 new maps. The owners appear to have been, 1584-1601, Tiege 

 O'Donogh or O'Duffie, Aghanes or Aghnes Island (Inq. Exch., 54 ; 

 Fi. 6566), and, 1604, E. Lyster, subject to dower of his mother Marg.

^ Paganus Trenchard appears (1120-30) at Hordhill, in the Isle of Wight ; his 

 descendant, Sir T., relieved Exeter, in 1497, M'hen besieged by Perkin Warbeck ; 

 from him derived W. Trenchard, of Normington, granted the Manor of Corgraige, 

 or Mount Trenchard, 1587. His sons, Edward and Francis, of Kodaston, 

 Wilts, confirmed in Corgraige, and died 1621. The pubUshed pedigrees seem 

 inaccurate.

 family, held by Andrew and his son, John, 1594 (Inq. Chan, 45) ; their lands not
