16. John Chaloner
In the Pedigree of the Chaloners of Gisborough, a son of the regicide M.P., Thomas Chaloner is listed, but without a Christian name. Our John Chaloner, born 1630, is the presumed son of the Regicide, though there is no hard evidence to support this claim.
There has always been a hard connection left wanting between John Chaloner of Boylestone and the Guisborough Chaloners, Let's suppose he came up from Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire where the Regicide had property to take up residence on property settled on him by his father before his lands were confiscated following the Restoration.
In the 16th century the family of Mountjoy, whose family name was Blount, held Barton Blount, a hamlet close to Church Broughton. Judith Blount, a distant relative of the Barons of Mountjoy became stepmother of Thomas Chaloner (regicide), when she became his father’s second wife. On her death land she held nearby Church Broughton passed to her stepson, Thomas.
The regicides son, John Chaloner (1630), came up from Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire, where the Regicide had property, to take up residence on this property settled on him by his father, before his lands were confiscated, following the Restoration. John adopted the name Chawner to distance himself from his father's Roundhead connections.
John and his son Thomas subsided into obscurity as country gentlemen and yeoman farmers until their family connections were forgotten, and the family fortunes began to rise. John died in 1695 and was buried in a family vault at Boylestone Church, Derbyshire. The property then passed to his son, Thomas Chawner (1654 -1741), who sometimes now used the name Chaloner. In 1708, Thomas Chaloner (who is actually Thomas Chawner) is recorded as owning land in the parish of Boyleston, and he owned a good deal of land in Church Broughton as well. As his fortunes grew he acquired more land including Lees Hall and Sudbury Wood etc. He is also buried in the family vault at Boylestone
18. Thomas Chaloner
Thomas Chawner (1654 - 1741), who sometimes now used the name Chaloner. In 1708, Thomas Chaloner (who is actually Thomas Chawner) is recorded as owning 8 and a half oxgangs of land in the parish of Boyleston (that included Muse Lane), and he owned 8 and a half oxgangs of land in Church Broughton as well (8 and a half oxgangs equals from 120 to 170 acres). As their fortunes grew they acquired more land including Lees Hall and Sudbury Wood etc. His coffin was the second to be placed in the family vault at Boylestone.
