John Toppe(V) succeeded his father at Stockton. He had matriculated, December 11th, 1612, at Hart Hall, Oxford, as "Wilts gen. aged 16," and was admitted B.A., June 22nd, 1615, from " Hart Hall, arm fil' n. m." .. He was "of Lincoln's Inn, set. 26" in 1623.
He married Elizabeth, daughter and coheiress of Sir Thomas Hamon, of Brasted, Co. Kent, Knight... John Toppe's will, dated December 10th, 1638, was proved by Edward Toppe, his brother and executor, March 13th, 1639-40.
Will of John Toppe:
He desires to be buried in the churchyard of Stockton, and not in the Church: he gives £20 for communion plate: £1000 for some charitable use in Co. Wilts, or at Oxford University, at the discretion of his dear friends. ... his uncle, William Lavington, Esq., counsellor-at-law, and Alexander Toppe, his uncle ... Testator's poor kindred were to be first regarded, then men of Wiltshire, particularly of Stockton and Codford St. Mary. .. certain lands were to go with the entailed property to his brother, John, and the residue to his brother, Edward.
Richard Smith records his death in his "obituary'(Camden Soc), March 13th, 1639-40. " Mr Topp, who married Mts Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Hamond, died. He gave a legacie to my brother Walter."
The inquisition on his death was taken 18th August, 16 Charles, at Salisbury, whereby it was found that he had died March 13th last past before the date of the inquisition, that Elizabeth, his wife, survived him, and that John Toppe was his brother and next heir, aged, at the time of the death of the deceased, thirty eight years and more. ...[Chancery, I.P.M., Miscellaneous, Elizabeth to Charles II,, 29th Part. No. 23.]
