From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography

Napier, Sir Gerard, first baronet (bap. 1606, d. 1673), politician, was baptized at Steeple, Dorset, on 19 October 1606, the eldest son of Sir Nathaniel Napier, of More Crichel, and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Gerard of Hyde, in the Isle of Purbeck; he was a grandson of Sir Robert Napier (d. 1615) and brother of Robert Napier (1610/11–1686). He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford (1623–4), and on 8 November 1627 was admitted as a student of the Middle Temple. Until the death of his father in 1635 he lived at Middlemarsh Hall, near Sherborne, Dorset. By about 1636 he had married Margaret (d. 1660), daughter and coheir of John Colles of Barton, Somerset, gaining thereby connections with John Coventry, son of lord keeper Thomas Coventry, and Sir William Portman, both of whom had married daughters of Colles.
