NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. n. SEPT. 23, 1910.

to her daughters Ursula and Margaret Stewkeley, and left to her " brother John Chamberlain 20Z. to buy him a bason and ewer of silver for his chamber." Ursula, apparently, became the wife of Henry St. John prior to her brother Thomas Stewkeley's purchase of the manor of Michelmersh (adjoining that of Farley) ; for Margaret Stewkeley, by her will dated Oct. 28, 1606, left " ten pounds apiece to Barbara and the two other daughters of my sister Ursula St. John."

At Wonston, where the family of William St. John spent much of their time at the manor of Norton, several Gores figure in the parish register. For instance, John Gore there married in 1587; and a Nicholas Gore, gentleman, was buried at Farley Chamberlayne in 1637. The latter's Christian name of Nicholas recalls the will of a Thomas Gore of Wallop (proved in 1570), who says that he was son of Nicholas Gore and brother of Richard. It would be in- teresting to learn if he was related to Barbara Gore (Mrs. William St. John), who was buried in Wonston Church on Jan. 3, 1613, " in the same grave with her sister Margaret, wife of Leonard Ely." But be that as it may. Barbara's descendant Ellis St. John was undoubtedly a great-great- great-great nephew of John Chamberlain, the Elizabethan gossip, who died in 1627.

Hampshire genealogists are much indebted to H. C. for pointing out that Sarah, widow of Ellis St. John (after 1729), remarried to a Capt. Francis Townsend, and will share his desire for further particulars as to his identity. In her will, dated Dec. 24, 1758, and proved in 1760 (P.C.C. 407 Lynch), she mentions her

" lands at Donnington in Gloucestershire, some- time the estate of George Townsend, Esq., deceased ; subject to 500Z. among the children of Rumney Diggle, Esq., deceased, late of Yateley."

Rumney Diggle, according to Foster's ' Oxford Graduates,' was son of Samuel London, gent., aged 16 in 1716, when he entered Jesus College, Oxford, and in 1720 was a barrister-at-law. In the cathedra: registers of Winchester is. the marriage oi " Rumney Diggle, Esq., of Yatley, and Mrs. Mary Coward of Winchester" on March 27, 1735.

I have been hoping to see a reply to my query as to the ancestry of Sir William, Viscount Ogle, the Royalist defender oi Winchester Castle in 1645. But, although I am still seeking that information, I think I have discovered who was the " Catherine Ogle " whom 1 mentioned, and that she was

not the daughter of Sir William Ogle, but of John Stewkeley of Mersh. Sir Hugh Stew- keley, 2nd Bart., in his will, proved July 28, 1719, left

"ten pounds per ann. to my cousins Cary Carolina and Isabella, daughters of my uncle John Stewke- ley, and to their sister Catherine Ogle."

In the burial register of Winchester Cathedral for Jan. 14, 1775, is the name of " Isabella Catharina, daughter of Chaloner Ogle, Esq., and Catherine his wife"; also on Aug. 1, 1780, that of " Isabella, daughter of Dr. Ogle, Dean." From the ' Landed Gentry' (1879), under Ogle of Kirkley Hall, Northumberland, it appears that the Rev. Newton Ogle, D.D., was Dean of Winchester (born 1726, died 1804), and married Susanna, eldest daughter of Dr. John Thomas, Bishop of Winchester; also that the Dean's brother, Chaloner Ogle, who married Hester, youngest daughter of Bishop Thomas, " adopted the naval profession," became an admiral, was " knighted for his gallant services, and was further rewarded by a Baronetcy on March 12, 1816." He died at his residence at Worthy, near Winchester, on Sept. 2, 1816, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle (born 1775).

It will be a great help to Hampshire genealogists if the identity of " Catherine Ogle," cousin of Sir Hugh Stewkeley, can be established, particularly since he was son of Sir Hugh Stewkeley (1st Bart.) of Michel- mersh and Hinton Ampner (Hants) by Sarah Daunt sey, who remarried Sir William, Viscount Ogle', before 1648. The latter's memorial in Michelmersh Church, where he was buried in July, 1682, apparently bears the Ogle arms a fesse between three crescents. F. H. S.

In Burke's ' Landed Gentry,' under Ogle of Kirkley Hall, co. Northumberland, there are references to the baronial line of Ogle (see Burke's ' Extinct Peerage '). Nathaniel Ogle, M.D., of Kirkley, Physician to the Forces under the Duke of Marlborough, had four sons, of whom the third, the Rev. Newton Ogle, D.D., was born 1726 ; Dean of Winchester 1769 till he died, Jan. 6, 1804 ; Deputy Clerk of the Closet to the King ; married Susannah, first daughter of Dr. John Thomas, Bishop of Winchester. It was their third daughter, Isabella, who died unmarried 1780. The Dean's youngest brother, Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle, K.B., was made a baronet 1816, and died the same year, having married Hester, youngest daughter and coheir of the said Bishop of Winchester.
