James Chaloner

Biography

Appointed Governor of Mann by Lord Fairfax during the Commonwealth — a personal connection, cousin by marriage. Laid charges that William Christian had misappropriated the revenues of the sequestrated bishopric. The funds Christian had spent were church tithes, redirected to pay schoolteachers to educate Manx children. A Manx man spent Manx money on Manx purposes, and the lord who owned the Island called it theft. Christian's son George produced accounts showing the substantial accuracy of the payments. The charges were never proved.
