English Vernons
The Quaker Vernons came from Cheshire County England in 1681 and 1682.
The Cheshire Pages is written by a member of the Family History Society of Cheshire. It contains many links to the Vernon's home county of Cheshire England. This part of England has a rich history, due in part to its position as a border region with both Wales and Scotland. I am currently learning more about Cheshire at the time of the English Civil War in the mid 1600's, and the role that religious strife between Catholics, Anglicans, and Quakers played into both the events of the period and our own family history.
Stuart Vernon, a distant English cousin, has researched his family line. Stuart Vernon's Lineage
We are related to him by James Vernon, b.1361. The next step is to dig into Ormerod's History of Cheshire and trace it back down to James Vernon, born considerably later in 1605/9! I just got my mitts on some family tree lines from that book, and will post them shortly.Cheshire and the Domesday Book discusses the county at the time of the Norman conquest of England. 1066 and all that History provides related detail. The Domesday Book is an online source for the famous survey of William the Conqueror's holdings as of 1080, and mentions several Vernons in Cheshire.
Coming soon! cousin Dallie Vernon has scanned Historical Memoirs of the House of Vernon for all of us to enjoy. This details the family's Norman origins and relationships with William the Conqueror, their holdings, with many cites to original documents. I will post his scans shortly.
Haddon Hall is a touristy blurb on the family hall and seat of the Barony.
