Oxon Hoath was owned by Sir John Culpepper in the reign of Edward III. By the early 18th century it was owned by the Miller family. On the death of Sir Borlase Miller in 1714, the house was inherited by his sister Elizabeth, wife of Leonard Bartholomew (d. 1720). The house remained in the ownership of the Bartholomew family until the death of the latter's grandson Philip Bartholomew in 1757. Sir William Geary, who inherited it from Philip Bartholomew, was the second son of Francis Geary of Polesden Lacey, Surrey.
