104. Notes from the Register Books of the Parish of Preshute 
against whom, at the Michaelmas County Quarter Sessions held at 
Marlborough 5th October 11th James I. a writ of venire facias was 
ordered 
“pro illicit’ venationi in parco praenobilis Edwardi Comitis Hertford vocato 
Savernacke Parke, existente parco impalato . . . . et illicitaé captioni 
occisioni et asportationi unius damae Anglice a Bucke cum quodam cani

For some account of unlawful deer killing by persons of a better 
class than the ordinary poacher see Canon Jackson’s article on 
Cranborne Chase in Wilts Arch. Mag., vol. xxii., p. 148. 
He was succeeded by his son Jeffry Daniell baptised 29th June, 
1626, buried 25th April, 1681. 
Jeffry Daniell was M.P. for Marlborough from 1660 to 1679. 
He left a son, William, baptised 29th January, 1664-5, and buried 
3rd May, 1698, who was M.P. for Marlborough from 1696 to 1698.

Waylen (Hist. of Marib., p. 500) says that Jeffrey Daniell had a 
daughter named Rachel who on the death in 1698 of William Daniell 
without issue inherited the family estates. The birth and baptism 
of this Rachel are not recorded in the register. She married 
Thomas Fettiplace, of Fernham, Berks, and her son, Daniel
