Families covered: Bolney of Bolney, Bolney of Tilehurst
| BHO names various early holders of Bolney Manor but there is little point in trying to pull together a pedigree before the Bartholomew (a 1446) who appears to be the first mentioned by the Visitation. However, we note that John de Bolneya (mentioned in 1248) may have been succeeded by Bartholomew de Bolne (a c1284) who was possibly succeeded by John de Bolneye (a 1296). Visitation (Sussex) starts with ... | |||||||||||||||
| Bartholomew Bolney of Bolney, Sussex (a 1463, d 1476) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | John Bolney (dvpsp before 1461) | ||||||||||||||
| 2. | Edward Bolney of Bolney (dspms) | ||||||||||||||
| 3. | Richard Bolney of Bolney (d 1500) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Anne St. Leger (dau of Ralph St. Leger of Kent) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | John Bolney of Bolney (dsp 1558) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Anne (Ashburnham) d 1600, (m2. Thomas Culpeper of Wakehirst, m3. Henry Barkeley) | |||||||||||||||
| BHO reports that, after his death, John's wife "retained a claim on the manor during her life" and married as shown, whilst John's nephew John (a 1577, 1586) "had rights in the manor". It then reports that Bolney Manor was settled in 1626 on Jane Pellatt on her marriage to William Culpeper (later a baronet),"Anne's grandson by her second husband" (## see here ##). That reference appears to confirm that she was Anne Ashburnham but we cannot support the claim that Anne was grandmother by blood of Sir William Culpeper but accept that she may have been that William's father's stepmother. | |||||||||||||||
| B. | James Bolney (3rd son) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation reports that James was "Stated to have had issue". BHO reports that his elder brother John was succeded by his nephew John. We speculate that that John was son of this James rather than, say, the John who is shown below as eldest son of James's younger brother Bartholomew. However, we recognise that it is possible that James dspms and the successor John was Bartholomew's son. | |||||||||||||||
| i. | John Bolney of Bolney (a 1577, 1586) | ||||||||||||||
| (1) This may have been the Bolney of Bolney who married Agnes Mordant (## see here ##). (2) We speculate that that this was the John Bolney of Bolney who is the first mentioned by Visitation (Berkshire, 1623, 'Bolney of Tilehurst') which provides the following. |
