Daughter Rosa Oxlade wife of Andreas Miller, Apothecary, not mentioned in the Will though identified as Christopher Oxlads daughter of High Wycombe, at her marriage 12 Jul 1663 at Hughenden. Waterend is just out of Bledlow Ridge towards Chinnor. Just to the North off City road is a property called Pophleys. I wonder if this could be the property transcribed as Pythiners in the 1570 Will of Richard Oxlade? Note Thomas Oxlad of West Wycombe left a house and land at Waterend in a Will of 1707. His son Daniel Witnessed the Will of John Oxlade of Walters Ash who in turn left a legacy to His Godson John Oxlade the son of James Oxlade who was the son of Thomas Oxlade. Stokenchurch is the adjacent village to Lewknor (at the top of the hill). Lewknor is on the Chinnor-Waltlington Rd.
