  ************************
  Robert D'Oyly, Esq. third son of Sir Cope D'Oyly of Greenland House, co. Bucks,[408] (by his wife Martha, sister of Sir Robert Quarles,) was baptised at Stadhampton, co. Oxon. Jan, 1607-8, and had his portion of 1,000l. given to him by his father during his life-time, who therefore left him nothing more at his death, in 1633. In 1634 the Oxfordshire Visitation describes Robert D'Oyly as "Citizen of London;" but he was a restless unsettled character, and after squabbling with his brother Francis's widow regarding his said brother's effects, and engaging in a Chancery suit against her in 1644,[409] at last risked his fortunes in the great Rebellion, and entered the army as an officer under Cromwell, who, on his exaltation to the protectorate, sent Robert D'Oyly off to Ireland, and made him one of his commissioners in that kingdom;[410] and in 1652 we find Robert D'Oyly a member of the "High Court of Justice," as it was called, then sitting at Dublin.[411] In 1653 this Robert D'Oyly appears as a party to the family settlement of his elder brother John D'Oyly, Esq. of Chislehampton, and is recorded to have been living down to 1677; but the year of his death, and whether he left a will, are both unknown. He married, however, Jane Webster, sister of Mrs, Henry Ludlow (ancestrix of the Earls Ludlow, and sister-in-law of the celebrated Parliamentary General, Edmund Ludlow), and daughter of William Webster, Esq. of Newton Drangan alias Dranganmore, co. Tipperary. in Ireland, but an Englishman by birth (Webster of Ireland bore, "Argent, a thistle vert, flowered gules"), by Jane his wife, daughter of Ralph Rolleston (whose family settled in Ireland, and founded Rolleston of Franckfort Castle in King's County), son of Ralph Rolleston, Esq. of Rolleston, co.
