named in his father's will with children
Nicholas matriculated at St. John's College, Oxford, 27th June, 1645, as son of Arthur, of Swindon, co. Wilts, gent., aged 16, and was fellow on that foundation, 1648, and proceeded B.C.L., 3rd June, 1652. He refused submission, in 1648, to the Puritan visitation of the university, and was ordered to be expelled. Subsequently he must have recognized the authority of the visitors, for in 1652 he was still on the foundation. He settled in Oxford, and his will, proved 14th January, 1701-2, is both in the Chancellor's Court there, and in the Prerogative Court in London (not examined)
