General Notes

Ursula D'Oyly, baptized at Stadhampton, Feb. 1635, seven days after the funeral of her great grandmother and namesake, Mrs. Ursula D'Oyly. She was remarkable for her religion and piety, and lived a single life; residing latterly in London, where she made her will April 1691. She leaves to her sisters Norton, Saunders, and Owen, and to her brother, Sir John D'Oyly, each a watch, to have carved or enamelled on it a representation of Time. She makes various bequests, and mentions her nieces Mary, Martha, and Fiducia Norton, as well as the D'Oylys; leaves a book of Dr. Owen's to her nephew Goddard, and other books to her kinsman D'Oyly Welles. She gives minute directions respecting her funeral; requests the permission of her sister (in law) Owen, to be buried in Dr. Owen's vault; names the persons who are "to lay her out," and seven clergymen who are to attend her funeral. She appoints Mrs. Triphena Lloyd, of London (with whom she was then resident), executrix; and dying, æt. 56, unmarried, her will was proved June 1691, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
