| Vivian (Devon,1895, p528) shows Thomas & Dorothy as having 3 unnamed daughters who married as shown below. Vivian (Cornwall, 1887, p391) shows Phillip Rashleigh of Fowye as married to Genet, dau of Thomas Leigh by Johanna, dau of Nicholas Barne & sister/coheir of Robert Barne. BLG1952 ('Rashleigh formerly of Menabilly') identifies Philip (of Foy)'s wife as Jennett Leigh of South Molton. It is not unlikely that the first daughter was that Genet/Jennett but, if so, it is perhaps likely that Thomas married twice. | |||||||||||||||
