Joan Wibbery, wife of John Bonville, was the daughter of John Wibbery and wife Leva Gorges, who was descended from the senior Gorges line seated at Tamerton Foliot.[1][2][3] Joan's mother Leva Gorges' second husband was Thomas Bonville, father of Joan Wibbery's husband John Bonville.[4]
Sir William Pole, following the descent of Tamerton Foliot to the Coplestons, appears to have gotten the Gorges/Wibbery connection a bit scrambled:
"John Gorges had issue Raph, which had issue John, which married Agnes, daughter and co-heire of John Doddescomb.... John Gorges had issue Raph, which had issue John, which by Elizabeth his wief had issue John, which by Leva his wief, daughter and heire of John Wibbery, had issue Jone, wief of John Bonvill, of Shut, [which] had issue Ann, wife of Philip Copleston of Copleston, since which time this land hath contynewed in the name & famyly of Copleston..."[5]
