=== This Margaret is not the daughter of Hug ===
This Margaret is not the daughter of Hugh Courtney. As per the Revised Grenville Pedigree: "Regarding this alleged Theobald II, it is tated in the Visitations of Cornwall, 1620, that he married Margaret, daughter of Hugh Courtney, by Sir William Pole... and by Roger Granville[who wrote "The History of the Granville Family", 1895] 'his cousin Margaret, daughter of Sir Hugh Courtenay of Hacombe and Bacannock, knight, by his wife Maud Beaumont. This is followed, under Granville, in the Wallop pedigree. Unfortunately, the daughter of the Earl of Devon and Margaret de Bohun married Lord JohnCobham, and is stated in "the Complete Peerage" to have remained a widow and to be buried in Kent. Her mother, who died 1390, named her in her Will, but not as Dame Grenville. As for the substitute Haccombe connection, Biship Stafford licensed the marriage of Sir Hugh Courtenay of Haccombe 16th October, 1717, thirty-eight years after the death of their alleged son in law!"
