126 THE FAMILY OF CHALONER OF CUCKFIELD.

(68 Harrington), mentions Thomas Chaloner, my cousin, Roger's son. It seems evident that this Thomas Chaloner was not Sir Thomas Chaloner, son and heir of Roger Chaloner, Esq., of London, who died 10th June, 1550, as the knight was at that time over 30 years of age,^^ and therefore his father, Roger, must have been of full age in 1520, in which year our Roger, as shown in his father, Lewys's, will, was a minor and probably not over 10 years of age. This Roger, son of Lewys, may possibly be the Roger Chaloner, Minister, buried at Lindfield, 16 May, 1580, but there is no will or administration for him in P.C.C. or at Lewes. He is also mentioned as my cousin, Roger Chaloner, in the will of Thomas Michell, of Worth, gent., dated 6 June, 1551, and proved in P.C.C. 5 Nov., 1551 (31 Bucke). We will now revert to John Chaloner, of Lindfield, whose will, dated 23 Dec, 1520, was proved in P.C.C. (5 Maynwaryng). It will be noticed that he had two sons, Thomas and Nicholas. Of the descendants of Nicholas, the younger son, a very fair account is given in Berry's Sussex Genealogies," page 73, and the descendants of John Chaloner, of Stan tons, aged 8 in 1634, are still further continued in Vol. XXVIIL, p. 141, of our "Collections," while the descendants of Richard, of Chiltington, aged about 20 in 1634, migrated to Hollingbourne, Kent, where the baptisms of many children of his son, Richard, are recorded in the Registers.

Thomas, the elder son of John, of Lindfield, left a will dated 31 March, 1547, and proved in P.C.C. 21, April, 1559 (8 Chayney)

• In which he desires to be buried in the chancel of Lindfield, where Father lies, and mentions his sons, Francis, John, Thomas and Richard, wife Alice and daughters, Dorothy and Mary. His wife Alice was daughter of Sir Richard Shirley, of Wiston, and the descendants of his sons, Francis and John, are given in Berry's "Sussex Genealogies," p. 345, and to some extent continued in Vol. XXXV., p. 22, of our " Collections."
