Families covered: Davy of Crediton, Davie of Creedie, Davye of Midland, Davie of Sandford
| The Visitation provides 4 sections on the Davy(e) family. As shown below, thanks to BP1934 we can pull 3 of them together into one family but we cannot yet link that family with the other section which is unfortunate not least because that other section goes back quite a few generations. We hope to identify the connection in due course. | |||||||||||||||
| William Davy (a 1425, MP for Melcom, Dorset) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Robert Davy of Eberleigh | ||||||||||||||
| One section of Visitation starts with Robert of Crediton who married d/h of Thomas and was father of Gilbert of Cannotene (2nd son) & Lawrence of Midland (3rd son). Another section starts with Robert of Crediton, father of John of Sandford & Kirton, whilst yet another section starts with Robert of Crediton, father of John of Crediton. BP1934 shows this Robert of Eberleigh as married to the following Bardolph and father of 4 sons as shown below. BP1934 then follows the line of the younger John. The families of the other sons are as reported by Visitation. | |||||||||||||||
