In the Obituary itself it is disappointing to find no Calleys ; but 

 we have : —

A note by Mr. Eichard Mullings mentions that John Galley 

 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 Eeturn of 

 Parish Registers of 1831, in 1645, while no memorial of John 

 Oalley 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 

 diminished. Lands at Olevancy 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 — 

 according to the dates given in Visitation of Wilts in 1623 — eight 

 or — according to the dates on his tombstone, twelve years. The
