EARLS FAMILY CHRONICLES © Christopher Earls Brennen http://brennen.caltech.edu/earls/chap1.htm
The churchwarden accounts for the parish of Ashburton, County Devon [36] for the years 1479-1580 indicate that a number of Erles were very active in the parish during that period.
William Erle kept these accounts for the period 1485-1505 and is also mentioned in 1506/7;
William's wife, Mabel Erle, also appears in the accounts for 1496/7 and 1497/8.
In 1486/7 a sum is entered for the grave of Margaret Erle.
Alice Erle occurs in 1490/91 and Henry Erle in 1487/8, 1492/3 and 1495/6.
Robert Erle frequently appears during the period 1495-1523; he was the accountant for 1505/6/7 and his burial is recorded during 1531/2.
Joan Erle died in 1509/10 and a gift from her daughter is noted.
Thomas Erle, who in 1535/6 is identified as a pewterer, occurs in 1525/6, 1535/6, 1545/6 and 1555/6. Hugh Erle appears in 1556/7.
Joan Erle, a widow, occurs in 1537/8, 1544/5 and 1545/6.
Nicholas Erle was the accountant in 1568/69/70 and also appears in 1558/9, 1561/2 and 1566/7.
The John Erle(I), of Asburton, County Devon who married Margaret de Sondes must have been related to the Erles described in these parish records.
This marriage produced two sons, Robert Erle(I) and John Erle(II).
Both are identified as initiating important branches of the Erle family, and we will describe both briefly.
Note that John Erle(I) died in 1484, and his wife Margaret in 1472.
