Notes for Sir John St John Lord Beauchamp of Bletso
From the Collectanea Topographica, Harleian MS 1074: he had five daughters and one son. But on the other hand, see his will (in the wills section).
Note that other records don't show this gent having either an Oliver or an Alexander for sons...
And this may be the wrong Lord Morley, the first of whom married the daughter of this man's father, so was his uncle, a suitable dignity for a Supervisor to a will.
