The following is a small article on Whatever happened to the BRUNES under Sir John BRUNE's entry Whatever Happened to the Brunes? Sir John Brune died in 1559 and left his estates, including Grange farm, to his son Henry. As Henry was a minor he had to wait for his inheritance to be bought back for him from the Ward of Courts when he attained his majority. In 1571 he married Elizabeth Martyn, the eldest daughter of Nicholas Martyn of Aethelhampton. His son John was baptised in 1577 in St.Mary Magdelen, Piddleton, together with his six sisters. Henry died in 1594 leaving Grange farm in trust to provide for his five surviving daughters. The following year Sir Nicholas Martyn died and left Aethelhampton House to his four daughters as co-heiresses. The Brune family went on to acquire another two shares and by 1645 owned three-quarters of Aethelhampton Manor. Henry's son John took over the advowson and Manor of Rowner, matriculated from Brasenose college Oxford in October 1594 and was knighted in Whitehall in 1619. Because he lived and was baptised in Dorset his name does not appear in the Parish Register nor on the Lay Subsidy Rolls of Rowner. His name does, however, appear on the Titchfield Hundred Muster Lists as furnishing a number of musketeers and corselettes. At this time 'our' Brunes held land in Rowner and elsewhere in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Dorset. Sir John died in 1639 and his nephew John inherited Rowner. John was born in 1622, was educated at St.Albans college Oxford and matriculated in October 1639. He died aged 23 in 1645 and his brother Charles inherited. The male line died out in 1769 and the estates devolved to the Prideaux family in Dorset. Please note that although Henry left the farm at Grange in trust for his daughters it never passed out of the control of the Brunes as the Prideaux-Brunes still held the land in 1796. It is also interesting to note that Sir Maurice Brune, (the great grandfather of the Sir John who died in Rowner in 1559), was listed among the gentlemen of Essex and was sherriff of that county, so it is unlikely that the early Brunes were resident in Rowner.

She also had three brothers who predeceased her father Nicholas MARTYN who died in 1595, Elizabeth MARTYN’s mother was Margaret MARTYN née WADHAM. She was the sister of Nicholas WADHAM the founder of Wadham College, Oxford in 1613. The Brune line goes back to about 1301to Sir William le Brune from records that are available. Father – Giles TURNER of Corfe Castle Brune Dackombe, the son of Edward of Corfe Castle by his second marriage to Anne, daughter of Henry Brune of Athelhampton, was born in 1617 at York; this date is based on the Visitation of Dorset in 1623, but is at variance with the date given in the Alumni Oxonienses. He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford - having matriculated at 15. He married under a marriage settlement dated 11th November 1639, Mary, the daughter of Sir Lawrence Bernard. Their son and heir, Edward, is the only child ascribed to them in the Corfe Pedigrees but in later Composition Papers, Brune states 'his four children'. As described in the preceding Corfe history, he inherited the lease of the Manor house in Corfe from his father, and this was given as his residence at the Hearth Tax Assesment in 1662-1664; also living there was Lady Grace Lawrence and other members of the Dackombe family. In 1645, after the famous seige, Corfe Castle fell to the Roundheads, and Brune's lands, valued in 1641 at £100 p.a., were sequestered; it is clear that he had already declared for the King, and was imprisoned in the Castle about 1646 where he 'languored for some months'. In April, 1646 he appealed for the restoration of his sequestered estate, but it appears that some dispute had arisen as to the payment of his Delinquency fine. He made claim on his estates for the upbringing of his four children and the guardianship of William Fortesque's children. In a letter dated 23 May, 1664 from Brune to the Earl of Clarendon, Lord High Chancellor, concerning a Bill of Chancery, he states that he 'had to borrow money to meet a Delinquency fine from Thorpe Groome - London (shoemaker) on security of a mill at Corfe Castle'. It is not yet established when Brune died, but his son Edward's children were on the Pedigree from 1672 and it is to be presumed that Brune was deceased before this date. The Purbeck stone has lasted a little longer - both the mill and Manor House still stand. The following is an Article by Doreen William in 1992 about Brune DACKOMBE, some of the information it contains is already contained in the other notes.

The idea of these charts is to give the same information that appears in the research we have done and put together in various books. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
