Notes for Alexander St John
Ed Mann has him as the son of John St John and Sybil ap Morgan.
Of Thurleigh and the youngest of 3 brothers: John of Bedfordshire and Oliver of Sharnbrook. This is looks incorrect by the will of Sir John St John, quoted in that gent's notes...
TFPL: Oct 2003: Hunts Visitation or 1613 confirms his parentage.
In his father's will he, "Alex", was an executor and was left lands and pastures lying about Bedford with their appurtenances to the sum of 5 marks and moveable goods to the sum of £20 plus his share of the residue.
In Noble's "House of Cromwell", Vol II, p. 14, he writes:
"Alexander, the third son of sir John St John, knt (the ancestor of various peers of this family) was seated at Thorley in herts; he was the father of Henry, whose son, Olvicer St John of Cayshoe, in Bedfordshire, knt, was returned a member for his county in the parliaments held in the 12th and 21st years of the reign of k. Ja. I. and for the two held in the first year of k. Ch. I.; this Oliver had two sons, Oliver, whose life I am going to give and John, who left no child, and a daughter, named Elizabeth."
Further Noble quotes the admission of the gt-grandson Oliver to Lincoln's Inn: "Oliverus St John Filius er Haeres apparens Oliveri, St John de Cayshoe Com. Bedford Admissus est in societatem istius Hospitii--22die Aprilis Anne Reg. Regis Jacobi 17..."
