Will of Francis Chambre, Gentleman of Petton, Shropshire
Date:    14 February 1736

I think John Chettoe the Elder is mentioned in the will on page 2. Any good at transcribing old documents. Good luck TMJ.

John Chettoe was involved in the business of timber. He is mentioned in records relating to the Hills of Hawkstone. Shropshire archives link I gave will show how he is involved with the gentry of the area.

Alberbury.

Another good find.

John Chatwall, of Prese, (Prees, Salop), husbandman, a defendant for debt in Common Pleas in 1526.


I wonder if this might connect with Chetwood of Worleston in the Visitation of Cheshire.

This had Thomas Chetwood, "of Rees, Cheshire", his son Roger "of Rees", and two other sons, John and Rafe/Ralph.


There is a place called Reaseheath not far from Worleston.

I found a similar thing with the "Collections for a History of Staffordshire" series the downloading and opening of the files was VERY slow but made it worth the wait (sometimes) haha!

About Chettoe?

Thankyou.

Alberbury.

I don't know if this is significant, but there's a Thomas Cheto of Whitchurch (Salop), butcher, recorded in 1427. This is more than 100 years earlier, but less than 10 miles from Wem.

I'm impressed by that find. That is the earliest Chettoe I have seen. He could be related to the Wem family as they are places geographically close to each other. Also more likely related than the Chatto of Scotland, or the Chetwode of Buckinghamshire.
