  ****************************************
  Sir John D'Oyly of Chislehampton, Bart., eldest surviving son and heir, was twice married: first v.p. by licence granted January 1694-5, at the Vicar General's Office, Doctors' Commons, to his maternal first cousin, Susannah, youngest daughter of Sir Thomas Putt of Combe, co. Devon, Bart. (by Ursula his wife, daughter and coheir of Sir Richard Cholmley, Knt, before mentioned, maid of honour to Catharine consort of Charles II.), and eventually coheiress in blood, though not to the estates, of her only brother Sir Thomas Putt, Bart. who died s.p. in 1721. The Putts sprang from John Putt of Bury Pomeroy, co. Devon, living temp. Hen. VIII., and had matched with a daughter of Sir Thomas Pomeroy of that place, but purchased Combe in Gittisham, co. Devon, from Sir H. Beaumont in l615. Lady D'Oyly's father founded a charity school at Gittisham, and was a great benefactor to that parish; and, of her two sisters, Margaret the elder married Robert Dillon, sixth Earl of Roscommon.[379] The Putts bore, ''Argent, a lion rampant within a mascle sable." After being thrown into the litigation which arose after his brother Cholmley's death, and his succession to the baronetcy, in 1709, at his father's decease, Sir John D'Oyly contested the parliamentary representation of Abingdon, co. Berks, in 1722; but was not elected; though he twice petitioned Parliament on the subject, viz. in 1722 and 1724.[380] In Aug. 1722 his lady died, and was interred at Stadhampton; having survived her brother only one year; and before 1727[381] Sir John D'Oyly married secondly Mrs. Rebeccah Carter of Oxford, one of the daughter-coheirs (of whom another married the Rev. Benjamin Rudge, brother of John Rudge, Esq. M.P. for Evesham)[382] of Goddard Carter, Esq. of Alvescot, co, Oxon. But by her Sir John D'Oyly had no issue; and dying Nov 1746 was buried at Stadhampton. This Sir John D'Oyly possessed in 1727 and 1741 a very fine pedigree of the D'Oyly family, from which the account given in Wotton's Baronetage was abstracted. By his first wife, his cousin Putt, he had issue (like his father) 12 children,
