Rootweb Gen Medieval
In my continuing series on the extra medieval ancestry of Sarah
Ferguson, we see on Leo's excellent website here
...Leo here shows that William Floyer ascends to William Floyer and his
wife Margaret Lawrence, but William Floyer has further ascent.
The William who married Margaret Lawrence was the grandson of that Anthony Floyer who married Anne Martin "fourth daughter and co-heiress of her father" Nicholas Martin, esq of Athelhampstone, co Dorset by his wife Margaret Wadham.
Margaret Wadham in turn was "one of the three sisters and co-heiresses of Nicholas Wadham, founder of Wadham College"
Nicholas Wadham, born in 1532, died 20 Oct 1609 d.s.p. although
married to Dorothy Petre in 1555, dau of Sir William Petre by Gertrude Tyrrell.

....Nicholas Luttrell, third son of Sir Andrew Luttrell of Dunster (p. 41), was born about 1532. Some provision was made for him by his father and renewed by his elder brother. Under the will of his mother, who died in 1580, he should have received money and plate, but in order to obtain delivery, he had to bring a suit against his sister Margaret Edgcumbe and her husband. In 1562, he got from the Crown a grant of the manor of Honibere in the parish of Lilstock. He was buried at Lilstock on the 23rd of March 1591-2.
A brass memorial ordered by his will does not appear to have been made, but there is an inscription on stone in memory of him, his wife, his mother-in-law, and his grand-daughter.
Jane his wife, daughter of Christopher Cheverell of Chantmerel in Dorset, survived until the 6th of June 1627. Children:
1. Andrew, heir to his father. Andrew Luttrell, eldest son of Nicholas, was born 08.11.1560. He matriculated at Broadgates Hall, Oxford, together with his brother Thomas, in 1579, and was afterwards admitted a student of Gray's Inn. In the early part of 1583, he married Prudence daughter and coheiress of William Abbot, of Hartland Abbey. He consequently migrated from Somerset to Devon. He was buried at Hartland on the 26th of August 1625, and his relict was buried on the 13th of December 1639.
2. Thomas, baptized at East Quantockshead on the 15th of March 1562. He matriculated at Broadgates Hall, Oxford, in 1579, whence he proceeded to Gray's Inn. He is described as a counsellor at law in 1602, and as living at Whitewyke in Somerset two years later. His daughter Mary was buried at Lilstock on the 22nd of October 1612.
3. Hugh, of St. Nicholas in the Isle of Wight. He married Margaret, relict successively of Thomas Hobson and Richard Fitzjames. She administered to the personal estate in 1612, and died in 1627.

In 1592 Walter?s father John had erected a monument at Lydiard Tregoze to his own father, Nicholas St John, who died in 1589, and his mother, Elizabeth Blunt, who died in 1587. He says that his father was prominent in the courts of Edward, Mary and Elizabeth; that he married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Blunt; and that they had three sons, John, Oliver, and Richard, the latter two unmarried, and five daughters, who married well.
In 1630 Walter?s brother John St John inherited the estates in Battersea of his intrepid uncle Oliver, Lord Grandison. At his decease (1633) he was succeeded by his grandson John, who dying childless before he came of age, his uncle Walter obtained the title and the estates. He resided at Battersea, where he died in 1708, leaving an only son Henry his rank and property.

Effigies of Nicholas Wadham of Merefield, Esquire, founder of Wadham College, Oxford, died 1609, in armor, and his wife Dorothy, [daughter of Sir William Petre], 1618, aged 84, with inscription, two scrolls, achievement, and four shields. On an altar tomb in the north transept (the Wadham Chapel).
This brass, probably engraved by Gerard Johnson at his Southwark workshop, is set in a slab of black marble on an altar tomb, which is itself elaborately decorated and has two panels of black marble inscribed with Latin verses.
On the brass, the semi-profile effigy of Nicholas Wadham, in armor, represents him as standing on a circular plinth and turned to the viewer's right to face the semiprofile effigy of his wife Dorothy who stands on another circular platform. Over each is a mouth scroll, that over Nicholas, in black letter, inscribed, "Death is unto me Advantage," and that over Dorothy, “I will not dye but lyve & declare ye works of ye lorde".

Volume 49.
Nicholas Wadham (1531/1532 - 1609) was the benefactor of Wadham College, Oxford .
Wadham was probably born at Merrifield, near Ilton , Somerset. He was the only son of John Wadham and his wife, Joan, daughter of John Tregarthin and widow of John Kellaway. A biography written before 1637 notes Wadham as attending Corpus Christi College, Oxford as a commoner, but not taking a degree. He may have lodged with civil lawyer John Kennall , later canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, Wadham was briefly at court, vitam Aulicam aliquantisper ingressus est. A 'Nicholas Wadham of Brimpton, Somerset', was admitted to the Inner Temple on March 9, 1553 on the pledge of Richard Baker, who was married to Catherine Tyrell, a stepdaughter of Sir William Petre , principal secretary to King Henry VIII , it is likely that the record refers to the same Nicholas Wadham. Nicholas Wadham married Petre's eldest daughter, Dorothy , at St Botolph, Aldersgate on September 3, 1555. Wadham and Dorothy lived with his parents until his father's death in 1578, when his mother moved in to the dower house at Edge.
Wadham was appointed to the commission of the peace and other minor commissions in Somerset, appearing as executor and overseer in the wills of other Somerset gentlemen. Two personal letters of his exist, one from Sir Amias Paulet, Ambassador to Paris, advising that Wadham was unlikely ‘to be envious of our French news’, thanking him for his efforts in the leasing of Paulet's park, the other to John Talbot of Grafton, who had married Dorothy's sister Katherine, regarding Wadham's work in negotiating a lease. Wadham was known for his hospitality and he maintained a fine household at Merrifield. Following his father's example, his will allowed for a full heraldic funeral, and alms to be distributed throughout county. In 1608 the privy council ordered a stay of proceedings against both Wadhams on a charge of recusancy .John Carpenter, the incumbent of Branscombe, dedicated his Contemplations, for the Institution of Children in the Christian Religion (1601) to him, noting his "gentle affability with all persons" and his generosity.
On October 20, 1609, aged seventy-seven, Wadham died at Merrifield and was buried in the family chapel at St Mary's Church, Ilminster on November 21. Thomas Moore described him as "an ancient schismatic", referring to his attendance at Church of England services, and claimed Wadham as ‘dying a Catholic’. As Wadham was childless, his inheritance was due to pass to the children of his three sisters, one of whom was Sir John Wyndham 1558-1645)>, and he determined to use his wealth to perpetuate his name, and in 1606 he founded an almshouse for eight poor people at Ilton. Wadham had also been saving money to found a college in Oxford, but nothing was written down and Wadham's instructions on his deathbed were contradictory, despite this, Dorothy ably attended to his wishes.

Will of Oliver St John of Lambeth, Surrey 24 April 1571 PROB 11/53
THE FAMILY OF ST JOHN OF LAMBETH BY CHARLES F. H. EVANS, F.S.A.
.....Oliver St John, of Lambeth, Surrey, esquire, P.C.C. 18 Holney.
Will dated 11 and proved 24 April 1571 by executrix, his wife Ellynor. Testator bequeaths to his son Oliver St John the lease of his house in London near Paul's Wharf, after the death of his wife ; and to his daughter Suzan St John the profits of lands held of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. Bequests to his base daughter Ann St John; and to his daughter-in-law Marye Henbury £10 on her marriage, or when aged twenty, so presumably she was his stepdaughter.
Testator mentions the children of Thomas Edmondes, of Southampton, borne of the body of Elleyne his wife, one of the daughters of the testator's first wife Anne Stokes.
...Oliver St John, second son of Sir John St John and Jane Ewarby, was seated at Lambeth, Surrey, and married Margaret Love, of Winchelsea, Sussex; and they had three sons: 1. Sir Oliver St John; 2. Nicholas St John, seated at Winchelsea; 3. John St John. John Love, merchant, Mayor of Winchelsea in 1563 and 1567, in his will dated 26 March 1593, bequeaths to his son St John and Margaret his wife (testator's daughter) various lands and tenements, and 'the house which he now dwelleth in in Winchelsea,' ... This Oliver St John cannot be the one whose will has previously been noticed, as the latter died in 1571, twenty-two years before the Mayor of Winchelsea made his will. Probably the generations have been muddled up. The pedigree can be checked against the excellent, annotated, pedigree of St John in the Wiltshire Visitation Pedigrees, 1623.
John St John, of Lydiard Tregoz, by Jane Ewarby, had two sons: John St John, of Lydiard Tregoz, who died 5 April 1576, and Oliver St John, who had a son and heir Oliver St John. No further information is vouchsafed as to these Olivers, who may have been the Lambeth ones. The first John St John died in 1512, and his elder son John was born in 1505, it is probable that the younger son Oliver was born not later than 1510. Further Surrey clues are the marriage at Croydon, 3 August 1563, of Master Olyver Sent John, Squyer, and Maystrise Alice Heron, widow. Also the references in the Lambeth Churchwardens' Accounts to Oliver St John, who was recently dead 1570/1; and to his widow Eleanor, whose grave is referred to in 1574, when she was recently dead. I suggest the following pedigree; with the proviso that though I believe each individual fact to be correct, the piecing together of the facts may be completely wrong.
Sir John St John, of Lydiard Tregoze, Wilts, died 1 September 1512, leaving by his wife Jane Iwardby two sons: John St John, of Lydiard Tregoze, died 5 April 1576, and Oliver St John, of Lambeth, Surrey. Oliver St John, of Lambeth, was born about 1510, and buried at St Mary's, Lambeth, 19 April 1571. He married:
1. Anne. He was her second husband. She married first Stokes, by whom she had a daughter Elleyne Stokes, the wife of Thomas Edmondes of Southampton. baptized at St Margaret's, Westminster, 28 October 1548, and a daughter Mary Henbury, baptized there 18 February 1554, and maybe other children who occur in the registers. Joan married secondly, at St Margaret's, Westminster, 16 April 1554, Robert Smallewoode, gentleman, who was buried at St Margaret's, Westminster, 8 January 1559; by whom she had a daughter Wenefride Smallewoode, baptized at St Margaret's, Westminster, 6 August 1555, and a son John Smallewoode, baptized there 8 December 1556. Robert Smallewoode's son Robert Smallewoode was probably by a previous marriage, and his daughter Margaret Smallewoode certainly was, as she was already married to Mr Edward Norrys in 1558; Margaret Smallewoode, who was buried at St Margaret's, Westminster, 19 January 1552, was perhaps their mother.
2. Joan, at St Margaret's, Westminster, 3 July 1559. He was her third husband. She married first Henbury, probably William Henbury, who was buried at St Margaret's, Westminster, 31 August 1553; by whom she had a son William Henbury, By Oliver St John Joan was the mother of Oliver St John, baptized at St Margaret's, Westminster, 2 October 1560, who presumably died an infant; and of Oliver St John, baptized at St Mary's, Lambeth, 15 July 1561, and later described as 'the younger,' and 'Black Oliver.' John St John, buried at St Margaret's, Westminster, 24 September 1563, may have been another infant child. Joan, 'Maistresse Senion,' was buried at St Mary's, Lambeth, 29 October 1562.
3. Alice, at Croydon, 3 August 1563. He was her second husband. She married first William Heron, J. P., of Addiscombe, Surrey, who died s. p. 4 January 1563. There were, brasses to them, and also to his parents, in Croydon Church. By Oliver St John Alice was the mother of Honoria St John, baptized at St Mary's, Lambeth, 25 July 1566, and buried there 26 October 1566. Alice St John was buried at St Mary's, Lambeth, 19 August 1566.
4. Eleanor Burbage, at St Bartholomew the Less, 10 July 1567; a daughter of Thomas Burbage, of Hayes, Middlesex. He was her third husband; and an Anthony Burbage, probably her uncle, was a witness to his will. By Oliver St John Eleanor had a daughter Susan St John; possibly the Susan St John who was buried at St Margaret's, Westminster, 26 February 1621. Eleanor married first her cousin Henry Windsor, of Harting, Sussex, gentleman, at St Margaret's, Westminster, 20 January 1543, where he was buried 25 September 1553; secondly Hugh Partridge; and fourthly Bonetti Rocco. Bonetti Rocco is said to have been an Italian gentleman; a fencing master; a servant in the household of Robert, Earl of Leicester; and later a courier to the French agent in Scotland. Eleanor Rocco was recently dead in 1574, and buried at St Mary's, Lambeth.
It is curious that if the above account is correct Oliver St John had three wives with nine husbands between them, four legitimate children and one bastard, after he was fifty. How many further wives besides Anne Stokes may have been packed into his earlier life there is no telling.
Nicholas St John, eldest son of Oliver St John, presumably Oliver St John, the younger, of Lambeth, of Winchelsea, and of Marlborough, Wilts, was baptized at St Mary's, Lambeth, 15 July 1561. He married:
1. Margaret Love, at Wonston, Hants, 2 June 1588; the daughter and co-heiress of John Love, Mayor of Winchelsea. She was buried at St Mary the Virgin, Marlborough, 19 September 1606. They had three sons:
1. Nicholas St John, the eldest, who was of age 10 May 1608;
2. Sir Oliver St John;
3. John St John. These younger sons were still minors 5 May 1615, when their father was living at Marlborough and their mother was dead.
2. A lady described as 'Mrs St John, wife of Mr Oliver St John,' who was buried at St Mary the Virgin, Marlborough, 3 April 1608. She may well have been the Jane Nicholas whom Oliver St John, esquire, married at St Dunstan's in the West, London, 14 February 1607. In that case Jane Nicholas may have been his cousin Jane St John, widow of Robert Nicholas, of Manningford, Wilts, who died in 1602, and by whom she had a daughter Catherine Nicholas, wife of Sir Thomas Brodrick, of Wandsworth, Surrey.
Oliver St John, the younger, was probably 'Black' Oliver St John who, in April 1615, was sentenced in the Star Chamber to a fine of £5,000 and lifelong imprisonment for writing a letter to the Mayor of Marlborough, dissuading him and the inhabitants of that town from contributing to a benevolence. After making a full submission he was released, and had his fine remitted. It appears
from his trial that he was a member of Lincoln's Inn, and a leading inhabitant of Marlborough. He has been confused with his cousin and namesake the Chief Justice. He was not buried at Marlborough, and the date of his death is unknown.
Nicholas St John, eldest son of Oliver St John, presumably inherited the property at Winchelsea; and he may possibly be the Nicholas St John, of Lydiard Tregoze, who married 13 June 1614 Alice Goddard. If so, he was still alive in 1642 when he witnessed the will of his brother-in-law Vincent Goddard. Nicholas St John of Marlborough was assessed at £14 in the Wiltshire Commission (1630-1) for Composition of Knighthood. In 1639 Nicholas St John owned Watlands Farm in Rye Foreign, Sussex, which in 1668 belonged to his widow.

Will of Reverend Cornelius Winter, Minister of the Gospel of Painswick , Gloucestershire 16 February 1808 PROB 11/1475
Cornelius Winter arrived in Savannah in 1769 after he heard the inspirational preaching of Wesley in England. It was his goal to preach to the negroes, but his efforts were were met with little favor as was Wesley's efforts with the Indians.
Early in 1771, a Mr. Cornelius Winter who had accompanied George Whitefield to America arrived in England carrying Whitefield's will by which he had bequeathed to Lady Huntingdon the Orphan House in Georgia which catered for African negroes. The Countess immediately took a keen interest in this....
The Reverend Cornelius Winter, the minister from 1778-88, at Marlborough Congretational Church, Wiltshire re-organized the church on Congregational principles and also established a school to train young men for the ministry.

...In the middle of the chancel stood the large altar tomb of Richard Blount of Delaford, who was Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire in 1502 and died in 1508. This remained until the close of the eighteenth century, when it was taken down and the covering slab laid in the floor on the North side of the chancel. Inlaid in this piece of Purbeck marble are brasses of Richard, his wife Elizabeth (nee Ford), their three sons and three daughters.
There may have been a second tomb, possibly to Barnaby Blount and his wife, a drawing of which is held by the College of Arms.
