     Gilbertus died.
      The earliest part of the Jocelyn lineage is according to the pedigree in several Visitation reports. There is no documentary evidence to support it until about 1201 after which date a few brief records establish a line of descent that seems to confirm the Visitation pedigree. The earliest and undocumented part before 1200 must be garbled for there are just too many generations for the chronology.

      That the Jocelyn family was settled in England at an early date seems beyond doubt. In the Chronicles of the Monastery of Abingdon in Berkshire is the following entry. Altho there is no exact date given, it is apparently of about 1100 to 1135.

      Concerning a certain Tithe: A certain knight, Jocelin by name, being well pleased by this religious house, gave to God and Saint Mary, in the presence of Dom vincent the Abbot and of the whole convent in chapter, two parts of a tithe of all his things which he had in a certain property, which is called "The Grove", both of crops and of livestock, or of all things upon which he ought rightfully to pay tithes. After whose death, Randolph his son did grant a fact, as to flocks or other things, he asserted that neither he hiself nor his father ever granted them. However, the truth of the matter having been heard from many people, in the time Dom Walchelin the Abbot he came into the chapter of the bretheren and himself devoutly granted the tithe of everything which his father gave. And, because that tithe had been assigned to the use of the sick bretheren, he, with his own hand placed upon the altar which was in the invalids' oratory, confirmed it in perpetuity.
