    • Notes 
      • According to "Richmond Family Records", vol. 2, p. 108, William RICHMOND alias WEBB of Battersea and Lydiard Millicent (Wilts) was the son of Ambrose RICHMOND als. WEBB and his wife Emma daughter of George ESTCOURT, gent., of Tetbury.

        "By indenture dated 31 October 44 Eliz (1602) between William WEBB and John ESCOURTE of Tetbury and Edmund MASKELYNE of Pyrton (Purton, Wilts.) in consideration of a marriage to be had between Ambrose WEBB naturall son of the said William and Emma ESCOURTE one of the daughters of George ESCOURTE of Tetbury and of 100 marks, William WEBB granted to John and Edmund in trust meadow and pasture ground in Lyddiard Millicent (Lydiard Millicent, Wilts.) called the Hydes, of 20 acres and meadows or pasture ground called the Great or Further Lye, etc."


        She may have been a daughter of a George ESTCOURT who was a churchwarden of Tetbury in 1594 according to Lee's "History of Tetbury" (p. 292, col. 2, George ESTCOURTE).

        Johan ESTCORTE, of Westport, Wilts. widow is named in a Chancery Suit answer of 12 Feb. 1594/5 and appears in "Richmond Family Records", vol. 2, p. 55 as Johan ESTCORTE, a widow, who by an earlier marriage to John MOODY, of Westport (d. 4 Mar. 1549/50, IPM 6 Feb. 1550/1; see Visitation of Wilts., 1623, pp. 136-137, MOODIE de Westport pedigree) had a daughter Elizabeth who married Anthony RICHMOND alias WEBB of Manningford Bohim, Wilts. (who happens to have been Ambrose R als W's uncle).

        After the death of MOODY, Johan married an ESTCOURT (ESTCORTE) and was widowed again by 12 Feb. 1594/5, which makes it possible for her to have been the wife of George ESTCOURT churchwarden of Tetbury in 1594.

        In the ESCOURT pedigree in the Visitation of Glos., 1623, p. 57, a George ESTCOURT, no residence given, is said to have married "Joane daughter of ... STEEDE". Their issue is only shown as two sons: Edmond ESTCOURT who married Mary daughter of BERNARD and, perhaps significantly in regard to the marriage settlement, John ESTCOURT who married Grace daughter of LYGGON.

        The possibility is that Johan former wife of John MOODY or MOODIE, of Westport, Malmesbury, and later widow of one ESTCORTE, was identical with Joane STEEDE who married George ESTCOURT.


        The Glos. Vis. pedigree of ESTCOURT shows that this latter George ESTCOURT was the 3rd son of Edmond de la ESTCOURT and his wife Praxid [Praxed/Praxeda] daughter of William BUTTON of ... in com. Wilts.
