COPPLESTONE, John (d.1458), of Copplestone in Colebrooke, Devon.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
s. and h. of John Copplestone (d.?1433) of Copplestone, ?by Katherine, da. and h. of John Graas of Tengrace. m. Elizabeth (1412-19 June 1457), da. of John Hawley*, and sis. and h. of Nicholas Hawley of Dartmouth, 3s. Dist. Devon 1439, 1458.
Offices Held

Attestor, parlty. elections, Devon 1417, ?1420, 1421 (May), ?1422, ?1423, ?1425, 1426, ?1427, ?1429, ?1430, ?1432, 1433, 1437, 1442, 1447, 1449 (Feb.), 1449 (Nov.), 1450, 1453, 1455. The MP’s early activities are difficult to distinguish from those of his synonymous father. In particular, it is impossible to be certain which of them set his seal to the parliamentary election indenture, except for those occasions when the attestor was explicitly styled ‘junior’. In view of the son’s position as custodian of the estates of the earldom of Devon it is nevertheless probable that it was he who attended the county court, even in his father’s lifetime, a hypothesis borne out by the absence of both men’s names on the occasion of Copplestone’s own first return in 1421 (Dec.).
