Burke's Extinct Baronetcies, that she was the only daughter of Joan Portman

Burke's Landed Gentry, that she was the second daughter of Joan Portman

She married
Edward /Berkeley/ of Pylle, Somerset; esq

He has a will 1669 in which she is yet living
I then found
Philip Berkeley buried at
St Thomas a Becket, Pylle, Somerset

It is said that
Edward /Berkeley/ of Pylle, Somerset; MP; Ho
was her first son

However this is not true

The baptismal register of Pylle, is published at Ancestry

Register of Pylle, Somerset
Henry son of Edward Berkeley and Philip his wife was baptised Aug 1642
- wj

Evidently Henry died young

Sorry I meant to say that Philip Speake was buried
Mar 1687

St Thomas a Becket, Pylle, Somerset

This Philip(pa) was evidently named for her aunt, also Philip Speake who m Edward Bridger esq

I had thought until today, that the George Speake died 1637 was the husband of the younger Philip
But in his will dated 1637 he names *over and over ad naseum* the children of his son-in-law Bridger
So clearly this will is for the senior George Speake who was born 1553/1557 "elder son" of

George /Speke/ of Whitelackington, co Som; Knt; MP; Ho
by Elizabeth /Luttrell/
First wife, second husband
