Father John GLANVILLE, b. Est 1510, d. 1580 (Age ~ 70 years)
Other Partners: Thomasine LANDERE m. Abt 1572Mother [ - ? - ], b. Est 1514, d. Bef 1572 (Age ~ 57 years) Married - A reference to John the merchant in the Tavistock Parish Record book (in 1565) refers to John's wife as Alice. From this book it appears that in the middle of the C16th there were two Johns - 'John Glanfyld, merchant' and 'John Glanfelde at wyll'. Although it seemed likely that this John was a merchant, the continuity of a John as one of the 'eight men' of Tavistock up to the death of this John suggests he was probably 'John Glanville at Wyll', although it is possible that this John was 'John the merchant' and he became one of the eight men on the death of 'John at Wyll'. It is clearly unsafe to assume that his wfe / the mother of his children was Alice.
Although I show all of his children having one mother, given the number of women who died young at this time, especially in childbirth, John could easily have had more than one wife before Thomasine.

Family Elizabeth POYNTER, b. Est 1539, bur. 1 Jan 1613/14, St. Eustachius’ Church, Tavistock, Devon, England (Age ~ 75 years) Married Est 1562 - Wife's Christian name from his will, whole name and her father's name from Harl. MS.
Order of sons and order of daughters in Vivian (Cornwall), how the daughters were dispersed amongst the sons not shown.
It is not clear if they had 2 sons called John and 2 called Tobias or if this is a mistake by Vivian. One John is shown by Vivian as dying without issue, the other with, but the 'ob. s. p.' is shown as added by Vivian, not (as some others are) as being in the 1620 visitation. Six sons are numbered, the only 2 for whom a spouse and children are shown are a Tobias and a John for whom no birth order number is given, hence me thinking Vivian may have added the same 2 twice. I am only adding one with each name for the moment.
