Does anyone have any documentation on Armynell. I believe she was from Moreton Corbet. Thanks.

Will I am sorry, I missed this post. This Armynell was wife of Leonard Yao shown in the Visitations of Devon, Vivians Consolidated version, at Yeo of Huish, at page 835. Unfortunately, they do not know her parentage. I have read the wills of Ann Windsor and her husband, Robert of Shropshire who someone had believed were the parents, and I was unable to find her. However, it is often the case if the party predeceases the parents they are not in the Will, and are missed. But I cannot find any Corbets who would have been in Devon, except a notice of about 3 occasions in Family of Corbet Vol 2 where there was intermarrying with Moreton Corbet and Devon, but they were later. Armynell was to have lived c 1512-1578. Her Husband remarried, so it is quite possible that she did predecease parents.

continuation....

So I just got this from the British Parliamentary history of Leonard Yeo. This does not help me much, except to move Arminell back a generation, as Arminell Corbet was the widow of Chrisotpher Beresford, and Leonard Yeo actually married the Daughter of them. But it would take Armynell Corbets DOB back abut 20 years.

Leonard Yao b. by 1512, 2nd s. of Nicholas Yeo of Heanton Satchville by Joan, da. of Richard Lybbe of Tavistock. m. (1) ?27 Oct. 1534, Arminell, da. of Christopher Beresford of London, wid. of John Broke (d.1533) of London, at least 1s. 2da., (2) Denise, da. of William Dotyn of Harberton, Devon.1

Continuation.... Someone left this charmer on under Armynell in Ancestry. It is the Will of John Brooke, with Armynell his wife. This is 1533. then right after this is an Indenture between Armynell Brook, widow of John Brooke and Leonard Yeo, where he purchases the mercer business of John Brooke. They are not husband wife at this time that I can see...

The History of Totnes Priory, and Medieval Towne, page 577-578. So Now Armynell Yeo is 2nd husband, so that means she is likely born still about 1505-1510 It is

[Betty Gorrie]

So at page 580, Leonard Yeo He will pay out to the children of John Brooks, the first husband of his wife Amynell Beresford, if anyone is interested in names: Rowland, Armenell, Mary, John, Thomas & William. He then puts with the Guildford Hall for safekeeping, in the Safe, the Deeds belonging to the Orphans. He lived until 1586. I could not find any evidence where her children became of age, and likely won't based on the fact that he had put the assets in trust with others.
