Notes |
- Will of Edward Doyley of Saint Martin in the Fields, Middlesex Date 15 May 1675 Catalogue reference PROB 11/347
.....colonel in the army, second son, ... was born about 1618, and, being destined for the law, was educated in the inns of court, and subsequently held a civil appointment in Ireland. ...first served among the Royalists; but, being early in the war taken prisoner by the forces of the Parliament, he afterwards entered the service of the victorious party. Cromwell, however, suspicious of him, soon sent him out to Jamaica, under Sedgewicke; ....in Nov. 1655, ....After his return to England Colonel D'Oyly took up his abode in St. Martin's-in the-Fields, Westminster, and made his will there, March 1674.
He bequeaths to his godson Cholmley D'Oyly (eldest son of Sir John D'Oyly, of Chislehampton, Bart.) his great Bible, his plate, his pedigree, his picture, and his vellum map of the island of Jamaica; makes bequests to his sisters Roberts and Welles; mentions his nieces Roberts and Peake, and his brother-in-law Robert Whatton; and leaves legacies to old naval and military friends therein mentioned by name. He desires to be buried quietly in the parish where he dies, and bequeaths the residue of his property to his brother Oliver D'Oyly, whom he appoints his executor; desiring him to bestow upon such of their relations, not named in his will, as became necessary; "for," says the testator, he well knows what I have done for them, and who such are."
He died s.p. æt. about fifty-seven, within two months after, and his will was proved May 1675, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
