| A progenitor of this family is reputed to have come into England at the time of the Norman Conquest and to have obtained lands in/around Somerset. However, VCH (Gloucestershire, vol 11, Bisley & Longtree Hundreds, Minchinhampton) reports one manor that was "anciently called the manor of SEINCKLEY or SEYNTCLEY, a name later corrupted to St. Loe or St. Chloe" so it is not certain that all families of this name were related.

| Sir Nicholas St. Loe (d 03.06.1487) | |||||||||||||||
| We have seen on a web site the suggestion that Sutton Manor came into the St. Loe family through the marriage of a Sir John St. Loe (a 1428) to Eleanor, dau of Sir Thomas Arundell of Wardour Castle by Catherine, dau/coheir of John Chydiock. That identification appears to be wrong (because it was a Sir John Arundell who married Catherine Chydiock and because Wardour Castle did not (we think) go into the Arundell family until a later generation). However, the Arundell records do show a marriage with this family a generation later, being by ... | |||||||||||||||

| a. | (Sir) William St. Loe 'of Tormarton' (d 1599) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation just mentions William, notes that he was "filius pimogenitus" (eldest son), and reports that he dsp. HOWEVER, it appears that this was the wealthy Sir William St. Loe of Tormarton (etc.), Captain of the Guard and Grand Butler of England for Queen Elizabeth I, who married as follows: | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Jane Bayntun (dau of Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham) mentioned on various web sites | |||||||||||||||
| (1)+ | 2 daughters | ||||||||||||||
| m2. ?? | |||||||||||||||
| m3. (1559) Elizabeth Hardwick of Hardwick Hall, "Building Bess of Hardwicke" (b 1521, d 13.02.1607/8) | |||||||||||||||
| b. | Edward St. Loe of Knighton (Broad Chalke, Wiltshire), later of Sutton Court in Chew (bur 06.05.1578) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation shows Edward as married to a Margaret (d before 02.02.1592/3), showing her as mother of John. A web site - previously here (under Margaret Scutt), checked 14.11.20 but apparently no longer available - provided a story about alleged evil doings by this Edward and mentioned his marriages to Bridget Malte and Margaret Scutt (his step-daughter) but, whilst mentioning that Bridget was pregnant at the time of their marriage, said nothing about what happened to any offspring. That site also mentioned that Edward & Margaret had a daughter, Margaret (noting that, through her marriage to Richard Stephens, she was an ancestress of Queen Elizabeth II), but said nothing about the John shown by Visitation as Edward's successor. Provisionally, we presume that John was also of that marriage. | |||||||||||||||
