   General Notes:

Knight. Son & heir and heir to his uncle Richard in 1415 and to his
uncle Sir William. !In the inquisition taken after Bishop Richard
Courtenay of Norwich the estates named were Powderham,
Plympton, Moreton, Honiton, Alsington and many others. It is
highly probable, that in that fatal quarrel between the Houses of
York and Lancaster he sided with the House of York; for he had
two sons that acted for that house and another son was made
Bishop by Edward IV. !In Visitations Vol. 9Co. of Cornwall 1620.
