Jocelyn Lineage

These lineage charts are intended to show the principal line of the main family from 1200 down to the 1st Earl of Roden (created 1771) and the connections to the branches centred on Horkesley, Braintree and Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, Stourbridge in Worcestershire, to the Rev Ralph Josselin, the diarist of Earls Colne, Essex, and to the American Joslins.

The charts have been prepared by Ben Joscelyne in 2011 and are based on “Burke’s Peerage and Baronetage” and Richard Joscelyne’s publications for the Josselin Society: “The Jocelins of Hyde Hall” (2007, revised 2009) and “The Joslins of Essex Under the Tudors and Stuarts” (2008).  The Horkesley descent has been provided by John Hallum.
