Regarding parentage: “History & Antiquities of Somersetshire”, Vol I Parts 3-6: “By an inquest taken at Ilchesteri 29th October, 31 Henry VIII, 1540, it is set forth that John Abarough died September 28, 30 Henry VII (1539) seised of a capital messuage at North-Barrow; five hundred and twenty acres of arable land; forty acres of meadow; twelve of pasture; and two of wood, which he held of the manor of Castle-Cary. This family held considerable estates in this county and Dorsetshire. Their chief residence was at Ditcheat.”^[2]
