John had already go the bulk of the Gambleside estate of yearly rent35/- by proceedings in the Court Roll.
Oliver was left only 10/- in his father's will and excluded from anyfurther portion "for I [Oliver (6J1)] have susteyned great charges andpaied great somes of money for his preferment by learning".

Another third of his goods was divided between his three sons, leavingout Oliver, and his 'own' third part went to his youngest son, Robert,who had received no land and Robert was also made the executor.Oliver's three daughters were excluded from his will because he hadfound them adequate marriage portions.

It was to Oliver that the Ormerod coat of arms 'as the ancient coat ofarmour of his family' was granted in the Visitation of Somerset in1623.
The pedigree submitted by Oliver on this occasion is believed to be atleast incorrect, and possibly deliberately misleading.Author of the Picture of a Puritan, 1605, and the Picture of a Papist,1606.

of Littlehouse in Gambleside
Illegitimate son of Peter Ormerod (4G1) of Gambleside.
Milton Ormerod, in The Ormerods pp.178-179, argues that John's motherwas more than likely one of the daughters of Oliver Ormerod (3L1).Buried in Burnley on 21 March 1592/93.
Will proved in 1593.In 1582 the Court Roll stated that a jury of 24, i.e. one drawn fromall the manors in the Honour of Clitheroe for a special purpose, e.g.to settle some dispute, or to rectify some wrong or dereliction ofduty, was empanelled.

His will was proved in 1593.
In it he mentions all his children except Margaret, who with herseven sons are mentioned in the will of her brother, Peter, vicar ofWhalley, probably because her father had overlooked her in his ownwill.By the time he died John was a respectable member of the society inwhich he lived and apparently effectively the treasurer of the chapelat Goodshaw.
One item of the inventory of his will is of particular interest:- "acole pick" coupled with a spade and a 'shuffle'.
There was coal at Gambleside, and a mention of coal extraction therein the early 1600's, though not connected with the Ormerods.
The inventory of John's possessions showed him to be worth £67 16s 8d.In his will John refers to Alice as 'my now wife', and Alice wasburied at Burnley in 1602.
Oliver, Rector of Huntspill, claimed in his pedigree that his paternalgrandmother was a Whitacre, and this could well be the correct surnameof John's first wife.
