170 The Society’s MSS. Chiseldon, &c. 
Ursula Walsingham, widow of Sir Francis Walsingham. From 
his ‘answer,’ dated 1 May, 1592, it appears that he, ‘“ Michaell 
Cawley,” was resident in the parish of ‘“ Chilton ffollyett,” and 
that one John Merivale had “aboute two yeres past demysed ”’ to 
him a messuage and land at Soley in that parish, for twenty-one 
years. Dame Ursula, it may be added, denied Merivale’s title, 
and claimed the fee under a bargain and sale to her late husband. 
No resident in that parish, or indeed in that neighbourhood, 
could avoid coming into collision with the squire of Littlecot, and 
accordingly we find William Darell paying ‘“‘ Mr. Collyer for the 
fine for Hunt’s Suit 7. Cawley, 16s. 8d.’ and to the “Sheriff of 
Wilts, for returning the attachment v. Cowley and Hunt, 12d.” 
Also there is a letter to Darell from Anthony Hinton, of Wan- 
borough, received 16 January, 1588-9, beginning ‘“‘ Worshipfull, 
Understanding you have displeasure against me . . . grounding 
your quarell upon certen wordes which Mr. Cawlye as you sayd 
spake unto you . . . ” with the certificate enclosed, ‘“‘ Whereas 
Mr. William Darell reporteth that I Michaell Cawley have sayed 
unto him that my Cosen Anthony Hinton was . . . ” (Hubert 
Hall’s “Society in the Elizabethan Age,” pp, 208, 209, 267.) 
Another note by Mr. Richard Mullings, of a document dated 
1606, 4th of King James, but which more probably may be referred 
to the 14th year of that king, mentions a Richard Calley, presumably 
the son of Michael :— 
Grant to Thomas Calley, Richard Calley and William Calley, son of William | 
Calley of London, of lands at Highway. The house of William Calley of 
London was then [1606 sic| situate in the Augustine Friars, in the ward of 
Broad Street. , 
If the above note is referable to the year 1606, William Calley 
the younger, afterwards of Burderop, could not very well be the 
person intended, for he was, in 1606, nine years old at most, while 
Richard, son of Michael was then aged only eighteen. 
It is certain, moreover, that there was another Richard Calley in 
existence, for in the “‘ Analytical Index ”’ to the “‘ Remembrancia ” 
the following passage occurs :—
