Lawsuit specifying Honora Hockmore’s descent from Gregory Hockmore

The wills listed above name the heirs for each subsequent generation, with the exception of Gregory Hockmore, whose will I wasn’t able to find; however, he is referenced as the father of Gregory Hockmore in two legal documents cited above.
Furthermore, the possession of Michell manors by the Gould family seems to ultimately support this line of descent:

Cannington:

The research above also confirms the relevant part of the Hockmore pedigree from Vivian’s Visitiations of Devon:

In addition to the descent from Edward III detailed above, I believe the following Hockmore spouses are descendants of Edward I:
1. Mary Floyer, daughter of William Floyer and Elizabeth Kirke (both through Carew/FitzAlan/Despenser/de Clare and Carew/Courtney/de Bohun)
[as per Brad Verity’s previous post]

2. Jane Michell, daughter of Sir Bartholomew Michell (via Genealogics through Fitzjames/Bluett/St. Maur/Brooke/Braybrooke/de la Pole/Cobham/Courtney/de Bohun)
[link to her great-grandfather’s Genealogics page]
https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00232237&tree=LEO
3. Mary Reynell, daughter of Sir Richard Reynell and Mary Reynell of Creedy-Widger (via Genealogics through Periam/Prideaux/Yorke/Lutrell/Courtney/de Bohun)
[link to her mother’s Genealogics page]
https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00727267&tree=LEO
4. Honor Hele, daughter of Sir Thomas Hele and Elizabeth Elwes (via Genealogics both through Champernowne/Courtney/de Bohun and Carew/FitzAlan/Despenser/de Clare)
[link to her great-grandfather’s Genealogics page]
https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00431240&tree=LEO
5. Mary Prestwood, daughter of George Prestwood and Mary Isaac (via Genealogics through Stroude/Courtney/de Bohun)
[link to her father’s Genealogics page]

I would appreciate your input on:
1) Confirming the accuracy of the above
2) Identifying any additional lineages from Edward I or Edward III (if any).
3) Identifying Sir Bartholomew Michell’s wife (if possible). I didn’t see any reference to her in any of sources I consulted, and I came across only one pedigree for the Michells. The Popham pedigree immediately below it extends the Michell pedigree
by providing some details about the children of Elizabeth Popham and Richard Michell.
