| STILL LIVING IN... | Mary was still alive in 1533, when her son Robert was born. |
| RESIDENCES & REAL ESTATE |
Ironically, we know much more about the land Mary held than her vital statistics.
She grew up at the manor house of Prowse, in Sandford, Devonshire, England[24].
Sandford is a parish in the Hundred Of Crediton. Poughill lies just north of Sandford.
Dowrish House, Prowse and Dodderidge are adjoining manors or farms in Sandford[23],
thus explaining the intermarriage of the Prowse, Dowrish and Gye families at this time.
In her 1509 marriage settlement with John Gye, Mary brought the lands known as "Upcott" or "Uppecot" (amongst other spelling variants...) in Cheriton FitzPaine, which was located near Poughill, Devonshire, England. These are some of the lands which came down through the family via the inheritance of Roger Prowse's wife John Radford circa 1455. In 1516, she and her husband John claimed the lands of her father Thomas Prowse which lay in Poughill, Dodderidge, Ilsington and elsewhere in Devonshire, England[22]. That same year, legal action involving a fine notes the fact that the manor of Dodderidge is held by John Gye, his wife Mary and "John Prous, clerk". |
| MARRIAGE | In 1509, Mary married John GYE, son of John GYE & Elizabeth SPENCER. |
