  • The Heligan estates were so settled upon Thomas Flamank and his issue as not to be affected by his attainder, but were carried by Johanna his daughter and heir in marriage to Peter 'Fauntleroy, whose daughter and heir carried them in marriage to Robert Hill. In 38th Henry VIII (1546) Robert Hill, described as of Heligan, and Margaret his wife were complainants in a case in Chancery against Gilbert Flamank, concerning, inter alia, the manor of Heligan, when the said Margaret was found to be the heir, not only of Peter Fauntleroy and Johanna his wife, but also of Richard Flamank and Johanna his wife, father and mother of Thomas Flamank, grandfather of the said Margaret, and it was decreed that the said Robert Hill and Margaret his wife should quietly enjoy the said manors and lands, and that all evidences, deeds, and rolls, etc., should be delivered up to them. In 1566 Robert Hill and

  • 'Margaret his wife suffered a fine to Humpbrey Nichols in the manors of Heligan, Cabilia, and Trehudreth, whereby the said manors were settled upon the said Robert and Margaret for life, with remainder to Humphry Hill, third son of Robert and Margaret, and the heirs of his body, in default remainder to John Hill, second son, for life, remainder to Maurice Hill and his heirs males, in default remainder to the right heirs of the said Robert and Margaret. Humphry Hill and John Hill both died before their father. The latter died in 1575, when, under this settlement, the manor devolved upon his wife Margaret for life, and a complaint was laid in Chancery by Maurice Hill, son and heir of Giles Hill, son and heir of the said Robert and Margaret, that the said Margaret had secretly granted estates for life in the said lands unto John Lavelis and Mary his wife, and Thomas Harrys and Ann his wife.

  • The pedigree of the family of Hill of Heligan, recorded at the Herald's Visitation of Cornwall in 1620, which is attested by "Humphrye Hyll," commences with 'Robert Hill, or Hyll, who married Margaret' daughter and heir of Peter Fauntleroy. A pedigree in the British Museum carries the pedigree several generations higher, stating that this 'Robert Hill', was the son of Giles Hill, the son of Robert Hill, the son of Ralph Hill, the son of John Hill of Spaxton, by a second marriage with Maud daughter of Sir Giles Daubenay. Whether any portion of these descents may be accurate or not we cannot say, but it is certain that John Hill of Spaxton had no son, as we have already shown (Hist, of Trigg, vol. ii, p. 28). He died in 1455, leaving as his heir, by Margaret daughter of Sir William Rodney, an infant daughter, aged eight weeks. This young lady, in due time, became the wife of Sir William Saye of Broxbourne, co. Herts, and died before her husband sp., and the estates devolved upon the issue of her aunts as her nearest heirs. (Vide Ped. ibid pp. 42, 43.)
  • ' It is not improbable that the Hills settled in St. Maben before the marriage of Robert Hill with the heiress of Fauntleroy', for we find a certain John Hill, senior, assessed to the subsidy there upon goods, at the comparatively high rate of £10 in 1524, and from the Return, Appendix I. C, it appears that John Hyll, senior, John Hyll, junior, and Henry Hyll, had goods in common of that amount, and possessed arms for one man. The marriage alluded to took place before 1543, for in that year we find 'Robert Hill assessed upon lands of the value of £20 per annum. He was again assessed in St. Maben in 1559, and in 1571, but at a reduced rate of £12. He died in 1575, and his grandson Maurice Hill probably succeeded him, as we have no mention of his son Giles.
