    Nonconformity
    The earliest record of nonconformity in Erlestoke occurs in 1672 when William Aldridge was licensed as a Baptist teacher at the house of Thomas George. (fn. 91) William Gough, who has been called both an Independent and a Presbyterian, ministered to the church until 1685. (fn. 92) From 1689 to 1714 Edward Froude led the church: John Watts of Westbury was pastor from 1720 to 1731. In the meantime a church at Bratton was growing out of a meeting in the house of Jeffery Whittaker; in 1734 a meeting-house was built there and some time after 1740 Erlestoke church was merged into Bratton. (fn. 93) In 1702 the dwelling-house of Isaac Axford the younger was licensed for Quaker meetings

    3063 Reference pages 97-98 of "Calendar of State Papers--Domestic, Charles I, 1634-5." An entry dated 29 Jun 1634 states the following: "49. Petition of Sir John St. John and Sir Edward Hungerford, brothers of Dame Lucy, wife of Sir Allen Apsley, deceased, on behalf of Allen, William, James, Lucy, and Barbara, children of the said Sir Allen by the said Dame Lucy, to the King...in trust for Sir Allen Apsley, who dying the 20th of the same month, before the grant passed, his Majesty directed that the reversion should be granted to William Alston .... and without a surrender and new grant no present benefit for the children can be raised thereby. Pray a declaration how his Majesty intended the benefit of the grant, and to refer the care of seeing the same performed to some of the Council. (The King ruled for the children.)

    Written by Lucy Apsley nee St John in her Memoirs:
    ... he chanc'd to see my mother at the house of Sir William St. John, who had married her eldest sister; and Apsley though he went on his journey, yett something in her person and behaviour he carried allong with him, which would not let him accomplish it, but brought him back to my mother. She was of a noble famely, being the youngest daughter of Sr. John St. John, of Lidiard Tregoz, in the county of Wilts; her father and mother died when she was not above five yeares of age, and yet at her nurse's, from whence she was carried to be brought up in the house of Lord Grandison, her father's younger brother; an honorable and excellent person, ... The rest of my aunts, my mother's sisters, were disperst to several places, where they grew up till my uncle Sr. John St. John, being married to the daughter of Sr. Thomas Laten, they were all brought home to their brother's house. .... My uncle's wife, who had a mother's kindnesse for her, perswaded her to remove herself from her sisters' envie, by going along with her to the Isle of Jernsey where her father was governor, which she did, and there went into the towne, and boarded in a French minister's house, to learn the language, ...But at her returne she met with many afflictions ; the gentleman who had professt so much love to her, in her absence had bene by most vile practises and treacheries, .... While she was deliberating, and had fixt upon it in her owne thoughts, resolving it to impart it to none, she was with Sr William St. John, who had married my aunt, when my father accidentally came in there, and fell so heartily in love with her, that he perswaded her to marry him, which she -did [1616], and her melancholly made her conforme chearfully to that gravity of habitt and conversation which was becoming the 'wife of such a person, who was then forty-eight yeares of age, and she not above 16. The first yeare of their marriage was crown'd with a sonne, called after my father's name, and borne at East Smithfield in that house of the king's which belong'd to my father's employment in the navie. The next yeare [1617] they removed to the Tower of London, whereof my father was made lieftenant, and there had two sonns more before me, and 4 daughters and 2 sonns after ; of all which only 3 sons and 2 daughters surviv'd him att the time of his death, which was in the 63rd yeare of his age, after he had 3 yeares before languish of a consumption that succeeded a feaver which he gott in the unfortunate voyage to the Isle of Rhee.... All the time she dwelt in the Tower, if any were sick, she made them broths and restoratives with her owne hands, visited and tooke care of them, and provided them all necessaries; if any were aflicted she comforted them, so that they felt not the inconvenience of a prison who were in that place. She was not lesse bountifull to many poore widdowes and orphans. . . . She was a constant frequenter of weekeday lectures, and a greate lover and encourager of good ministers. When my father was sick, she was not satisfied with the attendance of all that were about him, but made herselfe his nurse and cook and phisitian She died at my house at Owthorpe, in the county of Nottingham, in the year 1659."
    Lady Apsley certainly did not neglect her daughter's education, for Mrs. Hutchinson says that when she was about seven years of age she had at one time eight tutors in several qualities, languages, music, dancing, writing, and needlework. Amongst other things, she learnt Latin, and was so apt that she outstripped her brothers, who were at school,.... Mrs. Hutchinson makes no mention of her mother's second marriage, yet there is reason to believe there was such a marriage, .... It appears that she was living at Richmond with her two Courtship daughters, Lucy and Barbara, about the year 1637; and it was here that the courtship of Lucy Apsley by Colonel John Hutchinson took place.

    Original Text:
    1652. RICHARD WEST was indicted for a misdemeanor .

    WILLIAM BARNAP NEATE. I live at Mr. Samuel Neate 's, a butcher. Mr. Harvey keeps the St. Paul's coffee-house: my master serves him. On the 7th of September the prisoner came to our shop, and asked for a leg of lamb fo Mr. Harvey, of St. Paul's; I expected he was one of his servants, and therefore I let him have it - I sent in the bill next day, and it was objectd to; I never saw the prisoner but once before.

    WILLIAM HARVEY . I keep the St. Paul's coffee-house. I deal with Neate's master - I never gave the prisoner orders to go for a leg of lamb; I think he has applied to me for a situation as porter, but I never employed him - I understand he has assisted one of my servants.

    3090 Richmond Family Records by Henry I. Richmond, Vol. 2 The Richmonds Alias Webb of Wiltshire, Alard and Son, Ltd, 21 Hart Street, London, 1935.
    Question of origins of the family. Two views. a) either based on Visit. of Glouc. 1622-3 p. 195 the Coat of Arms of Richard de Richmond of Brough, Catterick. Originated in Yorkshire or
    b) originated in Wilts as yeoman and grew wealthy through sheep and grants of monastery land by Henry 8. The other coat of arms, sometimes called Richmond, sometimes Webb(Burke's General Armory) Seems to have been two branches, one at Draycott Folliott Manor and called Richmond als. Webb, from a marriage with a Webb heiress in 1430. The other branch living at Binol in 1493.

    William Richmond of Draycott Folliot, parish of Chiseldom, Wiltshire is listed in the Visitation of Gloucesterchire(1682) as a Yorkshireman.

    3091 Robert lived in a Boarding House in Clifford Street, Toowoomba, run by Muriel Lamb's Mother, Mrs Crouch. He played Cricket and was interested in Rugby League supporting " Clydesdale " the Toowoomba side. He had a natural wit about him and was considered by his workmates to be one of "nature's gentlemen." He had an extradordinary ability with figures and often helped out at The North School, Toowoomba, during Election Times, as he was so good with figures.

    He wasn't gifted with a singing voice but my(daughter) memories of him are singing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles In The Air" whilst making porridge (on the wood stove) at Taylor St, Toowoomba. Also "If You Were The Only Girl in the World." There was a Diggers Session on the Radio 6.30 pm Saturday who sang all these old songs, also " Hang Out Your Washing On the Zigfield Line."

    Robert Craig was Locomotive Staff Clerk, General Manager's Office, Toowoomba. Worked in the Railway Department at Toowoomba from abt. 1920 to 1950.

    3093 Robert BROWN married Sarah (--?--). Family: his will refers to "my father's will". Could he be the brother of John Brown of Overton whose will proved in 1664 (Arch Wilts) mentions brothers and sisters and their children including a brother Robert whose family matches this one fairly closely?
    Another possibility is that he is the Robert Brown born c1605, younger son of Thomas (d 1608) and Frances of Marlborough (see Ipm). This Thomas was descended from the Weare alias Brown family, who were fairly prominent and can be traced several generations further back. One of them was mayor of Marlborough many times and also MP for the town.
    This Robert lived at Manton and had at least 5 children, including three daughters. He fought on the side of Parliament in the Civil War. Was living at East Kennett when he purchased Preshute Estate.

    3095 Robert Young, son and heir of Sir John, was born on 1st July, 1570. His grandfather John Wadham, the father of Dame Joan, his mother, in his will dated 1st April, 1577, mentions all the children of "my son Sir John Yonge,"- Robert, Jane, and Margaret Younge.
    On attaining the age of 21 years in 1591, he proved his father's will, and afterwards entered into possession of his father's real estates, except the Manor of Hazelbury and the Advowson of the Rectory of Abbotsbury, which Sir John in his will states he had purchased to his wife in redemption of her jointure, and which Sir Robert inherited after his mother's death.
    When knighted in April 1604 he was living in Somersetshire. Earlier he was of Haselbury, Wiltshire. Robert Younge's lifestyle was dissolute and resulted in him mortgaging family property in the 1590s and being forced to sell it in 1603.
    He may have been twice married.
    His half-sister, Ann Bridgman, of Badminton Magna, Gloucester, widow, nee Strangwayes, in her will dated 10 th February, 1606, names "Elizabeth Young, daughter of Sir Robert Young by his first wife." She also names Peregrine Young, son of my brother, Sir Robert Young, and also Nicholas Young, son of Sir Robert Young. This difference of description between Elizabeth and her brothers seems to imply children by differnt mothers.

    No will of him, nor of his sons Nicholas or Peregrine have been found to date. Peregrine Young, son of Sir Robert, married Theophila, daughter of John Butcher, or Bowcher, Alderman of Bristol, and widow of a Thrupp. He is named in the will of John Bowcher in 1620.

    3098 ROE, Sir THOMAS (1581?-1644), ambassador, son of Robert Rowe, was born at Low Leyton, near Wanstead in Essex, in 1580 or 1581. His grandfather, Sir Thomas Rowe or Roe, merchant tailor, was alderman, sheriff (1560), and lord mayor of London (1568); Mary, daughter of Sir John Gresham, was Sir Thomas's wife [see under Gresham, Sir Richard; and Remembrancia, p. 332]. Robert, the father of the ambassador, died while his son was a child (Wood, Athenæ, ed. Bliss, iii. 111). His mother, Elinor, daughter of Robert Jermy of Worstead, Norfolk (Philpot pedigree in College of Arms), subsequently married ‘one Berkeley of Rendcomb in Gloucestershire, of the family of the Lord Berkeley.’
    Thomas matriculated as a commoner of Magdalen College, Oxford, on 6 July 1593, at the age of twelve. He had clearly powerful family influence, whether from the Berkeleys, the family of his stepfather, or from his father's wealthy relations. After spending some time ‘in one of the inns of court or in France or both’ (Wood), he was appointed esquire of the body to Queen Elizabeth in the last years of her reign, and after her death was knighted by James I on 23 March 1604-5. He was popular at court, especially with Henry, prince of Wales, and his sister Elizabeth, afterwards queen of Bohemia; and the former gave him his first opportunity of distant travel by sending him ‘upon a discovery to the West Indies.’ Roe equipped a ship and pinnace, and sailed from Plymouth on 24 Feb. 1609-10. Striking the mouth of the Amazon, then unknown to English explorers, he sailed two hundred miles up the river, and rowed in boats one hundred miles further, making many excursions into the country from the banks; then returning to the mouth, he explored the coast and entered various rivers in canoes, passing over ‘thirty-two falles in the river of Wia Poko’ or Oyapok. Having examined the coast from the Amazon to the Orinoco for thirteen months, without discovering the gold in which the West Indies were believed to abound, he returned home by way of Trinidad, and reached the Isle of Wight in July 1611. Twice again was he sent to the same coast, ‘to make farther discoveries, and maintained twenty men in the River of Amozones, for the good of his countrey, who are yet [1614] remaining there, and supplied’ (Stow, Annales, continued by Howes, 1631, p. 1022). At the close of 1613 he was at Flushing ‘going for Captaine Floods companye,’ who was just dead (Collins, Letters and Memorials of State of the Sydney Family, ii. 329). While in the Netherlands he

    By the unfailing courtesy of the editor of "The Leader", and at the request of a large number of friends, I am penning a brief account of the life ended on Thursday last, and preface same by distinctly saying that my wife never considered herself in the light of a paragon. She was very human and had her faults, and was ever cognizant of same. Still, she was a marvellous woman, the world always told me so, and tonight in my loneliness I know it for truth. My wife was the youngest daughter of the late Captain Watson, of Sydney, one of the keenest yachtsmen the harbor club ever had, his measurements and tonnage being the governing standard of yacht-racing to-day, and in the "Ella," built under her father's directions, the subject of these lines proved herself very smart. At the death of her father, the family removed to a suburb of Sydney, and it was here that her magnetic power of organising displayed itself. "Will you build me a church?" the speaker was an Anglican minister, standing at a tent door after the evening service, and the reply came, "I will." That night the realm of art lost one who would, without a doubt, have risen to world-wide fame, for at the age of 17 my wife was sweeping all before her with her pencil in some of the exhibitions, beating close on a thousand competitors in "black and white". In less than four years the clergyman referred to held his services in a substantial church, lived in a two-storied parsonage-both brick buildinggs-his home being furnished from top to bottom. A spacious schoolroom, asphalted paths, and a good fence. The next effort was to help the Sailors' Home then in course of erection, and my wife's band of workers took part in a three days' bazaar, all pinafores. H.M.S. Pinafore was their stall, at which they took over £600, a record for many years. Crossing to England she worked just as hard for Dr. Barnard's Home, and her efforts at Bell are well known. Neither did she spare herself on Sundays, for many years holding the children's classes twice a day. The morning she passed away was the day fixed for closing the "Working Bee" so far as work was concerned, and all members were coming to "Dalmoora". When the end came it was at the last that her indomitalbe spirit burst forth. Some few hours before her death she called her elder daughter and asked her to enter up one or two items in connection with the Society's work, and when this was done she gently said "My life's work is finished, and I am ready for a long sleep".
