I am trying to find out what happened to John Huntley who owned Boxwell
Court,
Tetbury, Gloucestershire. this is all the information that I know:

John Huntley was a Captain and in powerful company as one of
them later signed King Charles death warrant.
John was wounded and captured at the Battle of Cirencester in 1643 & thrown
into
prison at Oxford. John had fought against the King. His Uncle, Mathew
Huntley, who had fought for the King came into possession of Boxwell
Court but how??? What happened to John Huntley?? Did he live, was
exiled and showed up in Boston, MA in 1647 three years later??

I would also Like to try and acquire the Manor roll of Boxwell Court it
might show when & why John lost Boxwell Court. He is not buried in the
adjoining chapel.
What happened to all those captured at Cirencester?? The one who signed
the death warrant
was one but was set free.
