... A John Battiscomb, who purchased Veres Wotton of Wm. Mountford
before 13 Henry VI., heads the pedigree of his family in the 1623
Visitation and left male issue. He therefore cannot be identical with
the John of Bridport who left an only daughter and heiress, Alice. One
of these two was M.P. 8, 9, and 11 Henry VI., but which one?
This deed refers to Christine Bettiscombe "late the wife of John
Bettiscombe" selling land to William Olyver, the son of John's daughter
Alice. This could indicate that John had a second wife, Christine, or that
the marriage to "Jane" given in the Visitation is incorrect.
