fast and furious

I seem to be hot on the trail of the Newburgh/Newbery family who populated Stockland.  In the 1497 lists of the people who were involved in the Perkin Warbeck saga, there was a John and William Newbery who were involved in protecting Perkin as Yorkists.  So we have a peg in the map now showing they were there. 
 
Now a document from the British Archives has been uncovered showing a William Newbery who was trying to retrieve rights to the parsonage held by his ancestors, William and Adam Attemore who were brothers.  These two brothers held land all over Dorset.  This string of people is beginning to run in an unbroken line that previous historians have flung to the wind letting the pieces fall where they may.

History writes in 25 Edward III 1351
“Richard Maury, abbot of Milton, and his convent to grant the manors of Stockland [now in Devon] except the advowson of the vicarage, with the hamlets of Up-Sydling, Ellstone, and Loscombe [in Sydling] and Lye [in Stockland] and the guesthouse of the abbey with its curtilage to Thomas Cary, William Atte Moore, and Adam Attemoore for the life of the said Richard.”

Additionally I discovered that the manor of Wootton Glanville was at one time held by Milton Abbey, which is another important part of the Newburgh family legacy.  It was originally held by Adam Attemore’s son Robert and was  handed down to his daughter Edith Attemore who took it to her marriage with John Newburgh Esquire!
​
The pieces are falling into place fast!  I will be reporting on this when the translation comes back for this document.  Pery vs. Newbery  C 1/1254/23-26
