Baskervilles Revisited

Legg inn av Gordon and Jane Kirkemo » 01 mar 2007 03:57:16

Hello,



Given the recent interest in the Baskerville family, I’m hoping someone can
help me with my Baskerville dilemma. In tracing back my de la Bere line, I
find a Richard de la Bere (MP for Herefordshire 1353, 1354, 1357-58, 1360,
and 1369) married to Sibel de Chabbenor. Sibel was the daughter of William
de Chabboner of Chadnor, Herefordshire. William was the son of Thomas and
Sibel, and the grandson of William. While doing an Internet search, I found
a website (http://www.ourwebsite.org/dewolf/stanley-p//index.shtml
<http://www.ourwebsite.org/dewolf/stanley-p/index.shtml> ) that identifies
the wife of Thomas de Chabbenor as Sybil de Baskerville (c 1265-c1315) of
Eardisley. Two sources are cited, one an unpublished family history, and
the second an article by G. Andrews Moriarty.



I finally got a copy of the Moriarty article, “The Family of de la Bere,’
published in The Genealogists’ Magazine, Vol.10, No. 11, pages 412-415. In
the article, Moriarty provides the following descent for the de la Bere
family:



1. Roger de Berkeley
2. Isabel de Berkeley= (1) Thomas de Rocheford, (2) William de Walerond

3. Alice de Rocheford= (1) Andrew de la Bere, (2) Alan de Plugenet

4. Richard de la Bere
5. Robert de la Bere
6. Richard de la Bere=Sibel de Chabboner

7. John de la Bere
8. Kinnard de la Bere=

9. Sir Richard de la Bere=Elizabeth



Moriarty further identifies the following descent to Sibel de Chabboner:



1. William de Chabboner
2. Thomas de Chabboner=Sibel

3. William de Chabboner
4. Sibel de Chabboner=Richard de la Bere



As to the Baskerville connection, Moriarty writes the following:



“Sir Richard [#9 above], son of Kinnard, succeeded before 1412, and in that
year John de Baskerville impleaded Walter Ismanes, Bailiff of Richard son of
Kinnard de la Bere, for illegal distraint and damages in Eardisley. The
defendant stated that Ingenard de Baskerville gave Chadnor to William de
Chabbenor for life, remainder to Thomas his son and his wife Sibel and their
heirs of their bodies, and Richard de la Bere was their heir-at-law. (In
the return of 1242-3 William de Chabbenor held 3 hides in Chadnor by
sergentry of Ralf de Toeni of the old feoffment (Bk. of Fees, vol. II,
p.804) and in 1316 Thomas de Chabbenor held Chadnor (Feud. Aids, Vol.II,
p.387).) From Thomas it descended to his son William, and from William to
his daughter Sibel wife of Richard de la Bere, and from Sibel to her son
John, and from John to his son Kinnard, and from Kinnard to his son Richard
(De Banco R. East. 13 Hen. IV, m. 333; The Genealogist, N.S., vol. XVI, p.
44).”



In a footnote, Moriarty writes further:



“…In 1413 John Mulleward impleaded Richard de la Bere for illegal distraint
in Eardesley. Richard stated that Richard de Baskerville once held the park
at Eardesley, together with other lands of Ingenard de Baskerville by
service of ½ k.f. and an annual rent of L4, and Ingenard gave Chadnor to
William de Chabbenor for life, remainder to his son Thomas and Sibel his
wife and the heirs of their bodies. The defendant claimed as heir-in-law…”



Moriarty does not claim a relationship between Sibel, wife of Thomas, and
the Baskervilles, although the language used seems to suggest such a
relationship. The references to Eardisley suggests the Ingenard and Richard
de Baskerville who are mentioned might have some connection to the main stem
of Baskervilles, but I can find no other references to Ingenard.



So, can anyone provide information that can confirm, or disprove, a linkage
between the Baskervilles and the Chabboners? Does anyone recognize Ingenard
de Baskerville? I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.



Sincerely,

Gordon Kirkemo
