NOTES

from "Families Directly Descended from All the Royal Families in Europe" (citations below):

"...RICHARD MARCHE (WM.), of Sherford, County Devon, died before 29 April, 1612. He married Joane (? Martyn), the testatrix of 21 May, 1616, who died between that date and 10 June, 1616, when the inventory of her estate was taken. She was probably a sister of Rev. Henry Martyn, vicar of Rattery, County Devon, the testator of 13 November, 1619, or of his wife, Lucy Martyn, administration on whose estate was granted 20 September, 1639, for, since Elizabeth March, of Rattery, spinster, daughter of Richard and Joane Marche, in her will proved 14 May, 1619, called Mr. Henry Martyn her uncle, there can be little doubt that Elizabeth's mother was Henry Martyn's sister or sister-in-law.

Wm. Marche, father of Richard Marche, in his will dated 29 April, 1612, had bequeathed to each of his seven children of his (the testa tor's) son Richard, deceased, 6s. 8d., and had made his daughter in-law, Joane Marche, his residuary legatee and executor. In her own will, dated 21 May, 1616, and proved 21 June, 1616, Joane Marche of Sherford, widow, disposed of an estate appraised (accord ing to inventory of 10 June, 1616) at £140 7s. including apparel."
