ANCIENT CORNISH DEED. 29 



In 1435, Thomas Dannan held lands in the Manor of 

 Treglasta, of John Wydeslade and Elizabeth his wife.* 



John Wydeslade and Elizabeth his wife are doubtless the 

 John and Elizabeth who head our pedigree, and we are of 

 opinion that further research would shew Elizabeth and Isabella 

 to be sisters and coheirs, but whose daughters they were there 

 is not at present any thing to shew.f 



In 1452, another fine was levied between Roger Erode, 

 clerk; John Carburra, clerk; Robert Heyman, clerk; John 

 Gay, jun. ; and John Whyte son of Thomas Whyte of Treglast, 

 querists, and Richard Wydeslade and Mary his wife deforciants, 

 by which the Manors of Bossini, Turcoys, Methyan, Bugales 

 and Tregerick with their appurtenances were conveyed to Roger 

 Brode and the others for the term of their lives and after their 

 decease the remainder to the said Richard and Mary and the 

 heirs of their bodies, and, in default of such issue, remainder 

 to the right heirs of Mary. J That Mary was an heiress is 

 evident, for the object of this fine was so to settle the lands 

 that in the event of her dying s.p., they should revert to her 

 heirs and not to the heirs of Richard Wyndslade. 



It appears from the Deed of which we are treating that 

 John Wydeslade and Elizabeth his wife had beside Richard 

 another son named John whose wife was Alice, and that Richard 

 and his wife Mary had issue another John, whose wife was 

 named Ann. They had issue, a son who was also named John 

 who was one of the "heads and Captains of the rebellion " in 

 Cornwall in the summer of 1549,§ under Humphry Arundel, 

 of HeUand, in resistence to the change of religion. After the 

 defeat of the insurgents at Clifton down near Exeter, in August 

 of that year, John Wydeslade with Humphry Arundel and 

 others were made prisoners, and the former was executed at 

 Tyburn, and his estates were forfeited, notwithstanding that

t In 1443, John Wydeslade was querist in a fine in which Odo Vyvyan and 

 Matilda his wife were defor., by which Trewenhelek and other lands were settled 

 on Odo and his wife, rem. to John Arundel, Esq., son of John Arundel, late of 

 Bideford; rem. to Eichard Tregoys, Esq. ; rem. to Eich. Penpons and Amicia 

 his wife ; rem. to the right heirs of Matilda.— Ped. Fin. 21 Henry VI, No. 1.
