  Origins
  Notes	Worthy noted that in 1688: "1688. Administration to the effects of Elizabeth Wreyford of Morchard Bishop. Granted to Matthew Wreyford her brother 3rd Oct., 1688. William Wreyford of the same parish joins in bond." with a note: "Matthew Wreyford was a Wool-comber ("lanionem"); thus described in the Admon. Bond." Given that this Matthew was aged only 6 it was probably his father, this Mathew's baptism PR entry showing he was also a Mathew, although I have not looked at the Wreford family enough to be sure:  he could have had a grandfather / uncle / cousin of the same name).

  Family	Elizabeth MANLEY,   bur. 10 Sep 1757, St. Mary’s Church, Morchard Bishop, Devon, England
  Married	22 Jul 1706	St. Mary’s Church, Morchard Bishop, Devon, England
  	From PR entry (image on Devon FHS website, members' section) "Math: Wreford mar to Eliz Manley July the 22d" (image 29)(the following year one William Wreford married Mary Manley, possibly 2 brothers married 2 sisters) Whilst it seems probable that the Elizabeth buried in 1757 was the wife of the Matthew as shown here, more research needed to show she was the mother of his children, rather than a wife he married later.
