Biography

In the Richmond otherwise Webb Pedigree which was recorded in 1633^[1][2] he was noted as Edmond Richmond alias Webb of Rodborne, Wiltshire, son of Thomas Richmond alias Webb and Ann, daughter of Anthony Pulleyne of Rodborne [Rodbourne Cheney], Wiltshire. Edmond married Katherine, daughter of Nicholas St John Esq. of Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire.

Their children were:

• Oliver (eldest son)
• John (2nd son
• Richard (3rd son)
• Thomas (4th son)
• Sibbell
• Mary
• Elinor
• Lucy
• Ann

He was also recorded in the Visitation of Berkshire.^[3]

"In the church of Lydiard Tregoze is a monument to Sir Nicholas St. John with the shields of his daughters' husbands etc., among them the Richmond alias Webb cross and mullets".^[4]

"Edmond died intestate, but the will of his wife Katherine is famous for the amount of genealogical material it contains, Katherine had many children, who married into the Maskelyn, Blount, Nicholas and other old Wilts families. She died in 1635 at just about the same time as her eldest son Oliver who was once wounded in an affray in 1612, and left a fine collection of arms to his nephews. His brother, Colonel John was his heir and followed his uncle, Lord Grandison, to Ireland and acquired lands there. He was twice married and had quite a large family, but, dying in 1641, did not long survive his brother Oliver."^[4]

Inquisition Post Mortem 1621

His Inquisition Post Mortem was taken at Trowbridge, Wiltshire, on 25 Sept 19 James 1 (1621). It referred to his manor of Overraughton alias Wroughton which he had conveyed in 1613 to his son and heir, Oliver, and to Oliver's wife, Mary, daughter of Nicholas Fuller, Esq. deceased. It noted Edmund's sons Richard Webb als Richmond, John Webb als Richmond gent, and Thomas Webb als Richmond. It also referred to Edmund's lands in Rodbourne Cheney, Haydon, Haydon Weeke and Moorden, which after his death were to pass to his wife Katherine for her life and after her death to his sons. Edmund had died on 26 March 17 James 1 (1619?) at Rodbourne Cheney, Wiltshire, and his son and heir Oliver Webbe was 38 years and upwards at time of his father's death and that his wife Katherine survived him and lived at Rodbourne Cheney. It also referred to Edmund as the son of Thomas Webb and grandson of William Webb.^[5][6]

An Edmund Webbe was buried on 22 March 1621 [assumed to be 22 Mar 1620/1621] at Rodbourne Cheney, Wiltshire.^[7] Perhaps the death date in the IPM Transcript is incorrect.

Research Notes

In 1626 there was a dispute between a Richard Richmond and Sir John St John.^[8] A petition (1626) to the Lord Chancellor and the Privy Council against Sir John St. John concerning his alleged oppression of Richard Richmond of Chaddington. Richard was a brother of Toby Richmond, freeholder of Chaddington: they were sons of John Richmond of Chaddington and his wife Susan, who was a daughter of William and Agnes Pleydell of Midgehall.
