Note, Since the Memoir of this branch of the family on pp. 212ó213 was printed, we have derived further information respecting it from a little work

courteously sent to us by the Rev. J. H. Butcher, Curate of Ashburton. 

This work consists of extracts from the accounts of the Churchwardens of Ashburton,

extending from 1479 to I58∞- Richard Prideaux is mentioned in 1486, and in 1515-6 5s. 8d. is credited on his death ìfor a cross at his house and in the Church.î

Elizabeth Prideaux, widow, on her death in 1528-9 ìgave ø5 13s, 4d. for the part purchase of a best cope.î Richard and Elizabeth were probably the parents of

John and Thomas, and, possibly, the brother of Thomas father of Richard Prideaux of Tavistock. There are many entries relating to the family.
