Born about 1403, Elizabeth was likely the eldest child of Sir Walter Hungerford, later Baron Hungerford,[1] and his first wife Katherine (Catherine) Peverell. She was daughter and coheir of Thomas PEVERELL, MP, of Parke and Hamatethy in Cornwall, by Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas COURTENAY. [2]
She married Sir Philip Courtenay, (1404–1463) of Powderham, Devon. On her marriage she took to her husband as her marriage portion the manor of Molland in North Devon, which was then inherited by her second son Sir Philip I Courtenay of Molland (who died in 1488), who founded a junior branch of the Courtenay family. A fragment of an ancient chest tomb in Molland Church displays two interlaced Hungerford sickles (the ancient symbol of the Hungerford family) and a dolphin of Courtenay of Powderham. Her third son was Peter Courtenay (c.1432-1492) Bishop of Exeter and Bishop of Winchester, whose splendid surviving mantlepiece in the Bishop's Palace, Exeter displays much heraldry including Hungerford sickles and Peverell garbs.[3]
The marriage likely occuring c. 1425, they had 7 sons (Sir William; Sir Philip; Peter, Bishop of Exeter & Winchester; Sir Walter; Edmund; Humphrey; & Sir John) & 4 daughter (Anne, wife of Sir Thomas Grenville; Elizabeth, wife of Sir James Luttrell, of Sir Humphrey Audley, & of Thomas Malet, Esq; Philippe, wife of Sir Thomas Fulford; & Katherine, wife of Sir St. Clere Pomeroy, of Thomas Rogers, & of Sir William Huddesfield).[4]

Hungerford-909 and Hungerford-3 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same profile based on family relationships. The birth date for Hungerford-909 was just a guess and Hingerford-3 has the correct details.
I now live in Costa Rica and left all my research with a cousin back in the States. I had something, just cannot remember what it was ,that linked them. I have a few things of the Rogers Family I did bring with me. I check and see if any of it goes back that far.
