Tree 18. Descendants of William MICHELMORE
(Buckfastleigh 172x)
This is one of four trees originating in Buckfastleigh (Tree 16, 17, 18 and 19). DNA evidence suggests that it shares a common origin with Trees 15 and 17 but says nothing about its relation to Trees 16 and 19. However, documentary evidence suggests that this tree may be an offshoot of Tree 19. A discussion of possible links between the various early Buckfastleigh trees and subtrees is available here.
Several early members of this tree were gentlemen and quite wealthy. For example, Philip moved to Cockington in the late 1770s and his grandson Philip later became lord of the manor of Stokeinteignhead. Another Philip acquired an estate at Dinnicombe in Cornworthy in the early 1800s. Some of their wealth was undoubtedly based on woolcombing. “The most obvious course, and the one that often brought the greatest rewards, was to buy and comb more and more wool, put it out to be spun and perhaps twisted and dyed, and sell yarn to manufacturers and converters, in short, to become a gentleman woolcomber. … [There were] great gains to be made from this trade.” (Eric Kerridge:Textile Manufactures in Early Modern England, Manchester University Press, 1985.) Some of the gentlemen may have obtained the wool from the sheep on their own farms.
Many members of this tree emigrated. Australia was a popular destination: The brothers William, Thomas and Charles Andrew went to South Australia in the early 1840s. William's son Philip Ching emigrated to Queensland shortly afterwards, and Philip Hellard moved to South Australia in the 1920s. Philip Jnr also appears to have emigrated to Queensland at some time.
Another popular destination was Canada: The widowed Mary Ellen and her children Charles Philip, Frederick William, Philip John, Victor Cleave, James Henry, Francis Harold and Florence May moved to Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. Then Joseph Henry moved to British Columbia in 1906, followed by his brother Arthur John a year later. Most of them stayed, but Frederick William moved on to Victoria, Australia, after a few years and settled there instead.
Other emigrants were Joanna, who emigrated to New Zealand with her husband in 1859, and John, who emigrated to the USA in 1889. Less adventurous were the brothers William Henry and John, who moved to London in the 1860s, and John Symons, who moved there in the 1880s.

An independent reconstruction of William's ancestry is available here. It contains several unjustified assumptions.
The 1768 marriage record may refer to Joan [Tree 17].
The extant records show no such couple as William and Mary in Buckfastleigh at the time of Mary's birth. It has therefore been assumed "Mary" was a misprint for "Margaret".
Grace's husband died less than 2 weeks after their marriage, but a daughter was baptised 8Jun1790. Witness Robert MICHELMORE has not been identified. |

There was only one building at Huntington: Huntingdon Warren Farm. It was occupied at various times by Thomas and his descendants John, Philip, William, Philip John and William Henry. Traces of at least 18 rabbit warrens have been found on Dartmoor.
In relation to average earnings, Thomas's estate would have been equivalent to about £330,000 today.
It would appear that, for some reason, Elizabeth's death was registered twice. |

Description of the memorial
William may have inherited the family home in Ashburton, and returned home in 1872.
Descriptions of the four windows erected in the Ashburton Parish Church by the MICHELMORE family are available here.
In relation to average earnings, William's estate would have been equivalent to about £5,900,000 today.
In relation to average earnings, Fanny's estate would have been equivalent to about £220,000 today.
In relation to average earnings, Bartholomew's estate would have been equivalent to about £8,000,000 today.
In relation to average earnings, Richard's original estate would have been equivalent to about £3,400,000 today.
How did this family start out so humbly (shoemaker, grocer, carpenter, clerk) and end up so well off and referred to as gentlefolk? The various siblings inherited a total of £450 from their father in 1846, but it is unlikely that they could have multiplied this so many fold. One possibility is that Thomas made it rich as a merchant in the USA and when he died in 1862 left his fortune to his brother Bartholomew, who had been in the USA with him. Fanny died in 1875 with only ₤450, but when Bartholomew died in 1876 he may have left his ₤14,000 to his remaining siblings. (This would explain why they erected a memorial to Bartholomew and Thomas.) Rebecca died in 1886 with ₤5,000, Susanna in 1889 with ₤2,000, Richard in 1891 with ₤7,000 and William in 1891 with ₤11,500.
In relation to average earnings, Susanna's estate would have been equivalent to about £1,000,000 today. |

It appears that William failed to pay his debts in England and was still being sought 10 years later.
When William and Jane emigrated to Australia, they left their infant son Philip in England. He did not move to Australia until 1849.
Meadows is to the south east of Adelaide.
Michelmore Drive in Meadows may be named after William or any one or more of his descendants.
In relation to average earnings, William’s estate would have been equivalent to about £550,000 today.
A memorial stone in Slapton parish church describes Jane as “daughter of Nicholas and Ann CHING, died in Australia” and gives the date of her death as 17Oct1883.
In relation to average earnings, Jane’s estate would have been equivalent to about £400,000 today.
Michelmore's bridge was still so-called in 1949, when it was repaired and strengthened.
Louisa's husband was previously married to her sister Sarah. |

Note. The Yorke Peninsula is to the west of Adelaide (see map available here). In relation to average earnings, the land he bought there would have cost Charles the equivalent of about ₤850,000 today.
Thomas's death record seems to have confused his father Charles with his brother James.

A chart showing the relationship between Philip and Jonathan ROOSE is available here.
In relation to average earnings, Philip's property would have rented for the equivalent of about £125,000 a year today.
Plaque inside Combeinteignhead parish church
A photograph of the family gravestone is available here. It also names his brothers Henry and John and his sister Mary. It is believed that the reference to Philip's wife as "otherwise WATKINS, spinster" means that, at the time of her marriage, her surname was WATKINS and she was a spinster. In relation to average earnings, Philip's estate would have been equivalent to about £3,000,000 today.
Anne was a niece of Philip's first wife Betsey. Her brother George [Tree 900] named one of his children Henry Michelmore WATKINS, the middle name presumably in honour of Philip. A chart showing the family relationships is available here.
In relation to average earnings, Anne's estate would have been equivalent to about £430,000 today. |

It would appear that Philip was enumerated twice in 1841.
On what was presumably his honeymoon, Philip may have visited his uncles Thomas and Charles in South Australia.
In relation to average earnings, Philip's estate would have been equivalent to about £6,400,000 today. Harold [Tree 17] was chairman of the Coffer Tavern Company when it was wound up in 1914. |

William was baptised as an adult. The baptism record gives his own address and occupation, rather than that of his father.
Family photo taken during William's visit to Vancouver
William and his wife Emily visited their sons in Vancouver several times.

b 1838.3 Plymouth b 8Aug1838 Parade, St Andrew, Plymouth, "father William MICHELMORE, innkeeper, mother Jane Harris MICHELMORE formerly CHING" chr 28Aug1838 Plymouth St Andrew 1848 fractured his thigh in farm accident at Dinnicombe (Philip) "His parents came to Australia first. Philip was left in England with an aunt and came out later in the care of the captain of the ship." 1849 @ 11: joined his parents at a farming settlement near Adelaide "It seems that his few years in England left Philip with a very different outlook on life [than the other members of his family], and once he was able to break away from the family in SA he headed north to QLD. The female relative he was left with in England whilst his parents settled in Australia was known to be a ‘Red Ragger’ [i.e., a left winger]. Quite possibly too, being an infant when his parents left him, only to be reunited with them some 7-8 years later, would have been quite a culture shock for him. Not only to be in another country, but with (for all intents) strangers. By this time his parents had had more children which they would have been ‘connected’ with and Philip would have felt an ‘outsider’. There is [also] a hilarious account of how the family ousted him because he smoked. Philip was very active in the movement away from conservative politics, from what I gather, and was quite liberal in his thoughts and approach. "From the stories I’ve heard, and from what I can gather just from the records, Philip seems to have been a very kind hearted man, as was Ellen. How many men would adopt and care for the children of another man, even when the mother passed away? Philip treated all the children as if they were his own and as far as the family that he lived with in QLD, not a single bad word has been said of him. [His family were] rather miffed that [he] adopted so many children by ‘loose’ women." 1861 @ 23: moved to Queensland, bought a bullock team and joined a band of carriers based at Rockhampton (Phillip C) 1862 purchased 8 ha Crown Land in Moggill parish [now in Brisbane] (Philip MICHELEMORE) m1 1864 Country Districts QLD, OLDERSHAW (Philip C) m1 21Jan1864 Bowen QLD, OLDERSHAW ?1866-67 ^ Denley, Port Curtis, Rockhampton: drawing a salary (M) 1868 ^ Bowen Downs Station, Bully Creek QLD (J) 1868-1885 leased land in QLD 30Apr1870 unclaimed letter from UK for him at Brisbane QLD (?) 30Dec1871 unclaimed letter for him at Ipswich QLD (P C) 4 May1872 unclaimed Official Colonial letter for him at Denby QLD (M) 2Nov1872 three unclaimed letters for him at Clermont QLD (P C) 4Jan1873 unclaimed Official Colonial letter for him at Warra Warra QLD (P C) 1874 teamster, working with bullock and horse teams in Dawson Valley [SE of Rockhampton QLD]; later moved to Pentland QLD, the temporary terminus of a rail line to be built from Townsville QLD through Charters Towers QLD (where gold was being mined); made good living with haulage for local cattle stations and carting sleepers for the railway; later moved to Charters Towers 1885 ^ Hodgkinson Street, Charters Towers 25Sep1876 sentenced to 6 wk imprisonment in Rockhampton Gaol for striking the overseer at Gracemere Station while fence making 1876-77 cattle station worker ^ Blackall; 6 mo residence m2 187x, BOWEN [de facto] 1885 ^ Hodgkinson Street, Charters Towers m3 1888 Country Districts QLD, WILTSHIRE m3 5Jan1888 Charters Towers, WILTSHIRE 1889-1908 timber-getter ^ Cape River, Pentland 25Mar1892 application for goldfield homestead at 2r Hacket Terrace, Charters Towers, conditionally approved (Philip C) 1894 ^ Torrens Creek QLD: gave up carrier business and settled in Pentland (Phillip C) 1895 miner @ 56 ^ Deep Lead, Pentland 1897 ^ Deep Lead, Pentland 1903 lay in bush for 16 hr with a broken thigh (Phillip C) 1903-1908 timber-getter ^ Cape River, Pentland 1908-1909 applied for a Queensland old age pension 1913-1922 ^ Cape River, Pentland 1927 selector ^ Pentland (Philip C) d 17Feb1934 @ 95, "natural causes" d 17Feb1934 Pentland @ 96; bur Pentland, "erected by his loving daughters".

Philip Ching
Another brief description of Philip's life in North Queensland is included in the document available here.
A selector was a person who had been allotted a relatively small plot of Crown land. If he cultivated the land effectively, he became its owner after three years.
Memorial to Philip and Ellen Another memorial in the same cemetery commemorates a Philip MICHELMORE who died in 1892—possibly Philip, his first cousin twice removed. An obituary is available here.
Florence, Ernest and
Edith's step-brother Ernest had married Thomas's sister Lydia MARTEL the year before she married Thomas.
