DETAILS 0 0-William CHILTON (c1717-1.4.1788 Whitchurch) a carpenter [from the evidence of a gravestone in the churchyard at Whitchurch, which marks his grave] It appears that he did not originate from Whitchurch since his baptism has not been found in the parish registers there. [His age (71 years old in 1788) and occupation (carpenter) were recorded on his gravestone.] By 1759 William had settled at Whitchurch where he worked as a carpenter. m by 1759 sp-Mary WAIT b c1732; bur 15.12.1809 "aged 77 years" at Whitchurch; living at Norton Malreward, near Whitchurch, prior to her marriage.

Left 50P in her fr's 1749 will proved 1755.
Although a bachelor at the time of his marriage, William was some 15 years
older than his wife. The place of marriage is not known (probably Whitchurch),
but a marriage licence was sought on 23 August 1759.
In order to obtain the licence William made an oath, details of which
were given in a document known as an 'allegation', to the effect that he
wished to Mary WAIT, and that there was no lawful impediment to the
marriage. William was also required to enter into a bond, requiring him to
forfeit the sum of `200 should the details in the allegation be incorrect,
or the conditions of the licence not be met. Two bondsmen were normally
required, usually a friend or relation. In William's case the second
bondsman was "John DOE". However, this person never existed since the name
"John DOE" was used as a legal fiction, in cases where a second bondsman was
unavailable. [from "Tracing Your family Tree" by J COLE & J TITFORD (1997),
page 68.] William and Mary had married by 1760, as their first known child,
Betty, was baptised at St Nicholas's, Whitchurch, on 5 October 1760. William
would have been aged about 43, and Mary about 28, when Betty was born.
[Was Mary related to Daniel WAIT witness to will of her son-in-law Nathaniel
in 1821?]
In 1781 Mary CHILTON acted as a witness at the marriage of James SWORD to
Rachel MILLS. This was presumably Mary, wife of William CHILTON as his 18 year
old daughter would have been too young. The bride made her mark with a cross
but Mary CHILTON signed her name in a neat hand.
William worked as a carpenter in Whitchurch - his occupation is stated in his
marriage allegation (1759) as well as on his [presumed] gravestone. William
also played an active part in the administration of village affairs. The Vestry
Book records that William attended a number of parish meetings (known as
"Vestry meetings") during 1785 and 1786. [The Whitchurch Vestry minute book
(Bristol Records Office P/WCh/V/1a).] Members of the Vestry were the more
substantial residents of the parish who paid rates. Their responsibilities were
much wider than those of modern-day parish councils since, until the
mid-nineteenth century, the parish was the principle unit of local
government. Vestries therefore had responsibility for the setting and
collection of rates, maintenance of the parish church, and care of the poor and
sick. Regular vestry meetings took the more important decisions, but day-to-day
affairs were delegated to the Churchwarden and Overseer of the Poor, who were
annually elected by the Vestry. These positions were unpaid and could be quite
onerous, but were considered to be a local honour.
On 29 March 1785 William CHILTON was elected Churchwarden for the year
1785-6. William would have had to work closely with his son-in-law, Nathaniel
RUFSEL (3 of 1.), who occupied the position of Overseer of the Poor in the same
year. During 1785 and 1786 William attended four Vestry meetings. These
meetings authorised the collection of a Church Rate and two Poor Rates and also
agreed to carry on a lawsuit against the parish of Bruton concerning the legal
place of settlement of an unfortunate pauper.
Sometime between 1767 and 1781 William became the owner of a modest property
in Whitchurch. He was first named as the owner and occupier of this property
in the Land Tax Return of 1781. [SCRO ref Q/rel 21/16.] This assessed his
tax liability as 4s 5d. The tax was payable at a rate of 4d in the pound,
thus valuing his property at 13 pounds. He continued to occupy this
property, from which he must have carried out his carpentry business for the
rest of his life (as he paid a similar sum in Land Tax in each of the years
for which the returns survive up until his death). After his death the
property passed to his wife, and then on to his son-in-law Thomas RUFSELL
(sp of 2), who also worked as a carpenter. It then passed to his other
son-in-law, Nathaniel RUSSELL (sp of 1) and hence onto to his grandson, William
RUSSELL [32 of 1. at ../russell/russell.html], who lived there until c1848.
The Land Tax Returns give no indication of where his property was located,
other than referring to it as "part of late HARRIS' ". However, it would seem
that his property was located in Church Lane on the opposite side to the
church.
Both of William and Mary's daughters married members of the local RUSSELL
family. Their eldest daughter, Betty, married Nathaniel RUYSEL [3 of 1. of
../russell/russell.html] (a farmer) in 1782 and their youngest daughter, Mary,
married Thomas RUYSELL in 1788. The latter worked as a carpenter, and no doubt
learnt his trade from his father-in-law. Both of William's daughters were able
to sign their own names in a neat hand.
William died on 1 April 1788, aged 71, and was buried at Whitchurch. The
Whitchurch burial register's are missing for this date, but a headstone was
erected over his grave and in 1977 the details were fortunately transcribed by
a local resident. The transcription includes the following entry: "CHILTON,
William, otp, carpenter, d 1 April 1788, 71". Today (1998), the headstone still
stands, but most of the inscription has weathered away. [As of August 1998 only
part of the inscription remained which, whilst it was clearly legible, was lose
and about to come away from the rest of gravestone. The stone was tilting
forward and to the right, and there was a 50 cm crack in the stone running at a
45 degree angle from the top left. We know this weathered gravestone refers to
William CHILTON - because the surviving part of the inscription, such as it is,
corresponds to the inscription as transcribed by D J IVORY (of 51 Whitecross
Avenue, Whitchurch) in February 1977: Entry Number 66 in this transcription
reads "CHILTON, William, otp, carpenter, d 1 April 1788, 71" - a copy is held
at Somerset CRO (ref DD/X/IV).] At the time of writing (1999) just enough of
the inscription remains to enable William's last resting place to be
located. The surviving inscription (with the presumed missing wording in [x])
reads:
[Sacred to the memor]y of WILLIAM CHIILTON,
[of thi]s parish, Carpenter, [who died
on 1st] of April 1788, Aged 71 [years.]
(In 2007 the surface had eroded further: a piece with the date is in the N
porch.)
Neither the headstone (or the 1977 transcription) mentions William's wife, but
as his name appears half way down the stone there would have been little room
to add her name anyway (what the top half of the headstone contained - if
anything - is not known).
William's widow, Mary, lived on for another 21 years, William left his
modest property to his widow. She is named as the owner and occupier of his
property in the various Land Tax Returns between 1788 and 1809. Through out
this period her tax liability was assessed consistently at 4s/5d, except for
1800 and 1801 when she was charged slightly less at 4s/2d. Clearly Mary
could not have continued her husband's carpentry business, but it seems
likely that she allowed her son-in-law, Thomas RUSSELL [sp of 2], to
continue the family business, for he was working as a carpenter in
Whitchurch between 1805 and 1807. Mary died in 1809 and was buried at
Whitchurch on 15 December 1809, "aged 77 years". Her property then passed to
Thomas RUSSELL, her son-in-law, and he continued to work as a carpenter
until his death in 1817. No wills for William or Mary CHILTON are known to
exist, but they could have been destroyed by enemy action in 1942.

The principal parts were the three Domesday estates of Pignes, Huntstile, and Idstock (or Edstock), to the last of which Beere had been united by common ownership by the later 14th century, although Idstock church had perhaps been independent in the early 13th century. (Footnote 77) Chilton village, 2 km. north of Bridgwater, lay largely outside Chilton parish, only the church and Chilton Farm standing within its ancient boundaries. The largest area of the parish lay 3 km. north and north -east of Bridgwater on both sides of the Parrett, on the rich alluvial land which included the site of the 11th-century settlement of Pignes, a name which survived as a tithing into the 19th century. (Footnote 78) Six km. WNW. from Chilton church, between Cannington and Fiddington parishes, lay Idstock tithing, otherwise known as Idstock and Beere. Six km. SSW. from Chilton church was Huntstile tithing, bounded on the west by Goathurst, into which it was later absorbed, and on the east by North Petherton. Other parts of Chilton parish lay within or adjacent to Wembdon parish, including allotments in Chilton common, north and north-west of Chilton church... *1770-1845 CHILTON of Som. wills ex www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk Will of Joseph CHILTON, Plumber and Glazier of Saint Peter and Saint Paul Bath, Somerset 01 September 1770 PROB 11/960 Will of Thomas CHILTON, Gentleman of Bath , Somerset 03 December 1813 PROB 11/1550 Will of Thomas CHILTON, Gentleman of Bath , Somerset 20 November 1840 PROB 11/1936 Will of Jane CHILTON, Widow of Bath , Somerset 10 March 1845 PROB 11/2013 *2006: There is a Chiltern Close in NW Whitchurch N of Church Rd.

No RUSSELL or CHILTON entries have been found in the marriage registers (1755-1801, 1816-35) or general register (1721-1814) at Norton Marleward. 1851 population 113 WHITCHURCH -by GA: During the 1750's a small agricultural community straddling the main road between Bristol and Wells, and it is most likely that William was a farmer. He certainly of sufficient standing in the local community to play an active part in parish affairs, and must therefore have owned or tenanted sufficient property to pay the parish rates. It can be safely assumed that he was a tenant rather than a land-owning farmer because he was not listed amongst the freehold owners in the Land tax returns for 1766 or 1767 [at SCRO ref Q/rel 21/16]. The parish was the principle unit of local government at this date, and important decisions were taken at parish meetings known as vestry meetings. Members of the Vestry were the more substantial residents of the parish and their responsibilities were wider than modern-day parish councils (eg, including the setting and collection of rates, maintenance of the parish church and care of the poor and sick). The Vestry delegated day-to-day decisions to a Churchwarden and Overseer of the Poor, who were both annually elected. These positions were unpaid and could be quite onerous, but were often regarded as a local honour. Many records survive which record the patterns of the land ownership and occupation in Whitchurch during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, such as the land tax returns, the electoral registers, and various surveys of the SYMTH estate (the SYMTH family lived at Ashton Court near Long Ashton, but only a large amount of land in Whitchurch). The RUSSELL (and CHILTON) families figure in all these records between 1766 and 1848/9, and it is therefore important to understand the patterns of land occupation and the way fields, tenements and farms were named. The Land Tax returns show that there were about a dozen land owning families in Whitchurch during the late Eighteenth Century, some of whom could be described as minor gentry and who occupied their own land (such as the LANSDOWN, STOCKER and COLSTON families) whilst others (such as the GORE-LANGTONS and SYMTHS) were aristocratic absentee landlords who let their lands to tenant farmers. The RUSSELLs would have mixed with the LANSDOWN, STOCKER and COLSTON families on a frequent basis, and indeed they married into the STOCKER and COLSTON families. Land holdings were often leased to tenant farmers and divided up into tenements for this purpose. Tenements could constitute an entire 'farm' or just individual fields, or portions of a former farm tenement. Each farm or tenement was individually named, sometimes on based on the characteristics of the field concerned (eg Claylands, Long Mead, Tyning-next-Saltwell) and sometimes based in the name of the previous occupier. Thus, the land belonging to Francis ADAMS Esq and known as "Lyons Court and Giffards" in the tax returns up to 1782 changed its name from 1783 when ownership passed to Sir John SYMTH Bt. From then on it was known as "Late ADAMS'. Another example was "Late ABBOTS" - Joseph ABBOTT was recorded as the occupier of Hassells Farm and Willsons Farm in a survey of the Manor of Whitchurch, carried out for Sir John SYMTH in 1730. Other probable examples included "Late Townsends", "Late Harris's", "Late Rooms", and possibly "Reeves's". Some name's disappeared over time, whilst others continued and became the formal names of particular farms, such as Abbots Farm and Reeve's Farm. The Land Tax returns show that there was relatively little change in land ownership and occupation from one year to the next, and that the amount of tax assessed on individual tenements often remained the same over many decades, which is especially helpful in identifying the ownership of land over time (even when a tenement's name is used inconsistently). "Whitchurch the Village is situated on the outskirts of Bristol on the A37, it used to be classed as Somerset, then Avon now Bath & North East Somerset... most births & marriages etc, would be shown as Keynsham" - Jessie HILLIER TOMMIN"att"blueyonder.co.uk 2005 to ENG-SOM listThis 1790 map of Whitchurch showing the names of fields is from GA.

5. THE NUMBERING SYSTEMS USED (i) The number at the start of the line indicates his order of descent from the initial couple. For example "0 John Sandford RUSSELL m sp-Mary BAWLERS" (The "sp-" is for spouse.) Their children are numbered 1 2 3 ... The children of say 2 are numbered 21 22 23 .. and so on. (ii) The generation number precedes the name. For example the "3--" in 143 3--Florence Alice RUSSELL indicates she is 3rd generation, counting the initial couple as generation 0. So to see who her siblings are one can either look for adjacent "3--" or look at the beginning of each line for 141,142, 144, 145,...For SURNAME SEARCHES try the ROOTSWEB database http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
