Chatton Mill and CHARTER(S) family

[Radcliff]

Naming patterns are quite important some times in these old families,
Johns will of 1766 states clearly all of his childrens names
sons James and Thomas and his three daughters,Eleanor,Elizabeth and Margaret
the earlier Charters  wills I found difficult to read

[Radcliff]

as you already know from the will of Thomas,
he had brothers John, Joseph and sister Margaret
there is a will for Andrew Charters that is interesting but I don't think there is a connection,at this point,
James died the year before in 1705 so he is also possibly a sibling of the above

the father of your John is likely to be one of the above as most families named a son after the father

Thank you so much for all the information. Now it's time for me to try and assemble the various pieces of information you have sent me. It's so good of you to have gone to all this trouble. The wills do help one solve some things but often throw up other puzzles.

Land records,tax returns,that sort of thing may be helpful here,as you have no firm clues as to who their parents were x

Hi
A good point about land records and taxes . Do you have any idea if these are available on-line? As I live in Australia there's no chance of visiting the local archives!!
I also wonder if there's anyone specifically interested in the old Corn Mills. I have a direct ancestor in Suffolk who was a miller and had a number of windmills. Someone pointed me to a man who had much information about windmills in Suffolk and was able to give me lots of information about the mills my ancestor owned.

Thanks for your help
Sue
