General Notes

I have updated my Valletort lines to agree with the following post to SGM, 19 Aug 1996, by Todd Farmerie:

I have been asked to post a pedigree of Valletort.  What follows is derived
from a series of articles in Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries.  I
accept neither the credit nor the blame for the majority of it.

D&CN&Q 19:320-2;  20:146-153 (or perh 144-151, I accidentally punched out
the page numbers);  20:247-54;  20:289-94;  20:330;  20:354-61.

The exception is with the Tremeton line, which was first published in
Transactions of the Devonshire Association, 67:253-84 (on the Hundred of
Harberton).  I have not seen this, and the authors in the D&CN&Q articles
present confusing and contradictory versions, due it would seem to error
rather than correction.  I have reconstructed it from what is provided in
the D&CN&Q articles, and from memory.

I am particularly interested in the North Tawton line, and would welcome
any information regarding the wives of this line, and their ancestry.
