Northumberland Lookup Requests / Chatton Mill and CHARTER(S) family
« on: Tuesday 21 August 18 09:18 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone has information about the CHARTER(S) family who seem to have been millers at Chatton Mill from the seventeenth century? My 5X great grandfather was John Charters who married Dorothy Wallace 1721 in Chatton.
I am trying to find out his father or indeed grandfather.
During my searches I have found a will for Thomas Charters 1705 where he leaves "half of the Corn Mill of Chatton purchased by my dearest brother James Charter" to his brother Joseph. Said Thomas leaves property to his sister Margaret Charter, and his sister's daughter Margaret HUTSON and her son John Hutson. He also leaves his brother John Charters 5/- if he returns from Her Majesty's Service.
I have also found the death of Joseph's wife Anne in 1716 in Chatton.
However, without the baptism of John CHARTERS (married to Dorothy) I am unable to work out how these families fit together.
Does anyone have any information about these families, Chatton Mill or suggestions as to where I might pursue my research?
Many thanks in advance.
Sue
