The second wife's parents were Edward Galland, vintner and innkeeper of Wantage, by a wife Agnes, shown as "Agnes Wilmot" in their marriage record ca. 1600. However, as I have pointed out, Oxford Surveys published ca. 1960 seems to indicate that one Oxford dweller, William Spenser, of the same period, had property there that descended to his daughter Agnes Galland.

"A Mr. Mayhew, with the support of Secretary Windebank and Attorney General Bankes, was about to receive the right to operate this business, thus threatening the petitioners’ very livelihood."

"Why was Thomas Mayhew favoured in 1636 over the petitioners? That he received the backing of Secretary Windebank, a high ranking official, was clearly important. A possible explanation for this support is a family connection, of which the petitioners may not have been aware. A Mildred Reade is recorded as sister to a Francis Windebank. A Thomas Mayhew is her nephew and so Windebank’s nephew also. This Mayhew was sufficiently well thought of in 1630 to receive a bequest in Mildred Reade’s will.[25] It is likely that this is the same Thomas Mayhew, cashing in on the patronage of a well-placed uncle, who in 1636 ousted the petitioners from their role."
