| A. | Michael Southcott | ||||||||||||||

| a. | Michael Southcotte of Southcotte, Devon the first mentioned by Berry | ||||||||||||||
| (1) | William Southcote of Southcote | ||||||||||||||
| m. Alice Keynes (dau/heir of Philip Keynes) | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | William Southcote of Southcote | ||||||||||||||
| (i) | Nicholas Southcote of Southcote & Chudleigh | ||||||||||||||
| m. Jane Pury (dau/heir of Edmond Pury of Chudleigh) | |||||||||||||||
| Vivian notes that one source "gives another generation here, viz., William Soiuthcott = Matilda". | |||||||||||||||
| (a) | Nicholas Southcote of Southcote | ||||||||||||||
| m. Margaret Bozon (dau/coheir of John Bozons of Bozoms Hoile (Bozons Soile or Bossond Soyle), widow of John Harte, m3. John Walcott) | |||||||||||||||
| Other than to identify him as son/heir of Nicholas Southcote of Chudleigh, Visitation (Essex) starts with this generation and shows Nicholas & Margaret as parents of William (father of Elizabeth), a second William (m. Alice Tregonnell) and John Southcote (had issue), but no Thomas, with the Harleian editor numbering both the 2nd William and John as 2nd son. We follow Vivian but add the second William as possibly also of this generation. | |||||||||||||||

| ((A)) | Elizabeth Southcote | ||||||||||||||
| m. John Callard of Callard | |||||||||||||||
| As mentioned above, Visitation (Essex), but not Vivian, adds the following William as also of this generation. It then follows his line. It is perhaps possible that he was of this generation but was illegitimate? | |||||||||||||||
