| Notes |
- "History of Wiltshire":
"From Thomas the estate of Roundway also possibly passed to Robert, one time Baron of the Exchequer and great-grandson of Edward of Manningford, who died in 1667 owning Roundway. The estate Roundway passed out of the family for two generations at Robert's death and was bought in 1705 by another Robert, a descendant of a younger brother. From this Robert the land passed to Edward the eldest son (of his second wife Jane Child), who married into the Richmond family. Their son Edward Richmond Nicholas, M.B., died 1770: a survey made before his death, possibly in 1753, shows his holdings scattered about the tithing in the open fields, in the village and in what is now Roundway Park. ...the Nicholas holdings passed by sale some time after 1770 when Edward Richmond had been succeeded in the Roundway estate by his son Robert, M.P. for Cricklade in 1784."
Also the Will of Edward Richmond Nicholas, Apothacary of Devizes, proved 1770-refer to Annes Neates pedigree eg Nicholas the Aporthacary?
Had two sons Robert and John.

....Robert Nicholas, counsel on Colonel Penruddocke's trial, and afterwards Baron of the Exchequer, died owner of Ryndway in 1670. He left no son surviving. One of his daughters married Thomas Hulbert of Corsham: and their daughter Elizabeth marrying Brereton Boucher, Esq, of Barnesly, Co. Gloucester, carried the estate into that family. But in 1705 it was re-purchased by Robert Nicholas, Esq., Recorder of Devizes, descended from a younger brother of Robert the Baron of the Exchequer above mentioned. John Nicholas, the Baron's nephew, was Fellow of All Souls College Oxford in 1674. In 1706 Edward Nicholas of Manningford Braose held the manor of Potterne under the See.
Robert Nicholas, Esq., the first Recorder of Devizes under Charles I.'s charter, was born at Ryndway 2nd March 1661 : was entered of Balliol College Oxford, and then of the Inner Temple. He married Jane only daughter of Mr. John Child, M.P. for Devizes, brother to Sir Francis Child the first banker. The Recorder died 7th January 1725, aged 64. The name of Edward Richmond Nicholas his grandson is found among the juvenile authors of the Musce Etonenses. He left Eton as Captain of the Commoners, and took a degree in Civil Law and Physic at Queen's College, Oxford. He died 1770. His son Robert Nicholas, Esq., M.P. for Cricklade (by petition) in 1784, was of Ashton Keynes, (where his grandfather Edward had married the daughter of Oliffe Richmond). He sold the Roundway estate about 1790 to Mr. Willy, M.P. for Devizes.
