COLLATON MANOR
in Newton Ferrers

  Winifred Stone was older sister to Anne stone wife of Digory Hext died 11 JUN 1634  St Kew, Winifred was married to John Matthew , clerk, of St Kew  d 1661;
 William Matthew's family  inherited a diminishing fortune and Captain George Mathew, the last of the family to live in Radyr, married Elizabeth Poyntz and the couple departed from Radyr to live on her estates at Thurles in County Tipperary, Ireland during 1625.  

Tresonger was home of John Matthew gent who married  a Vivian of Truan.  He was originally of Penetinny near St Kew village, who gained by marrying the heiress of Tresonger, of Tresonger in Endellion  A younger branch of the Matthews was of Middle-Amble in Kew. The elder line of this branch became extinct before the year 1700 Originating from Glamorganshire the Irish branch of the Mathews migrated to the West Indies and to Cornwall.

The 6th of 7 daughters of John Stone by his wife Jane Callard was Mary Stone. After John Stone Died in 1573 his widow Jane married Mayor Thomas Hext  and  her daughter Mary married Digory Hext of Launceston, son of the wealthy merchant  her mothers 2nd husband, 

 Digory & Mary had 2 children before she died. Jane and  Thomas who died in 1586  Mary seems to have died at his birth.

 Jane Hext  was heiress to both her father, Digory , & her grandfather Thomas , and was married Andrew Pomeroy the younger at St Kew on 30  September 1601. She was about 15 years old 

Thomas Hext/Heckes/ Hickes - his Will of 1595 shows that he had 3 sons George, Thomas and Digory and the Hext family think he is related to Thomas Hext of Staverton in Devon and therefore the other Hext families in Cornwall.

Thomas Hext of Launceston in Cornwall born in 1487 was an alderman and a successful and wealthy merchant who bought up considerable property and lands around the town . He was Mayor several times in 1535, 1555 , 1575-76 , 1581-82 and 1589-90.

He was tenant of the lands of Launceston priory, of which the borough of Newport formed a part, was mayor of Launceston when the town was granted its new charter in 1535-6 .

Thomas married Jane Stone nee Callard widow of John Stone and his son Digory married Jane's daughter Anne Stone - !

In 1588 his name appears on the list of gentlemen who were called upon to provide the Crown with money at the time of the Spanish Armada - "March 27, 1588 - £25."

He built several houses in the centre of the town. It seems almost certain that stone used for these buildings was taken from the recently dissolved and magnificent Launceston Priory. They are still standing on the corner of the Market Square-

From his will -Digory Hext was his son b circa 1565 - who married Mary 6th daughter of John Stone MP & Jane Callard of Trevigo-Married circa 1580 they had at least two children, Thomas and Jane before Anne died. Their son Thomas died in 1586 and Jane became her father's sole heir. In the burial register of St Thomas' church, Launceston there is an entry "1586, Feb 22nd, Thomas Hecks, the son of Digorie Hecks"

In 1599-1600 Digory Hext was Mayor of Launceston, like his father before him. Digory married again - Julia Wadham his second wife he married in St Stephen by Launceston September 13th, 1596.

Jane Hext , heiress to her grandfather Thomas married Andrew Pomeroy of the Collaton Pomeroys on 30th September 1601 in St Kew

William(2) a son to *Andrew Pomeroy and Jane* , William born 22 Oct 1606 Newton Ferrers.

Which fits with the dates in the tree. Andrew Pomeroy was living in/ of St Columb Major by 1620 with daughter Ann was born 1608 

who married *Peter Jenkins* in St Columb Major died 1682.

Nicholas Slanning (1606–1643)’ was the son of Gamaliel Slanning of Hele and his wife and cousin Margaret Marler, daughter of Edward Marler of Crayford, Kent.

His name appears numerous times in the Plymouth Black Book records of the Plymouth Corporation

Nicholas Slanning inherited Maristow, Walkhampton, and Bickleigh in 1612. He attended Exeter College, Oxford and was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1628. However, he left the next year for the Low Countries "to learn the arts of war".Slanning returned to England and was knighted on 24 August 1632 at Nonsuch.

He was appointed to the Commission for Piracy in Devon and Cornwall and Vice-Admiral of the Southern Shores of both counties. He was subsequently appointed Governor of Pendennis Castle which guarded the entrance to Falmouth harbour.

"WINKLEIGH is a large ancient village, situated on a lofty eminence, on the Crediton and Torrington road, 6 miles S.W. of Chulmleigh and E.N.E. of Hatherleigh, and 22 miles W.N.W. of Exeter.( Mid devon) The manor was for a long period divided between the Keynes and Tracey families, and was afterwards held by those of Holland and Lethbridge.

Winkleigh was split between two families, the Keynes and the Traceys. Both of them erected 'castles' (possibly only fortified manor houses) by the village. They are known as Croft Castle and Court Castle. (Although today only mounds remain). During the Middle Ages a tiny market town grew up between the two castles.

The manor of Winkleigh Keynes belonged to the family of Keynes so early as the reign of Henry II (1154+35 ). After a continuance of fifteen descents, it was sold by John Keynes, Esq., before Sir William Pole's time. It has been a considerable time in the Lethbridge family, and is now the property of Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., whose family had a seat, called Court Barton (fn. 1) , near the church, lately purchased by the Rev. John Tossell Johnson, and now occupied by a farmer. The manor of Winkleigh Tracey belonged to the family of Tracey. It afterwards was granted to the Hollands, dukes of Exeter, and passed to Thomas Marquis of Dorset: this also belongs now to Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Bart. The lords of the manor of Winkleigh Keynes had formerly the power of inflicting capital punishment.

Hundred Roll A record of the reign of Edward II.(1272 = 35 years) , which grants the custody of the estates of Gilbert of Gloucester to Richard Clare, describes lands at Winkleigh, et Curia ibidem. That Curia is no doubt the Court, which was the seat of the Lethbridge family.

NCLEDON

INCLEDON OF BUCKLAND IN BRAUNTON

The manor of Buckland in Braunton North devon with an estate called Incledon, belonged to the Incledon family from an early period till the year 1759.

Richard Incledon, Gent., 1558; John Incledon, 1570; Lewis Incledon, 1614; John Incledon, Esq., 1661; Lewis Incledon, Esq., 1698; Henry Incledon, Esq., 1736; John Incledon, Esq., 1746.

The earliest Incledon records are from the 12th century. They probably lived at the adjoining farm. Buckland was purchased in 1319 and Incledons have lived there ever since. Only once in seven centuries was the head of the house a Webber, because the elder daughter married Philip Rogers Webber of Loxhore near Barnstaple in the mid 18th century. Webber came from a pewterer family, and both his father and grandfather were Mayors of Barnstaple. Their portraits hang in the Guildhall at Barnstaple.

Meanwhile the Incledons had been supplying several Recorders of Barnstaple over a period of 79 years. In about 1746 Robert Incledon built Pilton House, Barnstaple, now an old people's home, and his son Benjamin, Recorder in 1758, was living there in 1770. The 1830 Recorder, Robert Newton Incledon, also lived there. The two stone falcons of the Incledon crest stood at its entrance gate, but were later transferred to Buckland. Philip Rogers Webber reconstructed the front of Buckland in the Queen Anne style, completing it in 1762. They had 16 children, and rebuilt the east wing to accommodate them. His son Henry Webber was Caroline's Great-great-great-Grandfather.

Buckland had 650 acres of farm land and ancient farm buildings including one dating from 1660. The 1841 census lists 35 people living on the estate. While other places in Devon called Buckland are probably named after the male deer, it is believed that this Buckland was Boke-land, indicating that the estate is listed in the Domesday Book.

The manor of Buckland in this parish, with an estate called Incledon, belonged to the Incledon family from an early period till the year 1759. One of the co-heiresses of the late John Incledon, Esq. brought it to the late Philip Rogers Webber, Esq. whose son, Henry Webber, Esq., a general in the East India Company's service, is the present proprietor. Buckland house is the seat of General Webber. There was also a manor of Buckland Chailow in this parish, the inheritance of the Giffard family, who held it under the duchy of Cornwall in the reign of James I.
