died probably several years previously. He left two daughters 

 coheirs,* Elizabeth and Katherine, both minors in 1354, though 

 they were probably then both married. Elizabeth married 

 WiUiam Polglas on 23rd March 1552-3, as her first husband, by 

 whom she had issue two children, Richard, an idiot, and 

 Margaret, who became the wife of John Hearle. Secondly she 

 married John Sergeaux of Colquite, by whom she had no issue. 

 She survived both her husbands. John died 1387-8, and she 

 in 1395. Katherine also was twice married, first, to Sir Walter 

 Woodehouse, secondly, to Ralph Carminow of Boconnoc, but 

 had no issue. 



On the 10th February, 1354-5 a mandate was issuedf by the 

 Duke of Cornwall to John Dabernoun, his sheriff and steward 

 for Cornwall, to restore the said manors to Elizabeth and 

 Katherine, daughters of William de Champernon on their 

 attaining full age. 



This statement is supported by the following petition of 

 Ralph Oarmenowe, Ohr., and William Oarmenowe his brother, 

 addressed to the King in Council (C. 1562, 1563). Writ dated 

 10th December, P*RichardII(] 377). They complain that whereas 

 William Chambernon was seized of certain manors and 

 tenements in Devon and Cornwall, and had issue two daughters, 

 which William died, after whose death the two daughters 

 entered into the said manors, &c. as the said William's daughters 

 and heirs, and that they made partition betweem them. One 

 daughter was married to the said Ralph and the other to John 

 Siregeux, which John, covetous to have the entire inheritance, 

 sent divers persons to the manor of the said Ralph of Bockonnoc, 

 and there beat and illtreated the said Ralph and his wife, and 

 took and carried away their goods and chattels to the value of 

 £200, and left the said Ralph for dead ; then Ralph gave this 

 manor, which had been allotted to his wife, to divers persons for 

 the term of his life at a certain rent, who left their estate to the 

 said William Carminow, who let the same to Ralph for a term 

 of years yet unexpired. Whereupon the said John Sergeaux, 

 being Sheriff of Cornwall, J with a great number of persons,
