COBNISH LANDOWNERS, 1256. 299 



Lysons says, in his remarks on this record, that " the name 

 of the Flamanks still contin^ies, although most of the landed 

 property has passed to the heiresses of elder branches." The 

 manor of Bray, in Morval, is said to have been sold before 1564, 

 by Christopher Coplestone, who was Sheriff of Devon in 1560. 

 He was descended, through females, by 10 generations from 

 Eobert Fleming, who married Hester, daughter and heir of Jno. 

 Berkeley. Their daughter and heir, Jane, married Eobert Fitz- 

 Water, father of William Fitz-Water, Sheriff of Cornwall, 7th 

 Richard II. 



(8.) Willi. Wise— 16 librates. 



Grreaston or Greston, in Lezant, was the ancient seat of the 

 Wysea or Wise family, afterwards of Sydenham, in Marystow, 

 Devon. 



William Wysa was one of the witnesses to a deed made by 

 Eichard de Landu, of Lezant, without date, but evidently of the 

 period of this record, as the custom of affixing dates to deeds 

 was not become general in the reign of Henry III. Another 

 deed, without date, but somewhat later, as Thomas, son of 

 Eichard de Landu, is named, was executed by Sir William Wysa, 

 of Greyston, probably circa 1270. In it he granted to William, 

 son of Warine de Landu, " all my right that I had, or could have, 

 to one pair of white gloves, with homage & service, which 

 Thomas, son of Eichd. de Landu, & his heirs or assigns, were 

 wont to pay & to do yearly, unto me & my heirs & assigns at the 

 Feast of St. Michael, for that half acre of land which Willm. 

 Fridey formerly held in the vill of Landu." 



Constance, daughter of William Wise, of Grrayston, married 

 William Godolphin (Visitation of Cornwall, 1620, Godolphin 

 Fed.). 



After leaving Greston, the Wise family removed to Syden- 

 ham, near Tavistock, where they resided until the reign of James 

 I, at whose coronation, in 1603, Sir Thomas Wise received the 

 honour of knighthood. His only son, Edward, dying unmarried, 

 "his grand-daughter in the female line, Mrs. Bridget Hather- 

 leigh," by her marriage with the gallant royalist. Col. Arthur 

 Tremayne, carried the house and lands of Sydenham to the 

 family of Tremayne.
