IT INCORRECTLY STATES THAT HENRY BODRUGAN THE SON OF OTTO, AND HIS WIFE ISABELLE WHALESBOROUGH, HAD 3 SONS: WILLIAM, OTTO & NICHOLAS. THIS IS WRONG. THE 3 SONS WERE IN FACT HIS BROTHERS. HENRY DIED, AGED 20, LEAVING NO ISSUE, HIS NEXT HEIR BEING HIS BROTHER WILLIAM. THIS IS CLEARLY EVIDENT FROM HENRY'S IPM. THIS IS AN UNRELIABLE SOURCE IN SO FAR AT IT RELATES TO THE BODRUGAN FAMILY. pg 42 (1) The sons of the said Thomas [Cole] of London, were (2) William Cole of London, who died 6 February 1600 (43 Eliz.) and having married Anne, daughter of Michael Colles of Bradwell in county of Buckingham, had iffue by her who died in 1600, two fons and one daughter Margaret, who married Robert Nave of London, Merchant, fon of —— Nave of Norfolk, Efq. — His fons were, William, (who married Elizabeth, daughter of Nathanael Deards of London, (Silkman) and had iffue Arthur; William; Michael; Humphry; Nathanael; Thomas; and Robert); and Thomas who was of the Inner-Temple London, and in 1630 was aged 42 years, he married Catharine, daughter of John Warnett of Fransfield in Suffex, Gent. and had iffue Richard, aged 4 years in 1630; Thomas who died young; John aged 1 year in 1630; William aged 4 months in fame year; and Sufan, who died young.

  6. Title: Pedigree Charts in "The Genealogie or Pedegree" by Sir William Segar, Garter
    Author: Book: Coles Of Devon, 1867 (25.html) by James Edwin-Cole Source 7:www Genealogy or pedegree of the .... Sir William Cole... written in 1630 by Segar, William, Sir, -1633
    Publication: Name: http://ephotocaption.com/a/25/1391150.pdf;
    Note: There are 33 pages of Charts of the Cole Family and the collateral lines drawn from the original Cole Pedigree dated 1585. This is copied from the original Roll, in the possession of the Right Honourable the Earl of Enniskillen. This information was compiled by Sir William Segar, Garter in 1630, referencing the family of Thomas Cole who compiled the Escheats. William Segar, Garter was the Principall King of Armes. Wikipedia: Sir William Segar (c. 1554–1633) was a portrait painter and officer of arms to the court of Elizabeth I of England; he became Garter King of Arms under James I. He had the responsibility of granting coats of arms to noble families. THE PEDIGREE AS IT RELATES TO THE BODRUGAN FAMILY CONTAINS ERRORS. Firstly, it incorrectly shows that Henry Bodrugan the son of Otto, and his wife Isabelle Whalesborough, had 3 sons: William, Otto & Nicholas. This is wrong. the 3 sons were in fact his brothers. Henry died, aged 20, leaving no issue, his next heir being his brother William. This is evident from Henry's IPM. Secondly, the pedigree conflates William the bastard son of Otto Bodrugan with William Bodrugan the son of Ralph Treneweth. This is an unreliable source in so far at it relates to the Bodrugan family.
  7. Title: Family histories and genealogies
    Publication: Name: https://archive.org/details/familyhistoriesg12sali/page/618/mode/1up;
    Note: Marie Rosewarne added this note below in all caps. The IPMs, or Inquisitions Post Mortem, provide a lot of information on this family, and this is in regard to her opinion and interpretation of some IPMs. It should be noted that they are not always 100% correct, i.e. the birth dates or ages of children in the Sergeaux family vary widely in each of a half dozen IPM's. They are also subject to interpretation since several men of the same name are alive in the same century, and keeping the generations apart can be confusing. Marie disagrees with some of the generations within the Cole Family Pedigree Charts which were assembled from heraldic Visitation pedigrees. (She has altered my "Notes" in sources and deleted many of the IPM's I have attached in the tree.) Personally, I believe all sources should be attached, and comments made about them in an effort to share information and collaborate. Maybe she just used all caps to distinguish her note from the quoted text. THIS SOURCE IS INCORRECT IN STATING THAT NICHOLAS BODRUGAN WAS THE SON OF HENRY BODRUGAN AND ISABELLA WHALESBOROUGH. HENRY DIED, AGED 20, LEAVING NO HEIRS AS IS MADE CLEAR IN HIS IPM. HIS NEXT HEIR WAS HIS BROTHER WILLIAM. NICHOLAS WAS ANOTHER BROTHER OF HENRY AND SON OF OTTO. Cole ancestry begins on page 618. "Family histories and genealogies" provides the family information for the Bodrugan family. Henry de Bodrugan "married Sibylla, sister and heir to Walter de Maundeville. Henry was a knight of the shire in the 35th year of Edward I [1307]; and in the 3rd year of Edward II (1310) he was summonded to Parliament as a Baron, but died about this time. He was seised of the manor of Tregerion, etc., in Cornwall. His son Sir Otto de Bodrigan was in the 17th year of Edward II. a knight of the shire [1324]; in 1324 he went by the King's license on a religious pilgrimage to Spain. He married Margaret daughter of Sir William Champernon, Knt. "Sir Otto de Bodrigan died in the 6th year of Edward III. [1333], possessed of Bodrugan and a considerable estate in Cornwall. His son Sir Henry de Bodrugan married Isabell, daughter of William Wallesborow of Whalesborough, in Cornwall, and had Nicholas, who had Nicholas, whose daughter and heir Anne married Sir John Cole of Nythway. Segar [Garter King of Arms who was authorized to conduct the heraldic Visitations] remarks that "This match of Sir John Cole, Knt., with the daughter and heiress of Nicholas Bodrugan, and the descents following, are proved by divers auncient Rolls, Bookes, and Pedigrees, remaining in the Office of Arms, London, 1630.""
