Field Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain
Field Marshal Sir Neville Bowles Chamberlain (1820-1902), a significant figure in Britain's wars on the Indian subcontinent, was the only person to have been appointed to the highest rank in the British Army while a member of a Unitarian church.
Neville Bowles Chamberlain was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the second of five sons of Henry Chamberlain, the British consul general in the city, and his second wife, Anna Eugenia. ...
Headstrong and with no apparent intellectual ability, Neville was withdrawn soon after he entered the Royal Military Academy in 1833. Undeterred, he obtained through family connections a commission as an ensign in the East India Company's army and joined the infantry at Lucknow in 1838;... During the next four years he distinguished himself in the invasion of Afghanistan and was wounded six times...he seemed oblivious of the dangers of warfare and hand-to-hand fighting.
By 1854 he was a brigadier. ..In May 1873 he married Charlotte Curler. They had no children. In 1876 Chamberlain returned to India to take command of the Madras army. He was appointed a full general the following year. He retired from this post in 1881 and lived the rest of his life quietly on his estate at Lordswood near Southampton, England.
..despite his many military actions he was not proud of the death and destruction he had wrought. After the burning of Istalif in 1842, he reported that he was 'disgusted with myself, the world, and above all, with my cruel profession.' ...began to attend Southampton Unitarian Church. Although he supported the Unitarian church, during his wife's lifetime he accompanied her to the Church of England. ...
In 1900, at the age of eighty, Chamberlain was made a field marshal. Following his death, despite his specific instructions to the contrary, he was given a massive military funeral at Rownhams Parish Church. ...

Forest The Life of Firld Marshall Neville Chamberlain, Dictionary of National Biography (2004); and Alan Ruston, 'The Unitarian Field Marshal', Transactions of the Unitarian Historical Society (1993).

Which Edward Berkeley is which?
The Edward mentioned in this will is the son of Maurice Berkley and Catherine Blount. She had previously been married to John Champernoun:
eg:
Will of Sir Philip Champernon, of Modburie; 1 Aug., 37th Henry VIII, proved 5 Feb'y, 1545; Sir John Champernon my father; wife Katherine and Sir Edmunde, her father; son Arthur; Katherine late wife of John Champernon, my son and heir deceased; daughter Katherine Champernon....
Consequently Edward would have a step brother (brother in law) Henry Champernoun? Or does he mean brother-in-law in the modrn sense.

OTHER ESTATES
In 1522 a substantial part of Bulley belonged to Sir Thomas Berkeley(d. 1533). That estate had belonged to Walter Rowden... Walter, a Gloucester lawyer, died in 1513 and was succeeded by his brother Richard. Richard’s daughter and coheir Frances married in turn Maurice Berkeley, son of Sir Thomas, and Richard Danvers. Her son Edward Berkeley, of Bradley in Wotton-under-Edge, left the estate at his death in 1577 to his wife Elizabeth for life and under his will it was conferred in 1579 on his sisters Frances, wife of George Matthews, and Eleanor, wife of James Morris, by Sir Richard Berkeley.

Petition from Edward Seede and Rowland Richardson to Sir John Fortescue, Chancellor of the Court of Exchequer and a Privy Councillor
Lands in North Nibley and Bradley which came into the Queen's hands on the dissolution of the chantries were granted by her in 1579 to Edmund Downinge and John Walker, who conveyed them to Sir Edward Berkeley. By reason of Berkeley's debt of £120 to the Queen the lands were "extended" to the Queen's use through the agency of the petitioners. The Queen then leased the lands in 1594 to the petitioners for as long as the lands should remain in her hands and for a yearly rent of £6 9s 2d. Thomas Harsfield, servant to Sir Edward Berkeley, has intruded himself into the possession of the lands so that the petitioners cannot pay the rent towards the settlement of Berkeley's debt. They therefore pray for the issuing of a writ of injunction for the removal of Harsfield and for the settling of themselves in the property according to their lease

...Two farmsteads were built beside the Marlborough road. Brown's, so called in 1718, (fn. 20) incorporated a thatched and timber-framed house, presumably 17th-century, which was demolished in 1961-2 and replaced by a new house. (fn. 21) Hatfield, later High Trees, Farm, built of sarsen in the 17th century, had a main northwest and south-east range with a cross wing at the north-west end. In the earlier 19th century a red-brick block was built on the south-west side of the main range, and in the later 19th century a red-brick tower and a service range were built on the north-west side of the cross wing.

..."A sumptuous monument was erected on the spot to their memory. This monument stood on the site of the interment until 1861, when, on the remodelling of the cathedral, it was pulled down, and the broken fragments are now lying in a room on the east end of the cloister. It consisted of an altar tomb with a canopy supported by black marble columns. Upon the slab lay the recumbent effigy of Dame Joan, represented with her hands raised in the attitude of prayer. She is dressed in the costume of a lady of the period, wearing a large ruff, a Mary Stewart bonnet, and a stiff bodice, all painted in their proper colours, the head resting on two cushions set diagonally. The upper part of the effigy may now be seen in the heap of rubbish above referred to, and in front were two knights in armour, doubtless representing her two husbands, kneeling at a faldstool, and beneath, on the front of the monu- ment, were the figures of her children, four sons and four
daughters kneeling at desks. This inscription is : -
" Here lyeth the bodies of Sir John Yovng, Knight, and Dame Joane his wife. By him she had issue, Sir Robert, Jane and Margaret. She was firste marryed to Sir Giles Straingewayes, Knight, By whome she had yssue, John, Edward, George, Nicholas, Ann, and Elizabeth. She was daughter of John Wadham Esqvier, and shee departed this mortall lyfe, the 14th of June 1603 aged 70 yeares."
There are nine children named in the inscription, but as eight only are figured on the monument, perhaps one of the sons died in childhood.

Will of Anne Rochester Countess Of Rochester - 1 June 1683 Proved 1 April 1696
University of Rochester, River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester Library Bulletins: Volume XXVIII · Number 1 · Summer 1974
"My dearest sonne": Letters from the Countess of Rochester...:
James William Johnson. Department of Rare Books, Special Collections and Preservations.
With the purchase of twenty-one holograph letters by Anne St. John Wilmot, Countess of Rochester, to her grandson, Edward Henry Lee, first Earl of Lichfield, Rush Rhees Library has become one of only four owners of the known correspondence of this extraordinary woman. ... The letters provide a unique insight into the private and public lives of some of England's most prominent seventeenth century families while displaying characteristic facets of their composer, a lady previously best known as the wife of Henry Wilmot, the Royalist soldier and diplomat, and mother of John Wilmot, the scandalous rake and poet of the Restoration era.
Anne St. John was born on 5 November 1614, one of ten children of Sir John St. John of Lydiard Tregose, Wiltshire....It was at Battersea that she married Sir Francis Henry Lee (1616-1639), the sixteen-year-old Baron of Ditchley, in October 1632, much to the distaste of her future mother-in-law. The widowed Lady Lee did not care for the St. Johns, criticizing them openly; and though she eventually became a close friend and ally of Anne St. John Lee's during the Cromwell period, she infuriated her son by marrying a Parliamentarian leader (the Lees were all Royalists) in 1633 and permanently taking a sizeable portion of the Lee family income with her. In spite of the bad beginning, the marriage of Anne St. John and Harry Lee was a happy one, lasting for seven years and producing at least three children: two sons and a daughter. Unfortunately, like many others in the seventeenth century, Harry Lee died young. After following the king, Charles I, to York in 1639, he contracted smallpox and died after his return to Chelsea, refusing to let his wife near him for fear she might be struck too.
As a young widow, Anne Lee was named executrice of the Lee estate, ... She often stated her "mony feares" at her lack of experience; but she had a number of "friends" to rely upon, ... Her ill-spelled letters to Hyde in the early 1640s reveal a will of iron under her professions of innocence and gratitude, and her womanly wiles showed plainly that she knew how to succeed in a man's world...
An unknown suitor proposed to her, making "brave condissions for a joyter & a fortun for children if she hath any by him," but she refused him. If she remarried, by terms of Francis Henry's will, she lost control of her Lee properties; and though they were entangled in the legal process of sequestration, she was unwilling to risk anything for a marriage jointure or settlement.
In 1644, however, when the Lee estates had emerged from sequestration ... Anne Lee did marry again. Her second husband was Henry Wilmot of Adderbury, Oxon., ... Not long after their marriage, Henry Wilmot was captured by the Parliamentary Army and exiled to the Continent, where he largely stayed until his death in 1658. Only three or four occasions can be documented when Lord and Lady Wilmot were together. ..
During her husband's long exile, Lady Wilmot had to battle constantly to prevent the Parliamentarians from seizing the Lees' and Wilmots' property. Her infant Lee daughter had died in 1640, but her two surviving Lee sons, Henry and Francis Henry (Harry and Frank), and her Wilmot infant had to be protected, their estates managed, their educations supervised, and their marriages planned. ... Since she was married to a traitor, insurrectionist, and spy, the Countess of Rochester had great troubles with the Puritan Committee for Compounding, which kept resolving to take all her lands. But by marrying her son Harry off to Ann Danvers, daughter of a prominent Puritan neighbor at Cornbury and Chelsea, and by writing a direct petition to Oliver Cromwell the Lord Protector, the countess managed to snarl matters in so much red tape that she preserved the estates largely intact....
By 1659 it was obvious to the countess that the Puritan government was adrift, and carefully, through her son Harry, she began to prepare to cut her Puritan ties and resume her close relations with the Stuarts, whose obligations to her dead husband were great. ... Before she could effect her plans, both Harry Lee and his wife died in 1659, he of smallpox and she in childbirth,... The countess was left with two small granddaughters, Ellen and Anne Lee; her second son, Frank Lee, who became the new Baron of Ditchley, and her thirteen-year-old son John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester. Through these progeny and their descendants, the countess maneuvered the family fortunes like a chess master for the next twenty-five years...
... Through her family connections with the Apsleys, the St. Johns, the Villierses, the Osborns, and the Howards, the countess showed herself far removed from the fearful, "helpless" young widow of 1640.
... five short years, the countess had woven an elaborate web of relationships with the Stuarts, ...
In 1667 a subtle but severe rift came between the countess and her son Rochester. ... Then, late in 1667, Frank, her remaining Lee son died suddenly. Since he left two infant boys, Edward Henry and Francis, to join as heirs with the countess' other grandchildren, Ellen and Anne Lee, the countess resumed her role as champion of the Lees against the counter-interests of the Wilmots, who were represented by Lord Rochester, then twenty-one years old. The countess retained a special love for the children of her first husband, which the morals and manners of her son Rochester and his wife did little to displace; and though her "love" in time did inestimable damage to the Lees, she always preferred them to the Wilmots.
In 1673 the opposition between Rochester and his mother reached a crisis when the old lady wanted to marry her granddaughter Ann Lee ("Nan") to a notorious rake and Whig sympathizer, Thomas Wharton, ... Ellen Lee had made a highly suitable marriage, in 1672, to James Bertie, Lord Norrys of Abingdon, .. Rochester was horrified when Nan, perhaps against her own wishes, was wedded to Wharton. A compromise of sorts was worked out, however, in 1674, when Edward Henry Lee was formally betrothed to the Lady Charlotte Fitz-roy, a bastard daughter of Charles II and Lady Castlemain. He was eleven years old and she was ten when the engagement was made formal, and he was created Earl of Lichfield in anticipation of his future as a royal son-in-law. When they reached the ages of puberty, the Lichfields were wed in 1677, but several terrible family wrangles over money and rights preceded that. ...By 1679, when Rochester gained a sweet revenge against the king by helping to impeach his lord treasurer, political and economic conflicts were already threatening to rip the families to bits.
When Lord Rochester died his repentent, dramatic death in July 1680, his mother the countess extracted every drop of remorse from him for all his past misdeeds. The series of letters written in June and July by her express the countess' passionately sincere belief that her son's torments of agony were caused by the devil's wrestling for his soul; she gloried in the spectacle of her son's spiritual triumph and got him to sign a Remonstrance of Faith, which she witnessed. After he was buried, Anne the dowager countess authorized the publication of the funeral sermon, which called Rochester "the greatest of sinners." After the death of his widow and his son Charles, in 1681, she undertook the raising of Rochester's three daughters, and continued to give orders to the various Lees.
..In 1692 the old countess finally relinquished the reins over the yoked families she had controlled for half a century. Leaving Adderbury and Oxfordshire, she settled in London in St. Anne's Soho, where she died in 1696 at the age of eighty-two. She had outlived two husbands, three sons, and many of her grandchildren. ... | St. John, Anna (I01850)

Married 2)probably by July 1398, Mercy, daughter of Stephen Hayme, of Winchester, by his wife Christine.
In 1398, Sulham Manor, Berkshire was conveyed by Walter Haywode to Stephen Hayme and Nicholas Carew, probably on account Carew's marriage to Hayme's daughter.
