In 'Testamenta Vetusta' Nicolas, London 1826, there is the following transcription of the will of Sir John St.John:
'John St.John, of the parish of Bletnesho, Knight, 22nd March 1524. My body to be buried in the Chapel of St. Edmund, in the north side of the church of our Lady St.Mary of Bletnesho aforesaid. To Oliver, my son, all my lands in Sharnebrok, Milton, and Risley, in Bedfordshire; to Alexander, my son, my lands about Bedford. And I constitute John St.John, Sir William Gasken, Knt. and Oliver and Alexander St.John, my sons, my executors; and my Lord Morley, my supervisor.'
There is a footnote that identifies the testator as 'Grandfather of Oliver first Baron St.John of Bletsho. He was Knight of the Bath 17 Henry VII.'
Another footnote identifies Lord Morley as 'His son-in-law, having married his eldest daughter Alice.' [Ref: Mike Gallafent SGM 1/18/1999]
