Charles Chabot
Template:Short description Charles Chabot (baptised 19 March 1815 – 15 October 1882) was an English graphologist who, as part of the firm of Netherclift, Chabot and Matheson,[1] was an early practitioner of questioned document examination.
Chabot was born Battersea, the son of Charles, a lithographer, and Amy née Pearson, a couple of Huguenot descent.[2]
Beginning as a lithographer, he developed as an expert in handwriting and became sought after as an expert witness in a variety of famous trials including the Roupell case and the Tichborne Case.[2]
In 1871, Chabot became involved in establishing the identity of Junius and concluded that he was Sir Philip Francis.[2][3]
Chabot married Sarah née Nichols in 1842 and the couple parented at least one son, Charles. Chabot died at home in London.[2] and was buried at the South Metropolitan Cemetery at West Norwood
