  CHART: Richard Cornewall, 5th Baron of Burford = Cecilia, d. of Sir John Merbury:
  
  RICHARD who succeeded Sir Bryan, his elder brother, as fifth Baron of the Cornewall line, was born in 1360, being served forty years of age when his eldest brother died, January 17th, 1400. As has already been stated, in 14 Rich. II. — the Thursday after S. Martin — Bryan de Cornewall, Dominus de Burford, Knight, granted to hmn and to his sister Elena for their support £10 per annum.

  CHART: Pedigree of Walcot:
  
  He married Cecilia, or according to some, Alice, daughter of Sir John Merbury, of Weobley, Knight, and by her had issue, with Matilda who married John Walcot*, of Walcot, Salop, a son, 'Edmund Cornewall', and probably a second son in William Cornewall, who was elected member for the City of Hereford in 1427. Of this latter gentleman nothing is known, and he is not included in any MS. pedigree, but as will appear, the grandson of this Richard, Baron of Burford, represented the same constituency and both are given in " Williams' Herefordshire Members "- -a volume which includes the M.P.'s for Leominster, Weobley, Bromyard, as well as for the City and County of Hereford.

  His marriage must have taken place prior to 1394, as in an escheat dated 3, Hen. V., 20th October, 1415, Thomas Wretton — or as Robinson gives it, Whitton — with other trustees granted to 'Edmund', son of Richard Cornewayle, and to' Alice his (1st) wife, half the Manor of Norton, Co. Northampton, to hold by said Edmund and Alice in tail' ; remainder to said Richard in fee ; while 4, Hen. V., 2nd June, 1416, Ricardus de Cornewalye, Armiger, Dominus de Boreford, ratifies the said grant. . . .
  In 1429 (7 King Hen. VI.) — Thursday next after the Feast of St. Gregory the Pope, 'Edmund' son of Richard Cornewalle, and 'Elizabeth his (2nd) wife, daughter of Thomas Barre' the younger deceased, appointed certain attorneys to receive seizin of the Manor of Cornewaile Ever, Bucks. Here in this seal the bordure was not engrailed, being the Cornewall arms with a label of 3 points. Legend S., Edmund Cornewayle, Esquire.
  Richard Cornewall* died January 10th, 21, Hen. VI. (1443), being as will appear, succeeded by his grandson (vide infra), the elder son of the above 'Edmund, who had married first Alice, said by some to be daughter of Sir John Merbury, of Weobley, M.P. for Herefordshire, 1419-1427. This lady, as has been shown, was living in 1417 (Vincents MS. vol. VII., Heralds College) but died in that year without issue'. The Merbury family were originally of Lyonshall. There is a recumbent effigy to John and Agnes Merbury in the north aisle of Weobley Church* — Vide "Weobley and the Timber Houses," by George Marshall in " Memorials of old Herefordshire," and " Robinson's Castles of Herefordshire." Arms of Merbury: Sa. a cross engrailed between 4 passion-nails arg.

  'The second wife of Edmund Comewall was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Barre, or De la Barre, the younger, a family of antiquity whose name survives in Barr's Court, the site of the Hereford Railway Station, and in the recently extinct family of De la Barre Bodenham of Rotherwas, one of the great mansions of the shire. The following is an excerpt from the magnificently emblazoned pedigree of De la Barre and Bodenham in the possession of Count Bodenham-Lubienski, of Bullingham and Rotherwas : — . . . . .

  'By Elizabeth De la Barre, his second wife, Edmund had Thomas, Otis, Richard, and Eleanor. Otis is stated to have been Mayor of Hereford in 1467, but this appears to be uncertain. He was M.P. for that borough in 1459, and is stated to have left by some one unknown a son, Thomas, who married Margaret Clifford, and by her had Lawrence, who by Amy, daughter of Elrond, or Stronder, described as of the North, left William. But this, though given on the authority of the Visitation, is impossible, inasmuch as Otis, and his brother Richard, both died s.p.l. The actual descent is set forth in the Star Chamber proceedings as follows : — . . . . .
