Edward St. Barbe, 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 wilb 

 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 

 Ashington, in Somerset, and of Broadlands, in Hants, attended the 

 inauguration of the Protector Oliver, and with his son sat in Par- 

 liament for the County of Hants ; though John, another of his 

 sons, was made a baronet by Charles II. 



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

 petitioned to claim an annuity of £30, issuing out of the manors of

1 £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. 



William Seymour, Marquis of Hertford. His delinquency lay 

 I 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 

 J of that city, but took neither the National Covenant nor the Negative 

 j Oath. By the report first made to the House, his actual income 

 was estimated at £3347, his reversionary income after one life, 

 £1229, and his personal estate as worth £690, against which had
