    Notes 
    • Mentioned in mother's will
      I have her mother's will as showing her as Elizabeth Bennett, wife of Thomas Bennett, but she would fit perfectly as the Elizabeth Trant who married Thomas Bellett - need to look at the will again (though assuming a mistake has been made in may have been in making the copy held in the Devon Records Office).

      Since writing the above I have become aware of a few instances of the surname usually recorded as Bellett being written as Bennet, so I don't think it significant if the will does have Bennett.

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 22 Apr 2015)
      Philip Trant may have been the son of John and Elizabeth but I think he was more likely the son of John's brother William. See birth notes on Philip's page for my thoughts on this.

      I think both Thomas and Elizabeth must he relations of mine, think I know but am not yet certain how Elizabeth is related and have no idea how Thomas is related to my Bellett ancestors

    Wills (transcripts)
    The will of Elizabeth Trant nee Foal (c. 1744 - 1822)
    The will of Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth Trant (nee Foal)
    Left £10 by her mother - twice what her sister Mary recieved, but only half what her brother Richard received. Because it was in buildings, land etc. it is hard to assess how it compares with what her other brothers received, but it would seem to be a good bit less.
