    Prefix Sir 
    Suffix [ONS gp] Kt. 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born Est 1420 
    • Based on approximate dobs of father and of sons.
      Vivian shows this William as Sheriff of Devon 5 Hen. VI (1426-7) which would mean he could not have been born in 1420, but interestingly the list of Sheriffs on Wikipedia has Sir William Courtney, not Bampfield, as Sheriff in 1426, and although several following generations did serve a term as Sheriff there is no entry for William in the list.
