Notes
General:
In his "History" draft, EJ French states-"Appears to be the brother of William [who married Marquess] and son of John and Joan. He and William could possibly, but I think less likely, have been the sons of William and Ann"
From EJ French-History Draft:
"William Chinchen marbler of LM appeared before the court of George Trenchard llth Aug. I743 with "a letter of attorney bearing date 6th of this instance August to him directed under the hand and seal of John Chinchen of LM". He surrendered a lease of a cottage and nine acres of land dated 5th May, 1716 "unto the said William Chinchen and John Chinchen for the term of their lives or the life of the longest liver of them". The lease was renewed on the lives of William, his son Thomas aged 9 and daughter Mary aged 6. William's age is not given.
This refers to the William who married Marquess and suggests that he was the son and/or brother of one of the John's. It was the practice in leases, to name the father and two of his children, if available, otherwise other near relatives. It seems probable that the 1716 lease was in the names of father John and sons John and William. The father may have been John who married Joan Brownsell and was alive in 1728, and was probably the John buried on 17th Dec.1735 when he would have been about 75 -80 years old. William named his first daughter Joan, and I think this William and the John who married Margaret were brothers, sons of John and Joan. One might then suppose that the lease was renewed, after the death of John senior, when William's son and daughter were old enough to have passed the periIs of infancy. As John did not attend the court perhaps he was an invalid and this would be an additional reason for renewing the lease. In fact a John Chinchen died in Nov. 1747."

The Court of the Mannor of George Trenchard Esqr Lord of the Manor aforesaid held the Eleventh day of August in the Year of our Lord one Thousand seven hundred and (Forty three To this Court came William Chinchin of Langton Matravers aforesaid, Marbler, a Customary Tenant of the said Mannor, And also Edmund Horton of Litchet Matravers in the County aforesaid, yeoman, by virtue of a Letter of Attorney bearing date the Sixth day of this instant August to him directed under the Hand and Seal of John Chinchin of Langton Matravers aforesaid and here in full Court they, the said William Chinchin and Edmund Horton did Surrender in to the Hands of the Lord of the said Mannor the Moiety of one Cottage and nine Acres of Land to the same belonging with the appurt's, situate, lying and being within the Mannor aforesaid, now in the Tenure of the said William Chinchin, and which were granted by Coppy of Court Roll of the Mannor aforesaid bearing date the fifth day of May which was in the year of our Lord one Thousand seven Hundred and Sixteen unto the said William Chinchin and John Chinchin for the Terms of their lives and the Life of the Longest Liver of them successively according to the Custom of the Mannor aforesaid, And all the Estate, Right, Title, Interest, Property, Claim and demand whatsoever of them the said William Chinchin and John Chinchin and each of them in or to the said Coppy hold premisses every or any part or parcell thereof together with the Coppy of Court Roll to be Cancelled, that the Lord may do therewith his Will whereupon at the same Court came again the said William Chinchin and took of the Lord of the said Mannor by his own Delivery the Moiety of the Cottage and premises aforesaid with their and every of their Appurt's. To have and to hold the Moiety of the said Cottage and premises with their Appurt's unto the said William Chinchin for the Term of his own Life and also to Thomas Chinchin, his Son, now of the age of nine years or thereabouts and Mary Chinchin his daughter, now of the Age of Six Years or thereabouts for the Term of their lives and the life of the longest liver of them, successively at the Will of the Lord according to the Custom of the said Mannor, under the yearly Rent of Two Shillings & three pence and for an Herriot to her it shall happen the best Beast and by all other burthens, works, Customary payments suits and services therefore due and of right accustomed to be paid for the premises or any part thereof and for such Estate thus granted in the premises, the said William Chinchin as Sole purchaser gives to the Lord for a Fine, fifteen pounds fifteen Shillings which the said Lord hath rec'ed and so he is admitted Tenant and has done his Fealty, but the Fealties of the said Thomas and Mary, his Son and daughter are respired untill &c. Examined and inrolled by me Rich. Humfrey, Steward of the said Mannor Geo: Trenchard
If this is indeed the John named as brother of William it would appear that he must have died before William renewed the lease in 1743. Perhaps he is the John buried 17 Dec 1735 and yet one would have thought this was John the elder
