- Notes: William and Katheryne's children were all born at Ottery St Mary, the Devon
village which produced several quite famous sons in later years.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (whose father was both vicar and schoolmaster), was
born there in 1772. He had a great influence on English poetry and though better
known for his Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, also wrote some
excellent epigrams, including one on a volunteer singer ...

"Swans sing before they die - t'were no bad thing
Did certain persons die before they sing."
and
"What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole,
it's body brevity and wit its soul."

Ottery St Mary was also the birthplace of Edward Davy in 1806. Although
trained in medicine, he began work as a chemist, then became involved in
telegraphy, inventing the electric relay. He patented an electro-ehemical recording
telegraph and though confident he would be proclaimed the inventor of
telegraphy, sadly he did not win outright recognition. His original appliance was
sent back to Ottery St Mary and sold as scrap 40 years later.
Discouraged by all this, Dr Davy went off to Australia where he experimented in
starch production and copper smelting in South Australia, and farming in Victoria.
Later he returned to practising medicine and died in 1885.
Between 1610 and 1628, William and Katheryne Chown had a daughter and six
sons. GEORGE the youngest, wed Helen, surname unknown. As far as can be
determined she and George had two sons, Edmond 27 Sep 1646 who wed Joan
EVELEIGH at Rockbeare on 31 Jan 1677 and CHARLES 21 Jan 1648 who married
twice.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
