| Notes |
- Will of Sir William Garrard of Dorney, Buckinghamshire 24 December 1607 PROB 11/110
Sir William Garrard held Dorney (fn.44) until his death in 1607,(fn.45) having settled it on his wife Elizabeth for life with reversion to their son and heir Thomas. (fn. 46) Arrangements were made in 1609 whereby Elizabeth Garrard gave up her manorial rights in return for a fixed payment,100 loads of wood and the use of the manor-house. (fn.47) Thomas Garrard had married Dorothy daughter of Sir William Clarke of Hitcham(q.v.), against the wish of his father, who by his will forgave his son's 'unkind disobedience' and says that his wife will reward Thomas and Dorothy if they alter their 'untaymed courses of undutifull cariage' towards her. (fn.48) Thomas Garrard had occasion to regret his obstinacy. (fn.49) The father and daughter combined to thrust him out of his inheritance, ... his wife sent him a message 'that if he lay in the streets and starved, he should not have a groat for his releife of her.' In 1616 Thomas Garrard brought an action to recover the estate and to prevent the further waste and destruction of the woods, and stated that he was willing to receive his wife, though she had led 'a kind of eloped life' for six years. (fn.50) Their family troubles were doubtless the cause of the sale of Dorney by Thomas Garrard and his brothers in 1624 to Thomas and Richard Palmer, (fn. 51) who appear to have been acting as trustees for James Palmer, (fn. 52) third son of Sir Thomas Palmer, bart., of Wingham (fn. 53)and brother-in-law of the Garrards. (fn. 54)
