comments: Hello

I'm researching my family history and I thought the Courtenay Society might provide me with some assistance to overcome an obstacle I've met.
My 8 x great grandparents were John Clobery b. circa 1650 (of Bradstone, Devon) and Elizabeth COURTENAY 1656 - 1699 (daughter of Sir William Courtenay, 1st Bt., of Powderham Castle).

Did this John Clobery marry twice, 1st Elizabeth Courtenay, 2nd Anne Cranmer?

Who was John Clobery's father?

Is this John Clobery connected to / or the same John Clobery who assisted General Monck in restoring Charles II to the throne?

I believe the Clobery family was a very established family in Bradstone, Devon for 100s of years and with the link to the Courtenays by the above union, any additional information by Courtenay Society would be very much appreciated.

Are there any Courtenay Society members that have the same individuals in their tree?

Regards, Daniel Benest (from Jersey, Channel Islands)

ancestor: Thomas Courtney Sr.

comments: Thomas Courtney Sr. was born about 1728 in Ireland and died in the US about 1811. He married three times #1 "Daughter" Dawson who had a child, Robert, born, 1751 "near Castle Dawson". They had been married in London, England. Thomas married #2 Jane Anderson in Ireland in 1757. He married #3 Isabella Thompson in 1789. She was born in Virginia. Their son, Thomas Jr. is my ancestor. I am looking for any information as to Thomas Sr's parents or family members. Thomas Jr. married Mary Polly Cravens and had at least one child, John D who was born in Mongongalia County West Virginia. He married Catharine Rodes and married again to Eliza Ann Boyd. Among their children was Mary Elizabeth Courtney who married Samuel Horton Anderson. They were my great grandparents. I can fill in some gaps if any relatives are interested. thanks, Lynda

ancestor: Eleanor COURTENAY who married James ANDERSON

comments: Eleanor COURTENAY was the wife of James ANDERSON. Their daughter Jane/Janet ANDERSON married William McEWEN/McKEOWN at Sixmilecross, Tyrone, Ireland in 1857. By 1861 William and Jane McEwen were living in Ayrshire, Scotland, where they had 7 children. Their 3rd child, James, was born and baptised at Sixmilecross in 1866.

Jane McEwen nee Anderson died in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1899, and her parents are listed on her death certificate as James Anderson and Eleanor Courtenay. Her death was registered by her husband, William McEwen, and that both her parents were both deceased at the time of her death.

Does anyone know anything about Eleanor Courtenay?
Many Thanks

comments: Hello
I am wondering if anybody has any information about the Courtney/Courtenay family line in Ilfracombe Devon.
In a nutshell it goes back from:
Thomas William Rice Courtney (b1879)
Thomas Henry Cotton Courtney (b1855)
William Rice Courtney (b1815)
James Courtney (b1778)
William Courtney (b1728/9)
John Courtney (b1681)?

I cannot seem to go back further than this at the moment.
Any suggestions
