Speaking of Stuckleys...
Does anyone have any of these Devonshire families on their radar: Stuckley,
Melhuish, and Southcombe?
I am particularly interested in the Lewis Stuckley of Afton or Affeton who
married the daughter of a Paulet of Melplash and the family of his Paulet
wife.
According to
*A View of Devonshire in MDCXXX: With a Pedigree of Most of Its Gentry*
By Thomas Westcote p. 586
"Sir Hugh Stukeley, knight, (sheriff of Devon 36th Henry VIII.,) married a
daughter of Sir Lewis Pollard of King's Nymet, and had issue Lewis, Thomas
named "The Lusty Stukeley," Amias, Agnes, (second wife to John Giles, of
Bowdon, esq.;) Audria, (first married to Yeo of Bruanton, secondly to Roger
Giffard, of Tiverton, esq.) *Lewis Stukeley, son and heir, (sheriff of
Devon 10th Elizabeth),* (married a daughter of Hill, of Helycon in
Cornwall, and had issue John, Scipio, and Hugh sans issue; *secondly he
married a daughter of Pawlet, of Melplash in Dorset*, and had issue Lewis,
Hugh sans issue, ---, (married to Anthony Pollard, of Horwood, esq.;)
Margery, (to John Hays of Witheridge.)"
John, son of Lewis, was father of Sir Lewis Stuckley, aka Judas Stuckely
for his role in the prosecution of Sir Walter Raleigh.
The earlier Lewis seems to be the same person as Lodovick Stukeley who
married Barbara, fifth daughter of Lord Thomas Poulet of Cossington and was
dead before 1587, by which time his widow was married to Thomas Melhuish of
Witheridge.
“Lord Thomas Poulet, of Cossington in the county of Somerset, second son,
married Mary, daughter and heir of Thomas Moore, of Melpash, in
Dorsetshire, and by her had, first, George Poulet, who by Alice his wife,
daughter of Thomas Pacy (or Plesey) of Holberry in Hants, was father to
Rachel, married to Philip de Carteret, Lord of St. Owen’s and Sark,
ancestor to the late Earl Granville; second, Christopher, who wedded
successively two wives, viz. — daughter of Christopher Sacheverell, and
Margaret, daughter of — Windham; third, Elizabeth, the wife of Richard
Dowse, of Morecourt in Wiltshire; fourth, Margaret, married to Robert
Frampton of Dorsetshire; fifth, *Barbara, successively wedded to Lodovick
Stukeley and Thomas Melhurst;* sixth, Philippa, married to Robert Bond of
Buckland; seventh, Mary, the wife of m William Southton, of Dorsetshire.”
*Peerage of England. ...*By Arthur Collins, p. 373
Stirnet and online trees have Lewis marrying a Jane or Janet Paulet rather
than a Barbara, but I can't find any source for that.
Connecting the Barbara above with Melhuish and Stuckley, are these extracts:

"It runs as follows : " Here lieth Barbara the wife of Thomas Melhuishe

Rose Ash, gentleman, by reason of the advowson granted to him by Thomas
Melhuish of Witheridge, gentleman, and which Melhuish has purchased of

Lewis (Dr. Oliver) Lewis Melhuish, brother of Thomas calls Gaydon,
brother-in-law.>

I have a particular interest because George Southcomb mentioned above
married two Paulet wives, according to Burke (see Southcomb of Rose Ash)
and left a son and heir (another Lewis, lots of them on the ground here) by
the first wife, Maria. So anything I can find out about the families might
help me place her. http://tinyurl.com/h2o2pyg
There's a possiblity she was Mary (said to have married a William Southton),
seventh daughter of Thomas Paulet and sister to Barbara, wife of Lewis
Stuckley and Thomas Melhuish .
