Wilts Obituary. 245 
Nov. 19th, 1851. Mrs. Goddard died Feb. 21st, 1849. He married 
(secondly), 1852, Eliza Agnes, d. of William Walford, of Sibford, Co. 
Oxon, and widow of John Whippy. She died 1890. By her he 
had a daughter, Frances Agnes, who survives him, married to Captain 
William Wilson, R.N., of Over Worton, Oxon. He was J.P. for Oxon 
and Wilts, and D.L. for Wilts. High Sheriff of Wilts, 1860. A Major 
in the Wilts Militia when it was quartered at Portsmouth during the 
Crimean War. In politics he was a staunch Conservative, in faith an 
earnest Churchman of the old school. He qualified as a justice in 1830 
at Wokingham, then belonging to the County of Wilts, and in the winter 
_ following took an active part in putting down the machine-breaking riots 
which broke out violently in North Wilts. From that time for sixty 
years he took a leading part in the public business of the county, for 
which he was peculiarly well fitted by his great knowledge of all country 
and county matters. Few country gentlemen have such a knowledge of 
the details of farming as he had. He was a man of many interests and 
much information. Few men were better known twenty-five years ago 
in the county, and no one ever had a wider knowledge of men and things 
in Wiltshire. He was an original member of our Society. He retained 
his faculties of body and mind in a wonderful way to the last. He 
remembered as a boy hearing the news of the entry of the allied sovereigns 
into Paris in 1814 being read in the streets of Chippenham. He danced 
on the lawn at Clyffe at the Jubilee of George III., and at that of Queen 
Victoria. His memory was marvellously accurate and tenacious. His 
humour was delightful. His singular courtesy to all who came in contact 
with him, whatever their rank in life might be, his kindliness and con- 
sideration for others, endeared him to all who knew him. Few have 
been more justly respected and beloved. By his death the Clyffe Pypard 
property, which has descended from father to son without break since 
1545, devolves on his daughter, Mrs. Wilson, and the family name comes 
to an end.
