In the Obituary itself it is disappointing to find no Calleys;. but 
we have :— 
1637 Dec.23 My uncle Edward Smith died. 
— 1651 July 25 My Aunt Jodrell, buried at Shillingstone, in Dorsetshire. 
A note by Mr. Richard Mullings mentions that John Calley 
died in 1595 and was buried in the chancel of Hilmarton. This 
may only be an inference from his will, dated 19th April, 1595, in 
which he desires to be there buried. The will, however, was not 
proved till 14th May, 1598. The parish registers of Hilmarton, 
as they at present exist, only begin, according to the Return of 
Pa ish Registers of 1831, in 1649, while no memorial of John 
Calley is now to be found in the Church, and it is not possible, 
accordingly, to decide the point. From the will, which is appended, 
it would appear that the paternal inheritance had been considerably 
dim inished. Lands at Clevancy and Stanton Quintin only are 
mentioned, and the “ Parsonage” of Hilmarton. The testator 
speaks of “the place I served,” and from the context it is clear 
that a legal post is referred to. But the leading feature of the 
document, which was holograph, is the disherison of his eldest son> 
a lad under 21, “in regard of his many and fowle misdemeanours 
committed against me his Father theis two or three years last past,” . 
in favour of his younger son “his loving son Roger,” then aged— 
acoording to the dates given in Visitation of Wilts in 1623—eight 
—according to the dates on his tombstone, twelve years. The
