Lyneham, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the manor till about the year 1340: it was afterwards, for a short time, in that of Topcliffe. In the year 1402, it belonged to John Crocker, son of John Crocker, Esq., of Hele. Sir John Crocker, of this family, was one of the knights who were attainted and outlawed by Richard III., and who accompanied the Earl of Devon to the relief of Exeter, when besieged by Perkin Warbeck , in 1497. (fn. 46) Courtenay Crocker, Esq., who died in 1740, left an only daughter, who brought Lyneham to James Bulteel, Esq., grandfather of John Bulteel, Esq., of Fleet, the present proprietor. Lyneham is now a farm-house. There was formerly a park here. Windsor, in this parish, gave name to a family who possessed the fee of this barton by the gift of William Lord Rous. One of the coheiresses of Windsor married Richard Fortescue, from whom, says Sir William Pole, descended the Forte scues of the east part of England. Afterwards Windsor became the property and residence of a younger branch of the Crockers of Lyneham, who, on removing to Bovey Tracey, sold this estate, in the reign of William III., to Dr. Blackall: it was by h im bequeathed to Colonel William Scott, of Essex, and has been lately purchased of Colonel William Henry Scott, of the 3d Foot-guards, by Mr. Bastard.

Notes:

The BLANCHARD's of Parson's Pond and Bonne Bay are

descendants of William BLANCHARD of the Bay of Islands.

William, however, was orignally from Dorsetshire, England.

Papers of Governor Duckworth record William BLANCH ARD living

on the Humber River in 1810: a "cod and salmon fisherman,

selling fish to St. John's."

It is not known how many children William had, but their

were at least 5, including 2 sons William Jr. and Thomas.

Hi s grandson another Thomas (1845 - 1929) may have been the

son of William or Thomas.

J. B. Jukes, an American mentions the BLANCHARD's during a

voyage to the Bay of Islands on August 20, 1839: "We visited

one family about half way down the [Humber] sound .... Their

name was BLANCHARD, and the old man had lived here about

sixty years, having settled there before the breaking out of

the American War. He had several sons that were getting

mar ried and beginning to settle about him. His house, though

small, was neat and comfortable, and he had two or three

small fields under cultivation. They were just getting in

the hay from one small meadow, andit appeared of good

quality. They had very good currants, raspberries, and

gooseberries growing in the garden edges."

Bishop Feild also spoke of William BLANCHARD during a visit

to Gilliam's Cove, Bay of Islands in 1849: "The house is

m ean and dirty, and the old patriarch, who has lived here

nearly seventy years, was in a state of great filth and

discomfort. He is nearly ninety years of age. His mental

faculties are good, but his bodily strength is nearly gone .

He welcomed us kindly, spoke with pleasure of Archdeacon Wix

.... This is, I believe, the second time only in nearly 70

years that he has seen a clergyman..." [CI:136:?2:CI]

William married Joe (Native), Elizabeth in Unknown Location. Elizabeth (daughter of Joe (Native), Thomas) was born in in Unknown Location; died on 24 Jun 1841 in Unknown Location. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

«b»Charles«sup»«i»1«/sup»«/i» PAYNE«/b» was born at England estimate 1790. Charles died estimate 1865 at Cow Head, District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland, at age unknown. His body was interred estimate 1865 at Cow Head, District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland.

He married «b»Mary«/b» «b»PARK«/b» circa 1810 at Newfoundland. Mary was born 1792 at Newfoundland. Mary was the daughter of Robert PARK and Mary UNKNOWN. Mary died March 30, 1862 at Cow Head, District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland, at age 69. Her body was interred after March 30, 1862 at Cow Head, District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland. Mary has a tombstone in a feild at Cow Head along with two other graves without markers, it reads Mary PAYNE died March 30, 1862 age 69 years. The other two are beleived to that of her husband Charles and son James. Origins of Mary PAYNE of Cow Head, Newfoundland. By John G. EDGAR, 2005
«tab»According to statements in local histories some researchers have concluded that Mary, wife of Charles PAYNE Senior, early resident of Cow Head, was born Mary BROOKS. This conclusion may not be correct and was likely based on the incomplete or biased reading of a notation in Bishop FIELD's 1849 List of Inhabitants. The conclusion is also questionable in light of a more recently discovered document, The Last Will and Testament of John BROOK, 1823.
«tab»As a footnote to Robert WHELLER, inhabitant # 11 residing at Brook's Cove, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland Feild (1849) noted (all words exact quote):

Charles married Brooks, Mary about 1810. Mary (daughter of Brooks, Robert and Park, Mary) was born in 1792 in New Harbour Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, Canada; died on 30 Mar 1862 in Cow Head, District of St. Barbe, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
