Families covered: Tynte of Chelvey (Chelvy), Tynte of Halsewell (Halswell), Tynte of Wraxall (Wrexhall)
| Commoners reports that the family took its name from the motto granted by King Richard I to its progenitor ("a young knight of the noble house of Arundel") who had distinguished himself at the battle of Ascalon in 1192. The motto, still retained by the family, was "Tynetus cruore Saraceno". | |||||||||||||||

| BLG1886, which provides the earlier generations, calls him Edmund. This is the first generation given by Commoners & BEB1841 which name him Edward (a 1585). BLG1886 identifies the family as 'of Wraxall' whereas Commoners & BEB1841 identifies it as 'of Wrexhall'. It appears that "Wraxall" is the modern spelling (and was the spelling used by the Gorges family - see connection below) so it is presumed that "Wrexhall" is an earlier variation of the village which is in North Somerset. | |||||||||||||||

| (C) | Edward Tynte of Chelvy or Chelvey, Somerset (b 1570, d 16.12.1629) | ||||||||||||||
| Commoners & BEB1841 insert an an additional generation (another Edward) between this Edward and his father. We follow BLG1886 on the assumption that it was based on additional research. It is noted that Commoners & BEB1841 reported only 2 sons for Edward (a 1585), Edward & Sir Robert. The next few generations are partly supported by Visitation (Somerset, 1672, Tnyt of Goathurst). Halswell/Halsewell is in Goathurst/Goatehurst. | |||||||||||||||
