  Thomas D'Oyly, gent. (for he was a civilian and no soldier), eldest son and heir, succeeded his father at Eweden and Greenland House, but is sometimes described as of Great Marlow, co. Bucks, and was found to be his son and heir in 21 Hen. VII. (1505,) as appears by record.[249] He seems to have made agriculture his chief pursuit, and records are silent respecting him. It appears, however, he was a co-patron of Broughton living (near Banbury), co. Northampton,[250] and was undoubtedly that "Mr. Thomas D'Oyly, Gentylman," who owned lands at Goring, co, Oxon. and whose name is mixed up in the affairs of Goring monastery at the time of the Reformation.[251] He was twice married.

  Thomas D'Oyly survived his first wife, and, in or before 1527, 19 Hen. VIII.,[257] in conjunction with his son John, purchased the manor of Chislehampton in Dorchester hundred, co. Oxon., which eventually became the chief seat of the family. He married, secondly, Dame Alice Cotesmore, relict of Sir William Cotesmore, of Baldwyn Brightwell, co. Oxon. (to whom she had been second wife, and borne two sons, Thomas and George Cotesmore), and daughter of— Hall, of Oxenbridge, co. Wilts. Hall of Wilts bore "Sable, three poleaxes (or halberts) argent," Cotesmore, "Azure, an eagle with two necks displayed argent, on his breast an escutcheon gules, charged with a leopard's face or."[258] Thomas D'Oyly made his will as of "Hambleden, co. Bucks, gent." 8 June, 37 Henry VIII. 1545. He desires burial in or near St. Peter's aisle, in Hambleden church, if he die within twelve miles thereof, and makes pious bequests; mentions his lands in Hambleden, Stadhampton, and Chislehampton; leaves a sheep to each of his godchildren, and to Thomas D'Anvers (one of them) twenty sheep and a cow; bequeaths cattle and his wearing apparel to his servants; requests his executors to "take Alice, his wife, by the hand;" commands his son John to maintain a yearly obit in Hambleden church for the health of his soul, and threatens him with the judgment of God if he neglect to do so. he makes many other bequests (some of which have been elsewhere noticed), appoints his son John D'Oyly sole executor, and his son-in law D'Anvers, and cousin Sir John Williams, overseers, and concludes his will with a very pious flourish. He died in 1545, and his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury February 1545-6.[259] By Alice his second wife he left a sixth child and second son,
