Ancestors of Thomas CHEEVERS - CHEVERS - or CHIVERS, of Dubl

Legg inn av Kelly Graham » 15 nov 2004 01:41:02

Hello all.

I am interested in the ancestry of Thomas Cheevers of Monkstown, Dublin, Ireland. Thomas CHIVERS was the son of
Henry CHEEVERS and Catherine FitzWILLIAM, and immigrated to the Chesapeake Colonies in 1634. Thomas CHIVERS
died in about 1653.

Thank you fot any help in advance.

There is a reasonably detailed article on the Chevers family (spelled with
one "e") in Burke's Irish Family Records [1976] and probably also in its
predecessor publication, Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland. It does list a
Thomas, son of Henry Chevers and Catherine Fitzwilliam, but only a name and
no further information - specifically, no indication that he went to
America.

The Chevers family picked up a royal descent (from Edward I) relatively
early (via the Welles family), but this Thomas Chevers doesn't seem to be
noted as a "gateway ancestor" in any of the common collections of royal
descents of American immigrants. This could be a new discovery - or, on the
other hand, a case of genealogical grafting of family trees.
