This money was presently delivered to the Lord Hay . . . Our good friend was promised to have had Sir John Holies for his prize, but the present necessity would not permit it . . . Eversham came to hiui from the L. Treasurer to assure him he should have £5,000 the next day, and for the other five he engaged his honour upon the making of the next Baron wdiomsoever" [J. Chamberlain to Sir D. Carleton, 20 July 1616J. See vol. ii, p. 272, note "b." ml) " Clare," as to the Barony of Haughton granted at this same date. The fond tradition that the Teynham peerage was granted by the protestant James I out of regard to the da. of the " popish " L. Chancellor More having married the uncle [ !] of the grantee is practically disproved by the fact that the Ropers of Eltham, who were lineal descendants of that match and who were then (and till their extinction in 1724) of considerable position in that county, were obviously the proper persons (if any such regard existed) to be so honoured. (a) At that date it appears from the city of Lincoln records that £10 was dealt with, which had been left to the poor of St. Peter's, Fastgnte, by " Lady Hooper." ( b ) He possibly was the "John Roper, co. Kent," kniyhted at Windsor, 9 July 1603, tho' he would be but 12 at that date. It certainly was not bis grandfather, who occurs ns a Knight in many deeds long anterior, and there seems no other "John Roper " but this boy, existing at this period. ( c ) A good pedigree of this family (not the historic one) of Knollys by B. IV. Greenfield, is in the "Hampshire Field Club Papers," circa 1895 96.
