2. Walter Hungerford, William Talbot, Robert Hill of Spaxton and John Bamfyll
Premises: lands in Brushford and Rewe
Based upon our earlier exchange wherein it is established that Margaret, wife of Robert Hill was the daughter of Richard Champernowne III, apparently by his 2nd wife, Katherine Daubeney, I took a look at her ancestry and came across something interesting---she too is descended from the Champernownes. I
cracked the books and assembled the following:
The Inq. of Walter de Treverbyn and Andrew de Solenny (CIPM, 4: no. 82), dated to 1302, refers to the manor of Faweton, co. Cornwall and its division among the heirs of Andrew de Solenny. The heirs included his aunt, Emma de Sulenny. The IPM reads "From Emma the younger sister issued one Oliver de Campo Arnulphi her son and heir, from him one Joan his daughter and heir, from her Ralph
her son and heir, and from him one John de Welynton, who now holds his pourparty and is off full age and married.
