated by a charter of Nicholas son of Bertram de Verdon, of the early 13th century, by which he gave permission to the monks to repair the breaches (breccas) of the mill-pond of Perimulne, whereof 'one of the breaches was between the ditch of my castle of Brandon and my meadow of Sprowsam and the other was at the old pond-bays (baias) with leave to carry earth across his land. (fn. 20) Just west of Brandon Bridge there is a sluice and a water-lead which originally supplied the moat of the castle, near whose south-western angle it expands into a pond and then continues to re-enter the Avon where Wolston Mill still stands. About the same time, in 1227, the abbot agreed to hold Perimulne of Robert de Chetwode and Sybil and her heirs by a rent of 3s. and to make a bridge over the mill-pond near the old ford, for the carriage of their hay and the driving of their cattle. (fn. 21) Under Robert's son William de Chetwode 'the mill of Perie' was charged with a yearly payment of 20s. to the Staffordshire abbey of Haughmond, (fn. 22) to which abbey Guy le Strange and Mary had confirmed 'the mill of Stretton which is on the Avon'. (fn. 23) No later connexion of the mill with Combe is known and, as already stated, it seems to have come to the Verdons by 1279. Nicholas, son and heir of John Bacon of Wolston, and Margaret his wife were dealing with two mills and fishing rights in the Avon at Brandon in 1423, (fn. 24) and in 1605 Nicholas Wentworth bought Perrie Mill from Edward Ferrers and Francis Phillips. (fn. 25) His son Sir Peter bought the manor of Wolston (see below), and in 1699 there were two water-mills attached to the manors of Wolston and Marston. (fn. 26)
The parish appears to have been inclosed in 1692. (fn. 27)
