Hello Everyone; 

It has been awhile since I have posted.  Life gets in the way. Some of you might be interested in my Newburgh family web site, which I have been building for ten years.  It includes the counties of Devon, Dorset, and Somerset - and New England.

The Newburghs of England were part of William the Conqueror's family as cousins.  I have just finished an article about the Newburghs from the 15th century. This work corrects former histories published by John Hutchins in 1774 and Joseph G.  Bartlett in 1914. Both authors attached our 17th century New England ancestors to Thomas Newborough of Berkeley, Somerset.  I have uncovered original documents that dispute those findings.  It appears our New England clan was actually  descended from his brother John Newburgh Jr. of Tonerspuddle, Dorset. Research is ongoing.

I encourage anyone with an interest to visit my research web site:

                                                   deNovoBurgoChronicles.com 

My research newsletters are posted there. The newest was posted last week, and describes the processes and proof used in correcting Bartlett and Hutchins. If you click on "The Inner Sanctum" it will lead you to more information about the Dorset Newburghs and other older links connecting our New England ancestors. 

I have published two books which are available on Amazon. 

The first is "The Quiet Patriarch" the History of James A. Newberry who was a Native American Pioneer to Iowa.  His children continued on to Utah in 1847, but he stayed behind.  He was among the first members of Joseph Smith's early church. Detailed pedigrees are included in the appendices.  My DNA kit was derived from a cousin who was related to this family in Iowa.

The second is "The Lost Legacy of St. Andrew's Church and Medieval Lulworth" This work traces the  history of ancient East Lulworth from Domesday. My approach was to study the earliest church on the East Lulworth tract (St. Andrew's) and Bindon abbey located on the crown manor of Lulworth St. Andrew. Extensive pedigrees are included in the appendices.

Hi Everyone:  It has been a long time since I have visited this topic, but while I was searching I ran across some information about a family known as Burcy involved in Tarrant Gunville c. 1458-62 in Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries, p. 157.  This is all written in Latin, so I  hope you have your Latin translators ready.

Items No. 8 & 9 relate to a John Newburgh I am following.  All this ties in with my Attemore family being related in some way to the Cheverell family. I am still out in left field waiting for the fly ball. Some of you were wondering about manorial records for that period.

This is my clumsy attempt with Google Translate to decrypt the Latin.

No. 8
10 May 1458
Know all men present and to come that I, Henry Burcy, I have given, granted and by this my present charter have, will draw to John Newburgh (JR.) knight, Walter cheverel, knight to John Russell, knight to John Kneyche the chaplain, Robert Burcy, and John Osmonde all the messuages I and my land, woods, grazing pastures, and the pastures in the Tarant Gondevyl with all the force of appurtenances in the same place, to have and to hold all the aforesaid messuages, lands, woods, grazing pastures, and the pastures, with all its appurtenances, to the aforesaid Walter John  John Robert and John of heirs and assigns of them out of the chief lords of that fee, by the rent and the services thereof due and of the jurors accustomed, for ever And I, however, the aforesaid Henry (Burcy), and heirs of me, all these conditions aforesaid messuages lands, woods, grazing pastures, and the pastures, with all its appurtenances to the aforesaid John Walter John  John Robert and John their heirs and assigns, against all the nations, will warrant, acquit, and for ever defend by these presents In witness whereof to this my present writing, the seal of my witness William Frampton William Combe, William Clavyle John Howley, and John Ecfford Given the above, and others with Tarant Gondevyle tenth day of May in the reign of 36 King Henry VI (10 May 1458)

No. 9
10 Oct. 1460
To all the faithful to be present prevenerit John  Neburgh knight, Walters Cheverll knight, John Russell knight, Robert Burcy Johannes Kneyche Chaplain John Osmonde safety with respect to the said John Walter, John, John Robert and John have remitted, released, and in general for us and our heirs for ever quit claimed to the King Henrie Burcy and Alice, his wife, their heirs and assigns, all our right and claim of right which we have within ourselves or in the future shall be able in time all the messuages of our lands, woods, fat pastures, and the pastures in Tarent Gundevyle with all its appurtenances, to the same place so that neither we, the aforesaid John Walter John, John, Robert, and John, nor our heirs, nor any one else in the name of the our God any accuinem of right or claim in the aforesaid messuages lands, woods, green pastures, and the pastures, with all its appurtenances, nor in any parcel of the same to the rest, to demand or lay in the future in any way but from all action right title, claim or demand an authorization or seeking ever have hatched by the present And we the aforesaid John Walter John John Robert and John and our heirs will warrant all the aforesaid messuages, lands, woods, grazing pastures, and the pastures, with all its appurtenances, to the aforesaid Henry and Alice, his heirs and assigns, against all the nations, will warrant, acquit, and for ever defend by these presents In witness whereof to this our present writing and our action by our seals . . .etc.


Does anyone have access to the volumes of Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries?  I need to see Vol. 32.  The Burcy's are apparently elusive to historians, and little is written about them on the Internet.

I discovered another concord that ties the Cheverells and Attemores with the Newburghs. The first is in 1449 for Upperstirtyll and Netherstirtyll.  (Feet of Fines for Dorset p. 371)  But then the Cheverells and the Attemores appear to be involved in Tarrant Gunville c. 1458-62 as well.

Hope to hear from everyone . . . best wishes during this virus lock-down.  Maybe we will all find that golden nugget while waiting for the 'ALL CLEAR.'

I would like to invite people interested in medieval Dorset, Somerset and Devon history to visit my web site. Lulworth history is evolving. Most of this history is about the Newburgh family and their collateral families; Payn, Frampton, FitzJames, Westbury, Scrope, Glastonia, Arundel, etc. just to mention a few.
