Elizabeth Courtenay was born about 1503 in Loughtor, Devon, England, daughter of Philip Courtenay (~1482–1514) and Joan Fowell (~1485–1523).
Elizabeth (23) married William Strode (22) (born on June 16, 1504 in Plympton St Mary, Devon; son of Sir Richard Strode) in 1527 in Loughtor.
Their children were:
William III Strode (1512–1579) (son), married his neighbour Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter and heiress of Philip Courtenay of Loughtor, a younger son of Sir Philip I Courtenay (d.1488) of Molland in North Devon.[23] Thus Loughtor passed into the possession of the Strode family.[24] The mansion house of the estate of Loughtor was situated within the parish of Plympton St Mary, on a hill about 1/3 mile north-east of Newnham, and to this site the Strode family later moved its residence, where in about 1700 a new mansion house was built near or on the site of Loughtor House and named "Newnham Park",[25] which survives today.
The Courtenay family of Molland were a junior branch of the Courtenay family of Powderham, itself a junior branch of the Courtenay Earls of Devon, feudal barons of Plympton and feudal barons of Okehampton, seated at Tiverton Castle.
The canopied effigy of William Courtenay of Loughtor survives, in a mutilated state, in St Mary's Church, Plympton. The 6th son of William III Strode (1512–1579) was Rev. Sampson Strode (born 1552), rector of Dittisham, whose great-great-grandson was Richard Strode (1750–1790) of Boterford, who inherited the ancient estates of the senior Strodes on the failure of the male line of Strode of Newnham, following the death in 1767 of William Strode of Newnham.[26] The 4th son was Philip Strode (d.1605) who married Wilmot Houghton, daughter of William Houghton of Houghton Towers, Lancaster, and was the father of William Strode (1602–1644), Doctor of Divinity and Public Orator of Oxford University, one of the Worthies of Devon of John Prince (d.1723),[27] who called him "this reverend divine, this rare poet, this charming orator".(2)
Elizabeth died after October 4, 1581 in Newnham, Plympton St. Mary, Devon, aged about 77.
