Epwarp Sv. Barss, of the Close, Salisbury (descended from that 
branch of the family which had obtained St. Edmund’s College 
through Wolsey’s influence), was so ardent a Royalist that, by will, 
he interdicted the marriage of his son with the daughter of his 
neighbour, Giles Eyre, of Brickworth, and left Cowsfield Loveries 
to him only on that condition. The families nevertheless subse- 
quently united. But, like many others, the St. Barbes were a 
divided family, John St. Barbe, of Alderton, in Whiteparish, of

In 1652 Anne, widow of Edward St. Barbe, of Whiteparish,

£21, but he prayed for a saving to compound for other lands in 
Pirton, so soon as he should by suit in Chancery recover them from 
Mr. Neville Maskelyne, who was now in possession, Fine at a 
sixth, £63. 29th June, 1651. 
Witriam Snymovur, Marquis of Hertford. His delinquency lay 
in the fact that, being a peer, he deserted his place in Parliament 
and went to Oxford. He rendered upon the articles of the surrender 
‘of that city, but took neither the National Covenant nor the Negative 
Oath. By the report first made to the House, his actual income
