  Arms. Argent a chevron between three bats displayed Sable [Battiscombe].
...  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.
