But what part of the lands or estate thereof he enjoyed (whilst Robert
and William, Earls of Morton aforesaid, his contemporaries, for thirty
years were alive, and doubtless possessed thereof, as well as his
title and dignity) hath not yet appeared to me. His chief dwelling and
place of residence was at Jutsworth, near Saltash and Trematon, where
he married and had issue one only daughter named Agnes, as some say,
others Beatrix, who was married to Reginald Fitz-Harry, base son of
King Henry I., by his concubine Anne Corbett, in whose right he was
made Earl of Cornwall, after William Earl of Cornwall aforesaid had
forfeited the same, by attainder of treason against the Conqueror and
his sons, and was deprived thereof.
This Earl Caddock, or Condor the 2nd, departed this life 1120, and
lies buried in the chancel of St. Stephen’s Church, by Saltash, and
gave for his arms, in a field Sable, 15 bezants palewise, 4, 4, 4, 2,
1. (See St. Stephen’s.)
Lambesso, Lambedo, Lambessa, in this parish, parcel of the Duchy manor
of Moris aforesaid, where heretofore was kept the prison, or place of
durance and correction, for the prisoners and offenders thereof; which
barton for several generations was the dwelling-place of the family
surnamed King, duchy tenants, till my kind friend Henry King, gent.
temp. Charles II., for want of issue, by his last will and testament
settled the same upon John Foote, gent. attorney-at-law, now in
possession thereof; who married Avery, daughter-in-law to Mr. King, by
his wife, the widow of Avery, and daughter of Lampeer, as I take it.
Query, whether Oliver King, Chaplain in ordinary to King Henry VII.,
Dean of Winchester, Register of the Noble Order of the Garter, and one
of the principal Secretaries of State to that King, created Bishop of
Exeter the 9th of February 1492, and from thence translated to Wells
1499, and died 1505, (since Isaac, in his Memorials of Exeter, saith
he was a Cornish man), were not of this family? who gave for his arms,
in a field Argent, on a chevron Sable, three escallops of the First.
Mr. Foote, as I said, married Avery, and was descended from the Footes
of Tregony; and giveth for his arms, Vert, a chevron between three
pigeons or doves Argent. His son Henry Foote, attorney-at-law, married
Gregor of Cornelly, and is, at the writing hereof, in possession of
Lambesso.[31]
Pen-are, alias Pen-ar, in this parish, parcel of the Duchy manor of
Moris aforesaid, was heretofore the dwelling of my kind friend James
Lance, Esq. a Commissioner of the Peace and Surveyor of the Duchy of
Lancaster during the Interregnum, or usurpation of Cromwell. He
married ―――― Blackston of London.
This gentleman sold this barton to Hugh Boscawen, of Tregothnan, Esq.
who settled it in marriage with his daughter Bridget, on Hugh
Fortescue, of Filley, in Devon, Esq. now in possession thereof.
