A part of Mount-Edgecumb, and of this Milbrook, though seuered
from Deuon, by the generall bound, yet, vpon some of the
foreremembred considerations, haue bene annexed thereunto.
Aside of Milbrook, lyeth the Peninsula of Inswork, on whose
neckland standeth an ancient house of the Champernons, and descended
by his daughters and heires, to Forteskew, Monck, and Treuilian,
three Gentlemen of Deuon. The site is naturally both pleasant and
profitable; to which, the owner by his ingenious experiments,
daily addeth an artificiall surplusage.
Passing somewhat farther vp, you meet with the foot of Lyner,
where it winneth fellowship with Tamer, that, till then, and this,
yet longer, retayning their names, though their ouer-weake streames
were long before confounded, by the predominant salt water.
A little within this mouth of Lyner, standeth East-Antony, the poore
home of mine ancestours, with which in this maner they were inuested:
Sir Iohn Lerchedekne, Knight, and not priest, (for he was so called
of his family, and not by his calling, as in Froissard you shall note
the like, to be familiar amongst the nobility of Gascoigne)
by Cecill, the daughter and heire of Iordan of Haccumb, had issue 9.
