![Show Contents]() Challoner History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Challoner familyThe surname Challoner was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne) where John, Count of Chalon (1190-1267) called the Old (l'Antique), was a French nobleman. He was the son of Stephen III of Auxonne and Beatrice, Countess of Châlon. He had three wives and 16 children. Amoung them was John I of Châlon (1259-1316), seigneur d'Arlay, founder of the Châlon-Arlay branch of the house of Ivrea. Some emigrated to England shortly after the Conquest. "In the time of Henry 11. Harduin de Chalons married the heiress of Leigh in Devonshire, where his successors flourished for not less than three centuries and a half ; though the time when they became extinct has never been accurately ascertained. Lyons reckons up twelve descents from the founder of the family, which would bring them down to the reign of Henry VHL, if not later. Their pedigree furnishes a list of great alliances; among them we find co-heiresses of the famous houses of Cantelupe, Mauduit, and Beauchamp. " Challons-Leigh," says Westcote, " takes denomination from the issue of the great Earl of Challons, of whose third son came Sir Harduin de Challons ; and after, Sir Peter Challons of Challons-Leigh under King John ; Sir Ralph, under Edward I.: divers others in descent, until Catharine, a daughter and heir of the family, weakened the strength of their state by strengthening St. Awbin ; yet there remained a branch of the same stock, but planted in another soil." This was in the parish of Tavistock. 1 Early History of the Challoner familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Challoner research.

| Challoner migration to West Indies | + |
The British first settled the British West Indies around 1604. They made many attempts but failed in some to establish settlements on the Islands including Saint Lucia and Grenada. By 1627 they had managed to establish settlements on St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Barbados, but by 1641 the Spanish had moved in and destroyed some of these including those at Providence Island. The British continued to expand the settlements including setting the First Federation in the British West Indies by 1674; some of the islands include Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Belize then known as British Honduras. By the 1960's many of the islands became independent after the West Indies Federation which existed from 1958 to 1962 failed due to internal political conflicts. After this a number of Eastern Caribbean islands formed a free association. 5Challoner Settlers in West Indies in the 17th Century- Miles Challoner, who settled in Barbados in 1654
