_James Chaloner_ (Vol. vii., p. 334.).--MR. HUGHES is mistaken in imagining
that James Chaloner the herald-painter was the same person as James
Chaloner, Governor of the Isle of Man, and one of the judges of Charles I.
He will find the error exposed by Chalmers (_Biog. Dict._, JAS. C.), and in
my family, as descendants of the latter James Chaloner, there are among his
papers many which prove the governor to have been (as MR. HUGHES doubts)
the son of Sir Thomas Chaloner of Gisborough.
Should any farther doubts remain on the subject, I shall be happy to give
all information required concerning these papers, among which are the
original commission of governor and captain, signed by Lenthal, and
twenty-one letters from Lord Fairfax to his "dear cousin James Chaloner."
The son of Sir Thomas Chaloner married Ursula Fairfax. It may be presumed
the herald-painter did not stand in the same relationship to the
Parliamentary general. Lord Fairfax thanks his correspondent for a copy of
"his" _History of the Isle of Man_.
