JAMES QUARLES was Clerk of the Green Cloth to Queen Elizabeth I. He was a son of Sir Francis and Bridgett (Brampton) Quarles. His grandfather George Quarles was Auditor to King Henry VIII.

James Quarles married Joan Dalton, as his second wife. Joan was the daughter and heir of Eldred Dalton, of Moor Place, Hadham, County Hertfordshire, Esquire. More, Mores and Moore's are spelling variations for the Moor Place estate and Elizabethan house once owned by the Dalton family. This property was acquired by Eldred's mother, the widow Mary Dalton. Eldred Dalton is also called Edward Dalton by some sources, including The History of Parliament published by the UK Government which includes a biography of Joan Dalton's son Sir Robert Quarles, member of Parliament, who was knighted in 1608. Moor Place still exists, but the current house dates from the Georgian era, and was constructed after the Dalton family lived at Moor Place.

James Quarles and his wife Joan (Dalton) Quarles had several children.

Francis Quarles the poet married Ursula Woodgate and had children. They are my father's direct ancestors. Joanna Quarles, daughter of the poet Francis Quarles, is my father's direct ancestor. Joanna Quarles immigrated to Connecticut, where she married Richard Smith. The line from Quarles to Parker is recounted below in this memorial biography.

Martha (Quarles) D'Oyley married Sir Cope D'Oyley and had children.

Priscilla Quarles married John Dryden, being one of his three wives. He was closely related to the poet John Dryden. Most published information says Priscilla died without children, but at least one source claims she had a daughter who married.

Father of Francis Quarles, the poet, who married Ursula Woodgate
Francis Quarles (poet), son of James Quarles and
Joan (Dalton) Quarles
, married Ursula Woodgate.

Francis the poet and his wife Ursula had children, including a daughter Joanna Quarles. Possibly the name Joanna was chosen to honor her paternal grandmother Joan (Dalton) Quarles.

Francis Quarles (poet) was a grandson of Francis Quarles and Bridgett (Brampton) Quarles; and great-grandson of George Quarles, Auditor to King Henry VIII, and Margaret (Browne) Quarles, his wife.

James Quarles, father of Francis the poet, served as Clerk of the Green Cloth to Queen Elizabeth I. James married Joan Dalton.

Service to Tudor monarchs
James Quarles, Clerk of the Green Cloth, was a grandson of George Quarles, Auditor to King Henry VIII. Thus a Quarles tradition of service to the Tudor monarchs was established.

Francis Quarles, poet
Francis Quarles was best known as a poet, but he held other positions also. Later in life, partly because he was a Royalist, Francis Quarles suffered financially. However, his poems were popular with the Puritans in England also.

When Francis Quarles the poet died, his widow Ursula Woodgate made an effort to memorialize him by publishing more of his work, and also some biography. Clearly, Mrs. Quarles hoped her husband would not be forgotten.

Joanna Quarles married Richard Smith
Their daughter Joanna Quarles did not have a great inheritance. She was probably "informally adopted" by friends of her father, according to some historians. In these circumstances, Joanna Quarles went to Connecticut. In Connecticut, she married Richard Smith.

The Quarles family line to my ancestors Nathan Smith and Elizabeth Sterling is as follows. Their daughter Lucy Smith married Nathan Tinker. Mary Tinker, daughter of Nathan and Lucy, married Elisha Huntley. Julia Huntley, daughter of Elisha and Mary, married Henry Lyman Parker. Their son Nelson Huntley Parker, Sr. married Lula May Benson. George Otis Parker, Sr. was their son. My father George Otis Parker, Jr. was the only son of George Otis Parker, Sr. and his wife Mildred Jeanette Jones.

QUARLES
John Quarles or Thomas Quarles seems to be the first known Quarles in this family line. Refer to current scholarship for best information, being aware that not all websites or genealogical publications are reliable. Information about John Quarles of the next generation seems to be certain. Details about the following generations can be considered mostly reliable. There are many interesting connections to explore, especially when examining allied family relationships, and also friendships, with other ancestors not in this direct line.

*Quarles line continues as Smith (see below)

The Smith family line to my ancestors Nathan Smith and Elizabeth Sterling is as follows:

SMITH
John Smith
Mary Unknown

*Richard Smith
JOANNA QUARLES
daughter of Francis Quarles the poet

Francis Smith
Mary Unknown

Benjamin Smith
Sarah Way
Sarah's parents are unknown, probably the same Way family as others in the family group

Mary Tinker
Quarles and Smith line; royal ancestors by great-grandmother Elizabeth Harris, wife of Samuel Tinker
Elisha Huntley
three distinct ancestral lines from John Huntley and Jane to Elisha and his descendants; son of Martin Huntley and Phebe Mack

Julia Huntley, daughter of Elisha Huntley and Phebe Mack, married Henry Lyman Parker. Two sons of this marriage survived and were married, their other children having died at young ages. Nelson Huntley Parker, Sr. married Lula May Benson, a native of Macon, Georgia. Nelson's brother Willis Nathaniel Parker married Florence Knight Bickley, of Germantown and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Those named above are my father's ancestors by way of his great-grandmother Julia Huntley. Julia Huntley married Henry Lyman Parker. This Quarles ancestry therefore applies to Parker family beginning ONLY with Nelson Huntley Parker, Sr. who was a son of Julia Huntley and thus was a Quarles and Smith descendant. The Quarles ancestry applies to Nelson's son George Otis Parker, Sr. (and all of Nelson's children), and to George Sr.'s son George Otis Parker, Jr. — and to me, because my father was George Otis Parker, Jr.

Burials for the Smith family, including Joanna (Quarles) Smith, are unknown at this time. The first certain burial location in the direct Smith line is for Nathan Smith and his wife Elizabeth Sterling. They are buried in Connecticut.

James Quarles was father of Martha Quarles, who married Sir Cope D'Oyley
Martha Quarles, daughter of James and Joan (Dalton) Quarles, married Sir Cope D'Oyley, a son of John D'Oyley.

Biography of Martha Quarles and Sir Cope D'Oyley and their children will be added here.

Priscilla D'Oyley, sister of Sir Cope D'Oyley, married Edward Goddard
Priscilla D'Oyley was a daughter of John D'Oyley. Priscilla was a sister of Sir Cope D'Oyley, and sister-in-law of Martha (Quarles) D'Oyley.

Priscilla D'Oyley married Edward Goddard. Burials for Priscilla and Edward are not on Find A Grave at this time, and may be unknown. Research on the point of their burials is required.

Through Priscilla (D'Oyley) Goddard, the D'Oyley family were ancestors of the Goddard family of Brookline, Massachusetts.

The Goddard family of Massachusetts was closely connected to the family of my ancestors. This being on the side of Aspinwall and Brewer. The D'Oyley family is connected to my Parker ancestors because my ancestor Francis Quarles was a brother of Priscilla (Quarles) D'Oyley. Therefore, because the interesting connections overlap in my family tree, I take time to explain the D'Oyley and Goddard lineage of the Goddard family in Massachusetts.

Note that D'Oyley is spelled variously as D'Oyley and D'Oyly.

D'Oyley / D'Oyly lineage of the Goddard family of Brookline, Massachusetts, being specifically the lineage of Joseph Goddard and his descendant Samuel Aspinwall Goddard of Brookline and England
Edward Goddard and Priscilla D'Oyley are the ancestors of the Goddard family of Brookline, Massachusetts, who were descendants of their grandson Joseph Goddard and his wife Deborah Treadway.

Priscilla D'Oyley married Edward Goddard.

William Goddard, a son of Edward and Priscilla D'Oyley, married Elizabeth Miles. They lived in London, England. They had two sons, Joseph and
Edward. Both of these two sons were born in London, and both immigrated to Massachusetts.

The D'Oyley / D'Oyly name was not forgotten in Massachusetts. A descendant of Joseph Goddard (son of William Goddard and Elizabeth Miles, and grandson of Edward Goddard and Priscilla D'Oyley) returned to England, where the D'Oyley family lineage provided birthright privileges that were called upon at this later time. This was the family of Samuel Aspinwall Goddard, who went to England where he married Jemima Bachope. Their children were born in England.

Samuel Aspinwall Goddard remained in England, where he died and is buried. One of his sons took a living in England, in a position based on the D'Oyley / D'Oyly birthright. The D'Oyley–Goddard lineage is outlined below.

Edward Goddard married Priscilla D'Oyley. They had a son William Goddard.

William Goddard married Elizabeth Miles. They lived in London, England. Two of their sons immigrated to Massachusetts.

Joseph Goddard, a son of William and Elizabeth (Miles) Goddard, was born in London and immigrated to Massachusetts. Joseph was a grandson of Edward and Priscilla (D'Oyley) Goddard.

Joseph Goddard was a brother of Edward Goddard, who also came to Massachusetts.

In Massachusetts, Joseph Goddard (son of William Goddard and Elizabeth Miles, of London) married Deborah Treadway. They had a son John who married Hannah Jennison.

John Goddard (son of Joseph Goddard and Deborah Treadway) and Hannah Jennison had children, including a son John.

John Goddard (son of John Goddard and Hannah Jennison) was first married to Sarah Brewer*, a daughter of Nathaniel Brewer III and Elizabeth Mayo. Sarah died without children, and John married Hannah Seaver**. They had a son Joseph, who married Mary Aspinwall*** of Brookline.

Joseph Goddard (son of John Goddard and Hannah Seaver) and his wife Mary Aspinwall lived in Brookline, Massachusetts. They had several children, including a son named Samuel Aspinwall Goddard.

Samuel Aspinwall Goddard removed to England, where he married Jemima Bachope. Samuel Aspinwall Goddard and his children were aware of their D'Oyley / D'Oyly birthright and heritage. Their story in England is found on their memorials and can be researched online.

*Sarah (Brewer) Goddard had several siblings. Two of her brothers are my ancestors by way of my father and his second great-grandmother Catherine Elizabeth Brewer (Mrs. Richard Aaron Benson). Mrs. Benson was by her mother a descendant of Sarah's brother Joseph Brewer. By her father, Mrs. Benson was a descendant of Stephen Brewer, brother of Sarah (Brewer) Goddard and of Joseph Brewer.

**Hannah (Seaver) Goddard shares ancestors with my father, again by way of Catherine Elizabeth Brewer (Mrs. Richard Aaron Benson). Mrs. Benson was a descendant through her mother of the Seaver family, and by her father Thomas Aspinwall Brewer she was a descendant of the White family. Because Hannah Seaver and John Goddard had children and descendants, their descendants are related to my father (and to me).

***Mary Aspinwall shares her Aspinwall ancestry with my father's Aspinwall family line. Mary's father Samuel Aspinwall was the brother of my direct ancestor Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall, of Brookline, Massachusetts. Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall married Lucy Sparhawk. Their daughter Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall married Edward Brewer. Sarah Brewer Goddard was Edward Brewer's aunt. Edward Brewer and his wife Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall we're parents of my ancestor Thomas Aspinwall Brewer. He married his second cousin Mary Foster Brewer. Mary's grandfather Joseph was a brother of Stephen Brewer and of Sarah (Brewer) Goddard. Edward Brewer was a first cousin of Ebenezer Brewer, and Ebenezer Brewer's daughter Mary Foster Brewer married Thomas Aspinwall Brewer. Thus these families are very interconnected. Understanding these connections is relevant to family history, and to history in general specifically to Massachusetts and Brookline history. Because a descendant was Admiral William Shepherd Benson, this is politically and historically relevant beyond the interest of family members only. Admiral Benson was the first Chief of Naval Operations, by which he was at one time the highest ranking officer in the United States Navy.
JAMES QUARLES was Clerk of the Green Cloth to Queen Elizabeth I. He was a son of Sir Francis and Bridgett (Brampton) Quarles. His grandfather George Quarles was Auditor to King Henry VIII.

James Quarles married Joan Dalton, as his second wife. Joan was the daughter and heir of Eldred Dalton, of Moor Place, Hadham, County Hertfordshire, Esquire. More, Mores and Moore's are spelling variations for the Moor Place estate and Elizabethan house once owned by the Dalton family. This property was acquired by Eldred's mother, the widow Mary Dalton. Eldred Dalton is also called Edward Dalton by some sources, including The History of Parliament published by the UK Government which includes a biography of Joan Dalton's son Sir Robert Quarles, member of Parliament, who was knighted in 1608. Moor Place still exists, but the current house dates from the Georgian era, and was constructed after the Dalton family lived at Moor Place.
