The marriages of the daughters of John and Martha Calley, and 

 the marriage and issue of his disinherited son Christopher ( — Mr. 

 Mullings' only note respecting him is " Christopher Calley of 

 Hilmarton, gentleman, 1st year of James 1st." — ) are given in the 

 additions to the Yisitation of 1565 as printed above. The heir, 

 Eoger Calley, is stated in the Yisitation of 1623 to have been then 

 (1623) aged 36 years and unmarried, an understatement, apparently, 

 of his age by four years. He married not long after this date 

 Agnes, daughter of George Savage of Bloxford, or Bloxworth, co.

 dated 4th Nov., 1680), at Clyffe Pypard :—

marriage was without the consent of her parents, though no reason 



for such disapproval appears. 2 Ten years, however, elapsed before 



the paternal estate was assured to her by the following settlement, 



which incidentally gives the complete history of the acquisition by 



the Calley family of the parsonage of Hilmarton, and indeed of the 



property from the time of the dissolution of Bisham Abbey : —
