Between the years 1560-1580 a daughter of Henry Endecott was married - according to the Heralds' Visitation off Devonshire in 1620 - to Edward Knapman, fourth son of William Knapman by Alicia Hore of Rushford in Chagford. The connection of the Knapman family with the tin-mining industry is shown by their coat-of-arms - "Or on a, cross gules, between four choughs proper five blocks of tni marked with the letter W." The eldest brother of Edward Knapman, Alexander, was married to Anna, daughter of Sir John Widdon of Throwleigh; and Alexander's daughter Alice was married to Robert Lethbridge of Nymet Tracy. These four families -Whiddon, Endecott, Knapman and Lethbridge - owned most of the tin-mining land in the Stannary of Chagford. It may be added that Henry Endecott was an overseer of the will of his younger brother John (mentioned above), having as his colleagues Alexander Knapman (his daughter's brother-in- law) and John Hore of Rushford in Chagford, his Cousin.

"As can be seen on Family Tree A, the second William [Knapman] married Alicia Hore of Rushford (sometimes then spelled Rishford), an estate just outside Chagford. She had been baptised in about 1525, and they started having children in about 154538. In all they had four sons (Alexander, John, James and Edward) and two daughters (Elizabeth and Jane). Alexander is dealt with below. Family trees for each of the other three sons can be found in later chapters. All I know about Elizabeth and Jane is shown on Family Tree A.
Some background to Alicia Hore's family can be found on the internet. Most sources rely to some degree on 'Early history and genealogy of the families of Hore and Hoare' by Capt Edward Hoare (1883) and 'Pedigree and memoirs of the families of Hore and Hoare of the counties of Devon, Bucks, Middlesex, Surrey, Wilts and Essex' (1819) by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart. They reckon that in about 1330 Robertus Hore married an heiress from the Fforde family of Chagford, and established a family which remained there until at least the 16th century. Robertus had apparently moved to Devon from Pole Hore, near Wexford in Ireland, where his older brother inherited the estate which had been granted to one of their ancestors after he had joined an expedition to pacify the country in the time of Henry II. The Hores of Rishford clearly had some wealth, but nothing spectacular. Alicia's parents were probably called William and Johane. They, together with their son William, were involved in a lawsuit39 in 1529-32 concerning some land at Sowden in Broadwood Kelly, a few miles north of South Tawton. "
