D’Oyly, Cope (deceased brother of Robert D’Oyly and father of Charles and Cope D’Oyly)

D’Oyly, Cope (son of Cope D’Oyly)

D’Oyly, Robert (brother and administrator to Cope D’Oyly and guardian of Charles and Cope D’Oyly in England)

Harrison, Benjamin (attorney and guardian of Charles and Cope D’Oyly in Virginia)

Description

Dispute over guardianship and support of nephews of Robert D’Oyly

Disposition

Not stated in Acts of the Privy Council, Colonial Series

Notes

The petition appears to allege a dispute relating to the guardianship of minors and an intestate estate. The initial guardianship decision involved the probate jurisdiction of the Governor and the county court. Whether or not the petition of D’Oyly is a ‘true’ appeal from a judgment cannot be determined from the APC.
