- Can't be certain that Richarda was the daughter of the John I show as her father, but the fact that the 1620 visitation shows this John's father as of Buckland Monachorum suggests she could well be.
If her father was John and was the same as the John who was married to Margaret Glanville then Richarda was probably their daughter rather than the daughter of John with Thomasine.

Other Partners: John GLANVILLE m. Abt 1572Married Bef 1560 - Thomasine had been married to John Skirrett before she married John Glanville (according to Chancery case of 1630 - TNA ref. C 2/ChasI/S55/8)
A son of her son William Skirrett was born about 1584, so the marriage was unlikely to have been any later than 1560, given that William was her third son.
Alumni oxonienses shows an age for William at matriculation suggesting he was born about 1562; her children are not likely to have been born closer than a year apart suggesting the oldest born no later than 1560, possibly a few years earlier.
Offspring - Names and birth order of sons John, Edward and William recorded in answer in Chancery Court case, TNA ref: C 2/ChasI/S55/8. Thomas is not mentioned in that document (possibly because neither Thomas nor any descendants were livng, or at least had no claim to compete with those in the case), but he is in the Skirrett pedigree in Vivian (citing information provided by Edward for the 1620 visitation); the visitation however makes no mention of John or William so the order of all 4 sons is not clear. Son William named a son Anthony, and an Anthony married in Plymouth in 1598 - possibly Anthony was a son of John and Thomasine as well.
Vivian shows 3 daughters of John and Thomasine. Alice clearly was their daughter from the Chancery case, the other two shown by Vivan, Margery and Loveday, are not mentioned in that Chancery case. The date of both marriages would mean they were marrying relatively late in life, if they really were daughters of Thomasine and John. Whilst possible I think they are more likely the daughters of another John (if their father was named as 'John' in the marriage licence info that Vivian saw). Loveday at least appears to have had children both by her marriage to Henry and a subsequent marriage; if she had been the daughter of John and Thomasine as Vivian shows she would have been too old. (I suspect the marriage licence info does not name their father, and am guessing they were the daughters of John and Thomasine's son William - to be investigated further).
In addition, Mary is described as a sister of Alice in an answer in a Star Chamber Case (see birth notes of Mary for details).
The unnamed daughter is from a reference in a Chancery Court case deposition in which Edmund Dunriche claims he and 'Justice Glanvill' had married two sisters.
