[This page was originally entitled Strode1 but was renamed on 15.12.07.]
| The Strodes were at their manor at Strode in the time of King Henry III (1216-1272). In the time of Henry IV (1399-1413), Sir John Strode of Strode married the heiress of nearby Newnham Park (Devon) and the family moved to that estate. Descended from them was ... | |||||||||||||||

| The estate of Newnham passed down through his decendants. BLG1952 reports that William Strode of Newnham (who d unm 27.07.1767) was the last of his line who was succeeded by Richard Strode of Boterford shown below as a descendant of Samson Strode, Canon of Exeter. However, BLG1863 and 1886 suggests that that Richard was great-great-great-grandson of Sir RIchard's younger brother William (of Meavy Church). | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Catherine Strode (dau of Sir Robert Strode of Parnham) | |||||||||||||||
| m2. Elizabeth Erle (d 1652, dau of Thomas Erle of Charborough) | |||||||||||||||
| Dionysia is shown in the article on the Drake baronets within TCB as being 8th daughter of Sir Richard by his second wife whom it names as Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. We follow BLG1952 and note that the earlier editions of BLG referred to below do not identify his wives' names whilst BP1934 (Sackville) does not show Thomas, 1st Earl, as having a daughter called Elizabeth. Further support comes from the Erle family source which shows Elizabeth Erle as married to Sir Richard Strode of Devon. | |||||||||||||||
