1-William Talbot (I) b. Abt 1530, d. 1574, Broadmayne, Dorset, England
Born around 1530, William Talbot (I) was at Corpus Christi College, Oxford in 1547 and at the Inner Temple in 1555.
With money borrowed from his elder brother Thomas, William Talbot (I) purchased the manor of Broadmayne about 1560 from
William West, baron De La Warr.
He married Christian Yeomans and died leaving a PCC will proved in 1574.

2-William Talbot (II) d. 1615, Broadmayne, Dorset, England
William Talbot (II) was second son to William Talbot (I) but survived to inherit the manor of Broadmayne. He married Alice Henning,
daughter of John Henning of Poxwell Manor (PCC will 1617) and Dorothy Warham, daughter of John Warham of Compton Valence (PCC will 1572).
The Hennings and Warhams are detailed in the 1623 visitation. His PCC will was proved in 1615. Henceforth the family named the eldest son William.

3-William Talbot (III) b. 1591, Broadmayne, Dorset, England, d. After 1662, Little Mayne, West Knighton, Dorset
William (III) was first son of William Talbot (II) and Alice Henning. According to the visitation he was born around 1591. He married second Honor,
daughter of William Tulse of Hinton Admiral and sister of Henry Tulse MP (d.1642). In 1625 William Talbot (III) took out a lease of lives
on the farm and manor of Little Mayne.The three lives concerned were William Talbot (III),
his wife Honor and their son William Talbot (IV). This document makes the link missing in Hutchins, the fact that the Talbots of Broadmayne and
Little Mayne were the very same family.
In 1629 he also purchased the tithes of the long-defunct Little Mayne chapel.
This purchase is mentioned by Hutchins in the first edition under ‘Knighton’: ‘The tythes now valued at 30l per ann. were vested in Richard Noy;
under whom William Talbot claimed them by purchase 7 Car. I [1632] and to his heirs they still belong. ’ He sold the lordship of the manor of Broadmayne,
but ownership remained in dispute until the 1662 settlement between him, his wife Honor, and Robert Henning, son of his uncle Robert Henning (1590-1660)
who had presented the living of Broadmayne in 1639.

William Talbot (IV) was presumably succeeded by a son and perhaps a grandson, let’s call them William Talbots (V) and (VI),
born respectively about 1650 and 1670. What we know for certain is that William Talbot, gentleman of Little Mayne,
took out a further lease on Little Mayne Farm in 1692 (Dorset History Centre ref: D1/11749).
This date may mark the death of William Talbot (IV), the third of the three lives benefitting from the lease of 1625.
7-William Talbot (VII) b. Bef 1697, c. Broadmayne, Dorset, England, d. 1733, Broadmayne, Dorset, England
William Talbot (VII) was born some time before 1697, son (I suggest) of William Talbot (VI, or V) and died intestate in 1733. By then Little Mayne Farm was
in other hands; in 1731, James Spratt had taken out a lease on Little Mayne Farm.
Documents after this date describe the family as of Broadmayne not Little Mayne; the tithes of the chapel, however, still belonged to the family.
When William Talbot (VII) died intestate in 1733, his estate was administered by his widow Mary, who then left a 1754 will proved in 1756. In 1743 his brother Richard Talbot, yeoman of Arne,
signed a bond of guardianship in favour of William Talbot (VIII), ‘William Talbot a minor the natural and lawful son of William Talbot the elder late of
the parish of Broadmaine … intestate’. We can identify this Richard Talbot, who died in East Burton 1775,
with the child born in the parish of West Knighton (where Little Mayne is) on July 24, 1697 (son of William) and baptised in Broadmayne on August 15, 1697
(son of William Talbot junior of Little Mayne and Mary his wife): ‘Richardus filius Gulielmi Talbot Jun de Little Mayne et Mariae uxoris Bapt Augusti 15’.
This last entry informs us, then, that William Talbot (VII)’s parents were William and Mary.

William (VIII) was the son of William (VII) and Mary [?]. Baptised in Broadmayne October 2, 1724, "1724 Gulielmi filius Gulielmi & Maria Talbot Bap 2...[smudged]",
he was favoured the guardianship of his uncle Richard in 1743 when he was about 17 or 18 years old likely to preserve heritage rights.
While his father (VII) died intestate, he is not mentioned in his mother’s 1754 (proved 1756) will which left her household to her daughter Mary, a kettle to
daughter Elizabeth Sherrin, and an oaken chest to her grandson John, William (VIII)'s second son. In 1741 William married Ann Lush, the
daughter of John and Elizabeth Lush in Blandford Forum when he was only 17, the year before his uncle made him his guardian. Eight children were of this marriage
before Ann died in 1760. Three of those survived to be named in his 1777 will (proved 1781) along with three more by his second wife Hannah Chant whom he married in
Frome St. Quinten in 1768. Those named his will were Elizabeth, Mary, Jane, George, Susanna and William. George and Susanna died just months before their father, both in 1780.
It has been maintained that he is the William baptised in 1742 in Broadmayne, but that parish record shows that while that the father
was William, the mother was “A…[smudged]...butt”. This baptism is clearer in the West Knighton parish register. The 1742 William was the first son of William and
Ann Talbot, especially given the tradition of the first-born male to be named William. This William was buried in 1766: West Knighton PR: “April 8th 1766 Buried William Talbot junior.”
Two years later William (VIII) married again and with Hannah named their first born William.
The question then does arise as to why Mary, in her handwritten and rather informal will of 1754, does not mention her son William or his son William (1742-1766)
who were still alive, but only her grandson John. One can only surmise that they were estranged in some way.
