• Notes

  John Bickle died before 11 Jan 1672/3 as Ester is found in the burial register on 11 Jan 1672/3 as Hester Bickle, widow. There is a Thomas Byckhyll listed in the 1524 Devon Lay Subsidy Rolls for Broadwoodwidger. In 1530 John Bickle purchased a part of Goatacre. In 1579-1587, there was a John Bickell in court with Oliver Adam. There is a John Bickell, tanner, listed in the 1569 Devon Muster Roll for Broadwoodwidger and a George and John Bickell listed for Marystow and Thrushelton. There is a George and a John Beckell, five Collacotts and a Robert Hambly listed in the 1641 Devon Protestation returns for Broadwoodwidger and a Thomas, a Walter and a William Bickle for Germansweek. At Broadwoodwidger in 1674 were Sydrack and Agnes Bickell and at Virginstow a Joane Bickell. As of 1676 [Source: Roadford Reservoir Report #88.11, 1988] Bickells were associated with Higher Goatacre first by a George Bickell as tenant. He had died by 1703 but had six children: Roger, John, George born 1680 had 6 children: Mary, John, Jone, Gregory, Susanna and Margery, Johan, Robert, Edward. However, in 1694 John Bickell, son of John Bickell late of Virginstow, was a tenant. It is thought that Susanna Bickell who married John Hambley was the daughter of John Bickell the younger or, alternatively, the granddaughter of the original tenant, George Bickell. There is a John, a George and a Sydrack Bickle and an Agnes and Richard Collacott listed in the 1674 Devon Hearth Tax for Broadwoodwidger and a Joane Beckell for Virginstow and a Robert Bickell for Marystow. A George Bickle also shows up at Germansweek in 1681. The will of Richard Seckham (Seccombe) was witnessed in 1680 by George Bickle/Bickell of Germansweek. The Will of Gregory Seccombe of Germansweek mentions in 1694 John Bickell son of John Bickell late of Virginstow. John Bickell, Sr. was the first husband of Johan nee Seccombe. They had at least two sons, John and Phillipp. She later married a Collacott. The Wills also mentions Gregory Bickell "kinsman" of Gregory Seccombe and his three children. About 1703 Higher Goatacre was referred to as Mary Bickell's tenement. There is a Gregory Bickle listed in the Devon Militia returns of 1715 for Germansweek. Gregory Bickell may be another child of John Bickell and Johan nee Seccombe and is a possible ancestor of Susanna Bickle. Gregory Bickell is listed in the 1715 militia rolls. In 1703 a part of Goatacre was leased to John Bickell, the younger (possibility the son of John of Virginstow). In this lease is mentioned Mary Bickle (daughter of Oliver Bickle of Lifton parish) and George Bickle, deceased. The wife of John Bickle was listed as Dorothy and his daughter was Joan. His daughter may have been named after her paternal grandmother, Johan nee Seccombe. In 1749 Edward Bickell was a tenant of both Goatacre and Winslade and by 1751 Richard Secombe had taken over Winslade from Edward Bickell. [Source: Roadford Reservoir Report #88.11, 1988.] In 1796, 1801 and 1802 Abel Bickell farmed and paid taxes on the land of Henry Hamly at Emsworthy, on Ann's land at Hounshill and on Coombe Mill. Coombe Mill is located about 2-1/2 miles west of Broadwoodwidger town and 2 miles north of Liftondown on the River Carey. In 1812 a John Bickell appears at Downtown, which is a small village in the general vicinity of Lifton and Broadwoodwidger. He may have been ABel Bickell's son and was possibly working the farms at Emsworthy and Hounshill. This John Bickell married Grace Sheer?. John Bickle continued to farm Downtown through 1831. His daughter, Mary, was apprenticed to Richard Cook of Haywards, Fernhill, which is just south of Downtown. Abel Bickle died in 1815 and his Will was proved during 1816.
