William and Elizabeth Pole in New England

Legg inn av John Brandon » 05 okt 2004 23:04:39

I suppose there's no doubt about the siblings William and Elizabeth
Pole of Taunton, Mass., being children of Sir William Pole of Coliton,
Devonshire, the famous antiquary. But the following is a contemporary
statement of the fact. Rev. Richard Polwhele, _The History of
Devonshire_ (London, 1793-1806; reprint, Scolar Press, 1977),
2:316-17:

Sir William Pole died on the 9th of February, 1635, in the 74th year
of his age, leaving a numerous issue, as appears from the following
funeral certificate [fn: in the college of arms, I. 24]: "The Right
Worshipful Sir William Pole, knt. departed out of this transitory life
the 9th day of February, 1635, in the 74th year of his age, at his
house called Colcombe, in the parish of Coliton, and county of Devon,
and was buried in the isle on the west-side of the chancel of the said
parish church, being the burial place belonging to his family. He
married to his first wife Mary, the eldest daughter, and one of the
co-heirs of Sir William Periam, of Fulford, in the parish of Crediton,
and county aforesaid, knt. lord chief baron of the exchequer, and by
her had issue six sons and five daughters, viz. I. William Pole,
died a child; II. Sir John Pole, bart. (second son, now eldest son
and heir) aged about 47 years, who married Elizabeth, the sole
daughter and heir of Roger How of London, merchant by whom he hath
issue, [ ... omitted ...] III. Periam Pole, now aged about 46 years,
married Dorothy, daughter of John Hippisley, of Camley, in the county
of Somerset; and by her hath divers children now living. IV.
William, aged about 45 years, and now in New England; V. Arthur,
died about the age of three quarters of a year, upon the hurt of a
fall. VI. Francis, parson of Tregoney, in the county of Cornwall,
died about 10 years since, unmarried, which last three sons were born
at one birth. VII. Mary, eldest daughter of the defunct, first
married to Mr. Nicholas Hurst, of Oxton, in the county of Devon
aforesaid, by whom she had no issue; 2dly, to Francis, eldest son of
Sir Wm. Courtenay of Powderham, in the aforesaid county of Devon, knt.
by whom she had issue one daughter, which died a child. VIII.
Catherine, 2d daughter, married to Mr. Thomas Southcott, of
Mohun's-Awtrey, in the county of Devon, by whom she hath divers
children. IX. Elizabeth, 3d daughter, aged about 50 years, now in
New England. X. Anne, 4th daughter, now aged about 49 years, married
to Edmond Walrond, of Bovey, in the county of Devon, gent. by whom she
hath divers children. XI. Eleanor, 5th daughter, now aged about 44
years, married to Anthony Floyer, of Floyerhayes, in the county of
Devon, esq. by whom she hath divers children. The defunct married to
his second wife Jane, the daughter of Wm. Symes, of Chard, in co.
Somerset, gent. and widow of the aforesaid Roger How, by whom he had
no issue. This certificate was taken the 25th day of October, 1637,
by Sir Wm. Le Neve, knt. clarencieux k. of arms, and the truth thereof
is testified by the subscription of the aforesaid Sir John Pole, bart.
now eldest son and heir, and sole executor of the defunct. JOHN
POLE."

Many thanks for this. One of my ancestors m. another of Wm Periam's
daughters and I've never found much information about him.

Polwhele has more on William Periam, but good luck finding it (the
index is atrocious)!

Actually, P.W. Hasler, ed., _History of Parliament: House of Commons,
1558-1603_ has a bio. of William Periam (see under "Peryam"). It
shows that your ancestor must have been a daughter of his second wife
(Parker), rather than of his third wife (Bacon), as you have it.
