Gules, a greyhound courant or between two bars argent, charged with three martles sable, in chief as many plates [Moyle or Moel]; 3. Argent, a saltire sable between four estoiles gules [Lucombe]; 4.

| A. | Sir Walter Moyle of Stevenstone (Devon) & Eastwell (Kent) (d 1470, Justice of the Common Pleas) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation, which identifies Sir Walter as the 3rd son whereas MGH reports that his father Henry was "said to be 3rd son", identifies Walter's wife as dau/coheir of John Lucomld of Cornwall (## see here ## where the wife of a Walter Moyle is named Margery, dau/coheir of a John Lucombe by Isabella Ilcome). MGH identifies her as ... | |||||||||||||||

| m. (10.02.1616) Priscilla Fotherby (b c1594, d 10.11.1661, dau of Charles Fothersby or Fotherby, Dean of Canterbury) | |||||||||||||||
| The 'KentArch' site provides various details around this generation (with notes apparently taken by different people at different times) and in one place mentions that Robert & Priscilla had 3 sons & 10 daughters and in another that they had 10 sons & 3 daughters. MGH names 3 sons + 9 daughters. | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Sir Robert Moyle of Buckwell (b 1636-7, d 02.01/06.1661, 3rd son) | ||||||||||||||
| m. (03.06.1654) Mary Toke (b 1640, dau of Nicholas Toke of Godington by Mary, dau of Sir Anthony Browne of Weald Hall) | |||||||||||||||

| Berry identifies Moyle's wife as Martha Whitfield (d 1766) but the 'KentArch' site identifies his wife as Mary Moyse. As Berry shows his mother Mary as d 1713 and his having a brother Robert who is shown by 'KentArch' as d 1808 aged 84 (so born in 1723-4), we presume that Berry has missed out a generation. | |||||||||||||||
