Theobald family
The Theobald family of Seale, Kent, was related by marriage to the Oxenden family in several generations.
Henry Oxenden ((1549-c.1620), the builder of the mansion house of Deane, Kent, took as his second wife Mary Theobald. Mary was the daughter of Richard Theobald (?-c.1570), a substantial gentleman of Seale, Kent and the manor of Sudulphs Place, Kent. He was secondary of the Queen's Remembrance. Although Henry and Mary Oxenden had no children, it appears that there was a relatively close relationship, and she was buried at Wingham in 1636, despite a second marriage to a Londoner.
The Theobald-Oxenden family relationship was consolidated by Catherine Theobald, a daughter of John Theobald, Richard Theobald's younger brother, marrying Laurence Piers, whose son, (Sir) Thomas Piers subsequently married Jane Oxenden, a granddaughter of Henry Oxenden.
A grandson of the earlier Richard Theobald had inherited the house of Stonepitts, which was originally in the hands of John the elder's elder brother, Richard Theobald. This younger John Theobald sold his house of Stonepitt, Seale, to (Sir) Thomas Piers, ca. 1640.
A further strong family link is provided by the marriage in 1570 of Ann, another daughter of Richard Theobald, to Thomas Nevinson. Thomas (?-1590) and Ann Nevinson (?-1594) of Eastry, Kent, were the parents of Margaret Nevinson, who married Sir James Oxenden in XXXX.
Sir George Theobald and William & Elizabeth Dallison's financial affairs
George Theobald (?-1662/63), later Sir George Theobald (knighted in 1638), was a further grandson of Richard Theobald. He was a first cousin to Margaret Oxenden (nee Nevinson). His father, John Theobald, and Anne Nevinson (nee Theobald), were siblings. George Theobald's relationship with the Oxenden family was probably relatively close. Published sources give his place of death as Deane, Kent.
It appears that Sir George Theobald assisted Sir James Oxenden, his cousin's husband, when Sir James Oxenden intervened to assist the troubled financial affairs of William and Elizabeth Dallison in 1639. See C 3/429/50 Stone v Dalison 1640-1642. The nature of the help is not yet clear, but seems to have involved some form of financial assistance.
Further financial help to Sir James Oxenden in the same matter appears to have come from Sir William Culpepper. The Culpepper family of Kent and Sussex may also have been related to the Theobald family.
