1. Thomas Arundell of Ley, died 3 March 1574, married Thomasine, buried December 1586 at Ponghill, the daughter of Thomas Cole of Slade, widow of Roger Grenville;^[1]

Research Notes

The Visitation is somewhat confusing as it says:^[1]

• An Inquisition was held in 3 Edward for Nicholas Arundell of Trerice, in which lands were settled on Johanna his wife.
• An Inquisition post mortem was held in 2 Edward IV (which was 4 March 1462-3 March 1463), in which Johanna was the widow of Nicholas Arundell of Trerise - so maybe this is her father's IPM?
• Alexander Arundell, by deed dated 6 December 19 Edward IV, Lappford, co Devon, settled on him by his mother.
