Biography

Birth and Parentage

If this Francis was the son of Edward Chamberlayne and Jane Unknown, he was probably named after his grandfather's brother Francis Chamberlayne, who was a gentleman of London.

Only one record has been found for his death, and none for his birth. It is possible that this person is the same person as Frances Chamberlayne, for whom a birth record exists, but no death record.

Research Notes

Either this person was born after Francis Sr. wrote his will, or had already died.

If this Francis is the same person as Frances Chamberlayne, then the discrepancy has been caused by the spelling: Ms (Mistress?) Francis in the record of 14 February 1707, (Ms? Francis Chamberlayne of Princethorpe').
