William Peverell, of Balderston

From "The Peverell's of Dorset" Notes & Queries for Somerset and Dorset, Volume 1 by C. J. Creed, 1890 - Dorset (England).  Page 87-88

Concerning the rest of this branch of the family I can add nothing to Hutchins’s account until we come down to WILLIAM PEVERELL, of Burdolston, 8 Henry VIII, [1516-17] His wife was jane, daughter of Philip Baskerville, of Sherborne, Dorset. She survived her first husband, and married Sir John Mervyn of Fountel Gifford, whose first wife she became. She was buried at Fountel. 

William Peverell had an only daughter and heiress,JANE PEVERELL, who married, first, Nicholas Meggs of Downham. By him she had a son,Lawrence Meggs. Bradford Peverell was held by his descendants until 1770. 

Although Hutchins says she died in 1578,and that Nicholas Meggs died ‘circa 1579,’ thus making her predecease her husband, he states in his acccount of the Churchills that Roger Churchill, of Catherstone, married Jane, daughter of William Peverell, and widow of Nicholas Meggs. 

This latter statement is no doubt correct, as we find in the Chancery Proceedings of the time of Queen Elizabeth that “joan Churchill, wz'dow,” had a suit brought against her by Thomas Lye, concerning damage to lands, and title deeds of lands held of the manor of Muckleford, in the parish of Bradford Peverell, and a tenement in Grymeston, held in fee. The manor of Muckleford had been held by the Peverells of Bradford Peverell, and seems, with other lands, to have passed on the death of Robert Buller, the grandson of John Peverell of Bradford, to the Peverells of Burdolston.
