| CTG (vol 7, 'Notes on the Family of Hody') reports that the pedigree on the family in the 1623 Visitation to Somerset starts with John of Stowell,who is (wrongly) shown as father of (Sir John) the Chief Justice but we cannot see the family within our copy of the Harleian Society's edition of that Visitation. Futhermore, Vivian reports that the early generations of his pedigree on the family come from the 1620 Visitation to Devon but we cannot see the family within our copy of the Harleian Society's edition of that Visitation either! Nevertheless, Vivian starts with Sir John who is shown as father, by Margaret Cole (the heiress of Nethway), of Sir John of Stowell, the Chief Justice. CTG reports that Sir John's will identifies John as his uncle and names his father Thomas. It is noted that CTG, which does not follow generations after the Chief Justice's children, spells the family name as "Hody" whilst Vivian uses "Huddy" for generations identified as covered by Visitation (Devon, 1620) and "Hody" for later generations. | |||||||||||||||
