Of Michael Calley, the eldest son, very little appears to be known. 

 By certain extracts from the parish register of Chilton Foliat, co. 

 Wilts, printed in Nichols' " Topographer and Genealogist," vol. iii., 

 p. 580, it appears that he had settled in that parish, the following 

 of his children having been christened there : — 



Baptisms. 



1588. November 17. Eichard son of Michael Cauley. 

 1590. Mar. 28. Susanna daur. of Michael Cauley generos. 

 1593. Oct. 1. Mary dr. of Michael Cauley. 



Of these children, Susannah and Mary are mentioned in their 

 grandmother's will (16.18) above, and another son, Ralph, whose 

 issue male, if any, would have become on the failure of such issue 

 to the family of Hilmarton, heirs male of the race ; for Richard 

 Calley his son, baptized as above, but who is not mentioned in the 

 grandmother's will, though then living, died very shortly after the 

 date of that will, apparently unmarried ; there is, at any rate, a 

 grant of administration : — 



. 1619. October 15, Richard Calley of St. Olave's, Southwark, to Michael 

 Calley, the father. 



These letters of administration were known to Mr. Richard 

 Mullings, who has a note . — 



1619. Michael Calley of Hilmarton, gentleman, administrator of Eichard 

 Calley son of Michael Calley of London, then deceased (sic). 



Another note, apparently from some legal instrument, runs : — 



1613. Michael Calley of London, gentleman brother of William Calley, 

 citizen and draper of London, and father of Eichard Calley of the parish of 

 St. Olave in the borough of Southwark. 



If all these notes are accurate, Michael Calley would seem to have 

 been of a somewhat migratory habit ; but that he was for some time 

 settled at Chilton is clear, not only from the baptisms of his 

 children there, but from a Chancery suit instituted against him
