On the marriage of his eldest daughter Mary Peryam, to Sir William Pole (d.1635), MP, of Shute, Devon, as part of her marriage settlement he conveyed the manor of Templeton to her husband.[5] It was still in the possession of Sir William Pole at the time of writing his great work Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon.
