p. 434 Devonshire Wills here: http://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Doddiscombe-1

"Cecily, daughter and co-heir of John Doddiscombe [and] granddaughter of Ralph Doddiscombe, by Johanne, daughter and co-heir of Hugh Peverell, by Alice, daughter of Ralph Pole, by Alice Dalditch, and granddaughter and eventual co-heir of Maurice de la Pole, by Dionisia, daughter and heir of Compton... the [Worth] family became entitled to quarter the arms of Doddiscombe, Peverell, Pole, Dalditch, Compton, de Alva, and Marldon."

Does anybody know about these old families? Were the sons of Cecily's four sisters also entitled to quarter the arms of these families?

Am also curious about this family. Maurice "de Pole," otherwise named "de la Pole" in some sources, knight, is stated to be the owner and resident of the property of Compton Castle (Marldon parish, SE Devon) in the reign of Henry II. Does anyone know of any other references to Maurice, whether he was surnamed "de Pole" or "de la Pole," or his origins?

Devonshire parishes; or, The antiquities, heraldry and family history of twenty-four parishes in the archdeaconry of Totnes vol. II by Worthy, Charles (1883):164.
I looked into the Doddiscombe family in the past, I think this is about all I had for Maurice Pole.

Thanks Doug and Joe for the references. Will take the Visitations with the usual grain of salt, but that certainly helped.
