3 ROGER was heir to his father Roger, and lived in the reign of Edward II. ; his son and heir was

4 John Cole, of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, who, in 1324, was described as "John Cole de Tamer, Man-at-Arms, || and returned by the Sheriff of the county of Devon, pursuant to Writ tested at Westminster, 9 May, as summoned by proclamation to attend the Great Council at Westminster, on Wednesday after Ascension Day, 30 May, 17 Edward 11." In the 9th of Edward III

(1335) he had free warren in Tamer, Lydeston, Hokesbere, and Hutenesleigh in the county of Devon, and in Eispematt ;* and it appears by a Fine of 15 Edward III. (1341) that he was possessed of the manors of Eespnel in the county of Cornwall, Launceston, and

Stokley, and of the manor of Uptamer, Nytheway, and Hutenesleigh, the third part of the manor of Winston, and divers other lands in the county of Devon. He left a son and heir.

Sir John Cole, knight, of Nythway, in the parish of Brixham, who, on 25th July, 4 Eichard 11. (1380) was "knighted (before the castle of Ardres) in Fraunce, by the Earl of Buckingham Thomas of Woodstock, Lord Deputy there for the King,"-f* and who married Anne, daughter and heiress to Sir Nicholas Bodrugan,J knt., by

whom he had issue,

6 WILLIAM Cole (called Sir William Cole of Tamar, knt., by De la Pole, and also in a Herald's Visitation of Devon), who married Margaret, daughter of Sir Henry Beaupell, knt, and by her was the father of

7 Sir John Cole, knt, who was in " the Eetynew of the Duke of Gloucester * at the Battell of Agincourt on Fryday, the XXVth day of October in the yere of our Lord God, 1415, and in the Third yere of the Eeigne of the most Excellent Prince, King Harry the Fifte ;" and it is probable that he received his spurs for his conduct on that glorious field. He married Agnes, daughter of

Sir Fitzwarine, knt., and had issue four sons, viz : —

I. Sir Adam Cole, knt., his heir, who succeeded at Uptamer and Nythway, and marrying Elizabeth,-f- daughter of Sir Richard Weston, knt, had a son John, the father of John, who left issue only two daughters, his co-heirs, viz. : — Elizabeth, married to Sir John Huddy, of Stowell, co. Somerset, Chief Justice of England ; and Joane, married to John Anne of co, Gloucester. Sir Adam also married Margaret, -f* daughter of Sir Henry de la Pomeroy, knt., and their sole daughter,* married John

Holbeame of Holbeame, in co. Devon, esq., and had issue William Holbeame, Sir William de la Pole adds, "from Margaret, wife of Adam Cole, is descended Baynham of Gloucestershire."

+ There is a discrepancy amongst the authorities as to the name of the wife of Sir Adam Cole ; for Sir Wm. De la Pole, at p. 282 of his History of Devonshire, gives

it as Margaret (the daughter of Sir Henry de la Pomeroy, knt.), whilst the Visitations of Devon, in 1562-4-5, and 1620 (Harl : MSS. 1538-889-1080-1091-1399-3288-4031-5185), and Segar, in the pedigree that he compiled for Sir Wm. Cole, as'sert it to be Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Richard Weston, knt., of Wilts.

It is quite possible that they all maybe correct, and that he may have taken to wife both Elizabeth and Margaret, as stated in the text. This supposition is supported

by the abstract of a deed, which recites that ** Sir Adam Cole and Margaret, his wife, granted," &c., &c..

Whoever she may have been, it is obvious that Segar could never have supposed Ac that the dat^ttached to that deed, 3 Richard II. (1380), could be any where near the period when Sir Adam existed. For it is not possible that he could have been living about that time, and yet be the 7th in descent from Wm. Cole of Hutenesleigh, who lived in 1243, only 145 years previously ; or that he could be the uncle of Sir Simon Cole of Blade, who died circa 12 Henry VII. (1497), more than 117 years afterwards. These dates are reliable, and the relationships are attested by Segar himself. It is clear therefore that he has unwittingly committed an anachronism with regard to this knight. This was owing, perhaps, to there having been an Adam Cole, who lived about 1380, and who, it appears, from Kymer's Fadera, vol. III., part 2, p. 1078, was charged by King Edward III., by letter, dated 14 May, in the 51st year of that monarch's reign (1377), to prevent the landing of the French on the coast of Devon. At p. 1002 of vol. III. of the Fcedera^ it is stated that this (?) Adam, in 48 Edward III., a.d. 1377, was master of the ship " Le Christophre" of Southampton. These entries sufl&ciently prove that he could not be the same person

as the Sir Adam Cole of Uptamer.

The name seems to have been a favourite one, for in 1305 and 1307, there was an Adam Cole, who was the Burgess returned to Parliament for Ilchester, in Somersetshire, (Palgrave's WritH of Summons^ &c.). Clutterbuck's Hertfordshire^ also makes mention of an Adam Cole who, in 1277, held a moiety of 1 virgate of

land inWalkened, Herts ; the other moiety being held by Robert Cole.
