TEMPLE CHEVALLIER | 1675 - 1722
Temple was born in Jersey on the 4th September 1675. The sponsors at his baptism were, according to family records, Sir Philip de Carteret, Bart, Sir Edward de Carteret, Kt., and Mrs later Lady Judith Jermyn, the wife of Henry Jermyn, who in 1685 was created Baron of Dover and was the third Jermyn to hold the position of Governor of Jersey.
The fact that both the de Carteret's and the Jermyn's were two of the most influential families on the island of Jersey and were sponsors of Temple shows that the Chevallier's were Royalist and a family of good repute in the Island.
Indeed John Chevallier wrote a journal from 1643 to 1650 chronicling the events, which occurred on the island including the visit of Charles II to Jersey on his way to exile in France.
Temple's father, Clement died in 1687 when Temple was only 12 years old.
There appears to be little information as to why Temple Chevallier and his mother, ended up buying Aspall Hall, one can only assume that there must be some link through the Brooke and Susannah's family the Temples.
Temple Chevallier died aged 47 on 5 December 1722. Leaving no heirs, his will of November 10 1722 left the hall and estate to Clement Chevallier, of St. Heliers, Jersey.
