Nicholas, Thomas, Jacobus (James), Johanem (John),
Derick and Richard.

Inscription
This Olive liv'd much more content with me
Than did the Dove, good No'h, in ark with thee,
And brought me Olive-branch to glad myne hart ...
Her heart, her mynd her soule, her faith most pure,
Weare linck't in Christ, so stedfast and so sure,
As help her soar more high than Dove could flye,
Now therefore No'h, thy Dove I must pass bye.
She died on November 19, 1603, aged 55, having surviving children; Harman, John, Thomas, James, Joan, and Susanna, by Nicholas Alwood of Saundersted in Surrey, gent, to whom she was previously married;
and the seventh surviving only son, Oliver, by John Buck of Aldenham, gent, who, dedicates this list of virtues, most mournfully, to the memory of his most beautiful wife, Olive, daughter and heir of James Harman, father of Edmund of Burford, Taniton, and Wytford, in Oxon, Esquire.
