I'm interested in knowing if any descendants have been traced
for Walter de Cornwall, the illegitimate son of Richard
Plantagenet, Earl of Cornwall. My research that Walter received
land in Brannel, Cornwall in 1300 by gift of his half brother,
Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, and that Walter died in 1313, leaving
as his heir, a son William, aged 26.
Does anyone know if Walter de Cornwall's son, William, left
descendants or if Walter had any other children? I say that
because I show that sometime prior to 1314, Walter enfeoffed
James Peverel and his wife, Margaret, with lands in Nansbighen,
Cornwall. Is it possible that Margaret was Walter's daughter?
James Peverel and Margaret, his wife, mentioned here appear to
have been the great-grandparents of Katherine Peverel (born say
1380), wife of Walter Hungerford (died 1449), lst Lord
Hungerford, Lord High Treasurer of England. Among the manors
of Katherine's Peverel inheritance appears to have been the
manor of Nansyrgh, Cornwall [Reference: Calendar of Close Rolls,
1435-1441 (published 1937), pp. 217-9, 227-8]. One source
identifies Nansyrgh as Nanjeth in the parish of St. Stephen in
Brannel. By any chance, is Nansyrgh/Nanjeth identical with the
lands in Brannel conveyed to Walter de Cornwall in 1295, by
Edmund, Earl of Cornwall? If so, then I presume that Katherine
Peveral might be a descendant and perhaps lineal heir of Walter
de Cornwall. If so, then Katherine (Peverel) Hungerford might
possibly have a valid descent from King John of England, via his
son, Richard, Earl of Cornwall.
For interest's sake, the following eleven immigrants descend
from Katherine (Peverel) Hungerford:
1. Humphrey Davie of Mass.
2. Mary (Launce) Sherman of Mass.
3. John Nelson
4. Thomas Owsley
5. Elizabeth Pelham, wife of Col. John Humphrey, of Mass. (she
died in England).
6. Herbert Pelham of Mass.
7. Edward Raynsford of Mass.
8. Maria Johanna Somerset of Md.
9. John Stockman
10. John West of Va.
11. George Yate of Md.
Please contact me if anyone has any helpful particulars. Best
always, Douglas Richardson
