      • John D'Oyly, Gent. brother of Sir Cope D'Oyly of Greenland House, Bucks, Knt. and second son of John D'Oyly, esq. of Chislehampton (by his wife Ursula, sister of Sir Anthony Cope of Hanwell, Bart.)[446] was baptized at Stadhampton, co. Oxon., March 1575; and by indenture dated Oct. 2nd James I. (1604) had a settlement made on him by his father of the reversion, after Lady Periam's death, of Turville manor, co. Bucks[447] Finding, however, a profession to be necessary, this John D'Oyly was admitted a member of Gray's Inn in 1605;[448] and thus residing in London the following year, his marriage was solemnized at St. Dunstan's in the West, London (by licence of the Faculties), 11th Feb. 1606;[449] his wife being Lucy, sister of Sir Oliver Nicholas of Westminster, Knt. sometime cupbearer to King James I., and eldest child and daughter of Robert Nicholas, Esq.[450] of Manningford, co. Wilts, by Jane his wife, daughter of Nicholas St. John, Esq. of Lydiard Tregoze, also in Wilts, (grandson of John St. John, first cousin to King Henry VII.), sister of Oliver St. John, Viscount Grandison, and Lord Deputy of Ireland, and of Elizabeth, wife of Sir Richard St. George, Clarencieux King of Arms, and descended from the Beauchamps, Scroopes, Carews, and Blounts, &c. The arms of Nicholas were, "Argent, on a chevron between three ravens sable, two lions combatant of the first."[451]-In consequence of his marriage, John D'Oyly removed into Wiltshire, and. resided chiefly at Albourne in that county, some time, however, at Marlborough; and being desirous of making a settlement on his wife, and his possible issue by her, he executed an indenture dated in Feb. 1606, 4th James I. a short time prior to his nuptials, whereby he covenanted with her mother, then a widow, her brother Oliver Nicholas, and Oliver St. John, Esq., to stand seised of Turville manor to his heirs in strict tail male. Afterwards, however, in 7th James I. (1609), he settled a jointure of 80l. per annum on his wife, and purchased the lease of an estate at Remenham, co. Berks, for the term of 99 years (if his wife and daughters, Martha and Deborah, should so long live,) to secure it to her; and in 10 James I. assigned over the said lease to Oliver Nicholas and others in trust, in consideration of their releasing the previous settlement of Turville; which being complied with, be soon after sold Turville to Edward Goddard, Esq., Sir Thomas Hinton, and Thomas Goddard, Esq. - They disposed of it to Robert D'Oyly of Hambleden in Dec. 1621; which Robert, in 1622, filed a bill in Chancery against this John D'Oyly of Albourne, touching the writings and evidences relating to the estate.[452]-In 1638 John D'Oyly resided at Marlborough, and had a Chancery suit with Sir John Miller and Sydenham Lukins, a scrivener, respecting a sum of 100l. which D'Oyly had borrowed about May 1633, of William Child of London, scrivener, whose representatives they were.[453] John D'Oyly was alive in 1639, and by Lucy Nicholas had issue,[454]
