THE MONUMENTS AND REGISTERS OF LOCAL CHURCHES. 267 
of Mr. Nicholas and Mrs. Susan Opey, and she was baptised at 
St. Andrew’s, Plymouth, 4th July, 1641. They were married at 
Rame, 4th June, 1662, as John Battersby, Esq., and Mrs. Grace 
Opie, as appears by the Register. Colonel Vivian only names four 
children (Visitation of Cornwall, p. 21)—viz., Nicholas, George, 
Elizabeth, Sarah—but there must have been another, as we find 
the burial of Susanna, daughter of Mr. John Battersby, recorded 
14th January, 1663. Her baptism is wanting; but that of 
Nicholas is entered 20th February, 1666; and Sarah, 17th 
September, 1668. The baptism of Elizabeth is also wanting, 
but her marriage, on the 4th July, 1689, as Thomas Johns and 
Mrs. Elizabeth Battersby, remains. This marriage and the dates 
from the Registers are not given in Colonel Vivian’s pedigree, nor 
are the following, from the same source: viz., Christopher, son of 
Mr. William Battersby and Mary his wife, baptised 2nd January, 
1665; Isaak, son of Mr. William Battersby and Mary his wife, 
baptised 11th February, 1669. This William was a brother of 
John Battersby above, and is mentioned, but without his wife or 
sons, in the pedigree referred to. John Munyon and Annie 
Battersby married 6th July, 1670. This Annie was probably a 
sister of the above John Battersby. 
The next mural monuments in point of age and importance are 
two in the north transept commemorating Roger Ashton, D.D., 
and his children; the latter is the oldest and largest, and is of 
black and white marble, with 
the arms of Ashton and 
Warren ; viz.: Arg. a mullet 
sa.: imp. Arg. betw. two bars 
componee or and az. three 
mascles sa., on a canton of the 
Fourth as many coronets of the 
second, within a bord. gu. 
bezantée. The inscription is: 
Heare Lye the Body of Mary and 
Anne daughters of Roger Ashton 
Doctor of Divinity and Margaret his 
wife who died in the yeeres 1664 
and 1667, also a son of theirs 
Departed this Life the same hour 
it began to live 1666.
