| - 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. |
