The birth and parentage of Bishop Challoner have always been somewhat obscure. The first life by the Rev. James Barnard was published only three years after his death. But, though Barnard knew him for twenty years, his first chapter is disappointing. There are about fourteen pages on the marks of the Church and only about twelve lines on the early life of Challoner!
