It will be observed that the paternal arms as assigned by 

 Lysons, by what authority we know not, and those allowed in 

 the Visitation referred to are substantially the same, the differ- 

 ence being no more than might be adopted to distinguish two 

 branches of the same family. We fail, however, to identify the 

 individuals in the two pedigrees. It is not unlikely, however, 

 that Robert "Wydeslade the grantee of the manor of Estcott in 

 1533-4 was identical with Eobert the son of William in the 

 second pedigree, and that the said William was the same who 

 held lands in Trigg ten years previously. 



It would seem to be desirable to add a few words relative to 

 Foway-more, in a moiety which the Abbot of Cleeve claims to 

 share with Eichard Wydeslade the profits of the toll of tin, the 

 turbary, coal and other yearly profits arising out of the moor. 

 The Manor of Foweyton has been identified by Lysons and 

 others with the Manor of Faweton, alias Trenay, in the parish 

 of St. Neot, and Lysons states that it was vested in the Daubeny 

 family from the reign of King Edward 1, if not earlier, to that 

 of Henry VIII,''^ but this statement is hardly consistent with 

 what we know of the Manor from other sources. It would seem 

 from this Indenture, for example, that the Abbey of Cleeve had 

 a share in the Manorial rights in 1476. From the Inquisition 

 post-mortem of William Fitz Wauter, who died in 1385, that he 

 died seized of two parcels of land in Brownwalyng (Brownwilly) 

 and Stymkodda, which he held of Ralph son and heir of John 

 de Wellington as of his Manor of Fowyton. The Manor of 

 Brownwillie would seem to have been a member of the Manor 

 Fowyton, and is described as a Manor as late as 1639, but this 

 is the only instance in which we have seen it so described, f 

 Fowyton, however, was one of the Cornish manors of the
