| Sir Richard Cradock alias Newton of Newton in Pembrokeshire (bur 12.1449) | |||||||||||||||
| 'Herald & Genealogist' shows Richard's wife as Emma Harvey of London "Domina de Wyke", showing her as mother of John. Some web sites show Emma Perrot as mother of Thomas and Emma Harvey as mother of John. Meyrick shows Emma Perrot as mother of John & Richard, identifying John as ancestor of the baronets of Barrs Court (and, wrongly, of the family of Gunwarby and of Sir Issac Newton). BEB1841 shows Emma Perret (sic) as mother of John (m. Isabel Chedder, no children mentioned) & Thomas and then follows the line of Thomas reporting that he married Joan, dau/heir of Sir John Barr of Barrs Court, and was ancestor of the baronets. TCB reports that there is "an account of of this family in H.T. Ellacombe's History of Bitton (correcting Atkyns' Gloucesteshire), where the direct descent, generally attributed to this family, from Joan, da. and heir of Sir John Barr, of Barrscourt, is disproved". [We have found Ellacombe's 'History of Bitton' vol 2 but that does not provide an account of the family. We presume that it is in vol 1 of that work which we have not yet seen.] The following is an attempt to pull together the information provided by the different sources we have found, normally giving precedence to 'Herald & Genealogist' albeit not with the identification of Richard's wife whom (provisionally) we show as ... | |||||||||||||||

Poyntz, and had Henry + 5 other sons + 13 daughters. BEB1841 identifies the John who m. Margaret Pointz as grandson of the Sir Thomas (son of Chief Justice Richard & husband of Joan Barr) and son of John of Barrs Court by Margaret, dau of Sir Edmund Gage of Wraxwell. Noting that BLG1952 ('Poyntz of Harestock Close') shows such a lady as having a sister Mary who m. Sir Edward Gorges of Wraxall, we follow BEB1841 in identifying John's wife as ... | |||||||||||||||
