1507 "CHEVALIER, ANTOINE-RODOLPHK, a Realous Huguenot, born at Montchamps in 1507. When a youth he was compelled to fly into England for life. He completed his studies at Oxford, and being recommended to the Duke of Somerset, he was selected by him to teach the Princess (afterward Queen) Elizabeth the French language. Chevalier subsequently held the professorship of Hebrew at Cambridge, but resigned it in 1570 to return to France. He was again compelled to fly by the renewed per??ecution at the time of the Bartholomew ma??re, and he died in exile at Guernsey in 1572. He was a voluminous author on classical subjects. During his short residence abroad, he left his son Samuel at Geneva, for the purpose of being educated for the Church, under Theodore de Besa. On the revival of the persecutions in France, Samuel took refuge in England, and was appointed minister of the French church in London in 1591, and afterward of the Walloon church at Canterbury in 1595.

Hi - I found your very interesting TEMPLE website. The little nugget of information that particularly interests me is (3rd generation) the marriage of Mary TEMPLE (daughter of Sir John Temple of Biddlesdon & Stantonbury & his wife Dorothy) to Robert NELSON Esq of Grays Inn. I'm wondering if you have any further details about Mary and Robert, eg. their children or Robert's parentage.

Reason I ask - I'm chasing NELSONs and the NELSONs I'm chasing had close dealings with the later Marquess & Dukes of Buckingham at Stowe in Buckinghamshire. It seems like just too much of a coincidence to find this NELSON-TEMPLE marriage and I wonder if Robert is one of my ancestors. If he's from Grays Inn, it could suggest he was a lawyer? Two of my ancestors, both called George NELSON, were - amongst other things - solicitors and seem to have had practices in both London and Buckingham.

I previously found mention of the Mary TEMPLE-Robert NELSON marriage on the IGI - a member submission. It said they married and had children in Stowe but a researcher who has the Stowe PRs says they are not to be found there, nor any children for them. In great hope Celia Renshaw in Nottingham UK PS I checked the other TEMPLE website from your link - 4 NELSONs listed there but none of them Robert. morganhold@ntlworld.com

1607 "Hello Allen, I was interested to see your message which caused me to look up my Chevallier ancestry as the name Temple struck a chord:- A Clement Chevalier [0ne l] 1607-1687 married Susanne Temple of Stowe. There are various Stowes in England but I think that this is the one near Buckingham which is now a well known school. They had Temple Chevalier 1674-1722. He moved from Jersey to Suffolk in 1702 but had no family. He left his Suffolk estate to a nephew, Clement Benjamin, and the name Temple contnued for at least the next 5 generations. I was also inerested in your privateer and attach my list of Cheval[l]ier sea captains. If you can add to it I should be grateful I can elaborate on all this if it is of interest. regards Allen Whitworth whitwort@guernsey.net

"according to White's 1844 Suffolk, Stonham Aspall was so called because the Aspall or Haspele family were lords and patrons there, and their name was added to distinguish this parish from the neighbouring ones of Stonham Parva and Stonham Earl (these days called Earl Stonham). It is not stated when this was. However, my guess would be that that wasn't necessarily the founding of that village - most towns and villages grew out of Celtic or Anglo-Saxon encampments and it is impossible to date them. I cannot find any reference as to whether the Aspall family had anything to do with Aspall the village. Lionel Baker Windmillfoods@btinternet.com

Stonham Aspal and Aspall (see map) are different places, though they are close to one another. Aspall is about one mile north of Debenham, in Hartismere district, or deanery. Stonham Aspal is about three miles southwest of Debenham, in, as you say, Bosmere district. Like Debenham itself, they both have records going back to the 16th century, and none have been extracted to the IGI. There was also an old independent church in Debenham whose records (1706-1837) are on the IGI. I'm researching TEMPLING & TEMPLER in Suffolk, and I think it relates to TEMPLE. I'm researching VINCENT in Suffolk too! Regards Richard Rix Toronto rixrevs@interhop.net

1727 "The Chevallier family are still making cider and vinegar in Aspall, Suffolk. You should be able to pick up some information on it by typing "Chevallier Aspall" on your search engine. I also have a photocopy of a painting of Clement Chevallier of Aspall who founded the Cider business in Suffolk. The painting is dated c. 1727. There is in fact a complete family tree of the Suffolk Chevallier's pedgree contained in volume 2 of 'Suffolk Manorial Family's' pages 266 - 268. One interesting fact obtained and verified from this source is the marriage of Clement Chevallier to Jane Garneys/Garnies who had offspring Rev, Temple Chevallier.

1735 "Hi Allen, Although I am not on the Dorset List, I recently received an E-mail from another lister to tell me they had noticed my interest in the CHEVALIER name in Suffolk and had also noticed it as one of your own names of interest on the Dorset list.

My own interests are centered around Aspall in Suffolk and the following Chevallier family members JOHN CHEVALLIER m. MARY ALEFOUNDER in Aspall Suffolk in 1735 John was the brother of CLEMENT CHEVALLIER who was married to JANE GARNEYS and they were both the sons of CLEMENT CHEVALLIER of the Isle of Jersey.

Although JOHN CHEVALLIER is my only direct ancestor I do have some other Chevallier names (all in Suffolk) on file if you are interested.

To explain the move from the Isle of Jersey to Suffolk - it appears that Clement Chevallier was left an estate in Aspall (Suffolk) by his cousin Temple Chevallier who was buried at Aspall in 1722 age 47. In 1727/8 Clement Chevallier brought apple trees from Jersey to Aspall and started to make and sell cider. He built Aspall Hall, and cider is still made there today. I hope this was of interest, please let me know if you think I can help further. Mick , London - England : does not want name used
