at Brotherton in 1713, and died in London in 1774, having children by his second wife Magdalen Judith, daughter of Lewis Baril, Esq. His eldest son, Lewis Charles Daubuz, Esq. (born 1755, died 1839), married in 1794 in Cornwall, Wilmot, third daughter of William Arundel Harris Arundel, Esq. of Kenegie; he had nine children, and died at Leyton, in Essex; of his children two sons survived at the head of families. The eldest son was James Baril Daubuz, Esq. of Leyton, Essex and Ryde, Isle of Wight (born 1795), J.P. and D.L. for the county of Sussex, formerly an officer of the Royal Dragoons; his eldest son was Captain John Theophilus Daubuz, R.A. (born 1833, died 1871), whose eldest son is James Claude Baril Daubuz (born 1868). The head of the other family was the Rev. John Daubuz (born 1808), rector of Creed, afterwards rector of Killiow, Cornwall; his heir is John Claude Daubuz. The late Lewis Charles Daubuz, Esq., had a daughter, Anne, who died in 1882, wife of the Hon. John Craven Westenra, and mother of Mary Anne Wilmot, Countess of Huntingdon. (Marie Daubuz, refugee sister of Rev. Charles Daubuz, was married in 1732 to Joshua Vanneck, Esq., afterwards a baronet; she was the mother of Joshua, Lord Huntingfield.)
Delacherois. — This family descends from Samuel la Cherois (see chap, xiii.), only son of Major Nicholas de la Cherois, by Marie Crommelin, sister of the Royal Overseer of the Linen Manufacture. He married in 1734 Sara Cornière, daughter of Daniel Cornière and Sara de Lalande, and his eldest son was Daniel de la Cherois. Daniel’s marriage in 1782 was another tie to the Crommelins, his wife being Mary, daughter of Alexander Crommelin, granddaughter of Samuel Louis Crommelin, junr.; great-granddaughter of Samuel Louis, brother of the celebrated Louis Crommelin. The Major did not make any fortune to retrieve his losses as a refugee. But (as already narrated) his elder brother Daniel, Governor of Pondicherry, acquired great wealth; and Daniel’s only child and heiress, the Dowager-Countess of Mount-Alexander, succeeded by Will to the Earl of Mount-Alexander’s landed estates in County Down. These she divided into two shares, one of which became the property of the eldest surviving son of Daniel De la Cherois and Mary Crommelin. Three sons had sprung from this marriage, of whom the youngest, Ensign Nicholas De la Cherois of the 47th, was killed at Barossa in 1811; the eldest, Daniel of Donaghadee (born 1783, died 1850) was unmarried; thus the representation of the family devolved on the descendants of the second son, Samuel Louis (died 1836). The present head of the family is Nicholas De la Cherois, Esq. of Ballywilliam, County Down (born 1821), late of the 7th Dragoon Guards. The second family is presided over by Daniel De la Cherois, Esq. of the Manor House, Donaghadee (born 1825), M.A. of Dublin, and a member of the Irish Bar; his heir is Daniel Louis (born 1855).
Delacherois-Crommelin. — This family is genealogically De la Cherois and monumentally Crommelin. With regard to the De la Cherois ancestry, the reader must remember that we have disposed of only the eldest son of Samuel De la Cherois and Sara Cornière. There was a second son, Captain Nicholas De la Cherois, of the 9th Regiment, but he left no descendants. The third son, Samuel De la Cherois (born in 1744), is the ancestor of the Delacherois-Crommelins.
The necessity for a monument to the Crommelins arose from the failure of male representatives. Louis, the Royal Overseer, left no surviving son; his brother, Samuel Louis, married at St. Quentin, Judith, daughter of Daniel Truffet and Judith Coulliette, and had four sons, whom we shall account for in four columns:—
| Samuel-Louis | Daniel | James | John (born 1689) |
| married — first, Anne, daughter of Abraham Gillot and Jeanne Crommelin, and granddaughter of Louis Crommelin and Rachel Tacquelet; married — second, Henriette, daughter of Louis Mangin and Jeanne Crommelin, and granddaughter of Samuel Crommelin and Madelaine Testart. He left many daughters and three sons, Samuel, Abraham, and Alexander, all without male heirs. Alexander’s daughter Mary was the wife of Daniel De la Cherois. | married Marie Madelaine (born 1694), only daughter of Major Nicolas De la Cherois and Marie Crommelin, and had three sons, Nicolas, Daniel, and De la Cherois, the last surviving male heirs of the Crommelins, representing their grandfather, Samuel Louis, sen., and their maternal grandmother, Marie, sister of the great Crommelin. | married Esther, daughter of Abraham Gillot and Jeanne Crommelin, and had eight daughters. | (tutor to the Earl of Drogheda) married Esther, daughter of Elie Blaquiere and Catharina Crommelin, and granddaughter of Abraham Crommelin and Marie Boileau. He had three daughters and a son, Isaac. This family left Ireland and settled in Rotterdam. |
