John Pollard of Waye and Horwood, Devonshire (a 1390)
m. Emma Doddiscombe (dau of Sir John Doddiscombe)
BLG1952 starts with this John but shows only John and Robert as his sons and, as it does not identify his wife, is confirmed as the same John only because it refers to another article in BLG1952 (on a Pollard family based in Somerset to which we have not yet found a connection) which does identify his wife as Emma. Visitation (Devon) also starts with John & Emme but shows their sons as Walter, Richard and Roger. We show all 5 as sons but note that the discrepancies between the sources suggests that the connections shown between the branches of this family may not be secure.
