"John Ambler((3)) (Richard((2)), Edward Jaquelin((1))), b. 1734; d. May 17, 1766; second son of Richard Ambler and Elizabeth Jaquelin and born in the town of Little York. At the age of ten he was sent with his elder brother, Edward, to Leeds Academy, near Wakefield, in Yorkshire, England, for his education. He afterwards graduated with great credit at Cambridge, from which seminary of learning he repaired to London to commence the study of law. He soon became a student in the Middle Temple, and remained there until he became a very learned and accomplished "Barrister at Law." After travelling over Europe, he returned to Virginia, and took possession of Jamestown, which estate had been given him by his grandfather, Edward Jaquelin. He represented the borough of Jamestown for several years in the House of Burgesses, and was considered one of the most accomplished scholars in the Colony. He was perfect master of seven languages. Many of his books in their different languages have come down in good order to my (J. J. Ambler's) father, the second John Ambler.
He never married, and at his death left all his property to his brother Edward, who caused a magnificent monument to be sculptured in England, which was transported to Virginia and erected to his brother's memory in the old graveyard of the first church ever built in America, where the bones of so many of our ancestors had been previously interred. The monument was in existence as late as 1820, when the writer (J. J. Ambler MS.) copied the following inscription, which had been distinctly engraved under the family coat-of-arms:

John Ambler, Barrister at Law." ^[S2066]

Francis was probably named after the brother of Nicholas, who was also in the Virginia colony with Nicholas. Frances (M13) married Mary Bathurst (1675-?), daughter of Lancelot Bathurst and granddaughter of Sir Edward Bathurst. More information about Nicholas and his children, including corrections to the many incorrect details of Nicholas, may be found on the Meriwether Society web site: http://MeriwetherSociety,org
