Elizabeth held these lands in dower after the death of Warin. He held these third parts with the other two parts in virtue of a grant by Adam Prestre, clerk , by a fine of 1365 [CP 25(1)/288/47, no.647].

By this fine Prestre granted to John Lerchedekene and Cecily for their lives 5 messuages, 2 mills, 11 1/2 carucates, 12 a. meadow, 11 a. pasture, 120 1/2 a. wood and £20 11s.6d. rent in Leigham, Coleridge, South Tawton, Lobb, Churchill, Pickwell, Higher Ham, Netherham, Hasland, Withy Bridge, Hoodown, Buckland and Manadon. Of this, 1 messuage, 2 carucates, 12 a. meadow and 3 a. pasture in Withy Bridge and Hoodown were to remain after the deaths of John and Cecily to Robert (brother of John, Odo, Richard, Warin and Ralph) their son and his heirs male, with successive remainders in default of such heirs to his brothers Warin, Ralph and Richard and their heirs male in turn.

One messuage, 1 mill, 3 carucates, 100 a. wood, and 26s. rent in Leigham and Coleridge were to remain similarly to Warin, son of John and Cecily, and his heirs male, with successive remainders in default of such heirs to his brothers Ralph and Richard and their heirs male.

One messuage and 1 carucate in Manadon with lands in Cornwall, described as 1 messuage, 1 mill, 2 carucates, 12 a. pasture and 6d. rent in Dinnerdake, Furzenapp, Upham, Cadson, Crift, Hayfield, Cadson Bury and Manaton, were to remain similarly to Ralph, son of John and Cecily, and his heirs male, with successive remainders in default of such heirs to his brothers Warin and Richard and their heirs male.

The manor of Buckland in the Moor, described as 1 messuage, 2 carucates and 41s. rent in Buckland and Oakford, was to remain similarly to Reynold (brother of Martin, Robert, John, Odo, Richard, Warin and Ralph), son of John and Cecily, and his heirs male, with successive remainders in default of such heirs to his brothers Warin, Ralph and Richard and their heirs male.

John and Cecily are dead. Robert, Ralph and Reynold died without heirs male. Richard had issue Thomas, who is still living. Richard died, and Warin died without heirs male. Therefore Thomas is heir to all the third parts held by Elizabeth in dower of Warin.
