Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Indiho and Ullacombe, both in the parish of Bovey Tracey, were granted in 1544 to John Southcott of Bodmin and John Tregonwell of Middleton. The earliest recorded secular inhabitant of Indio was John Southcott (d.1556), who in the words of the Devon historian Pole (d.1635): "Bwilded a fayre howse & dwelled theire". He was a Clerk of the Peace for Devon, and was the 2nd son of Nicholas Southcott of Southcott, in the parish of Winkleigh, Devon.
As steward of Thomas Cromwell he obtained several monastic holdings in Devonshire on favourable terms. An ancient document exists, in connection with the Dissolution accounts, which refers to "Rent of a messuage in Yondyeo leased on 15 July 1531 to John Southcote, his wife Joan and Johns’s heirs for ever, 26s 8d".
