bullet  General Notes:

Richard Cabell, the eldest son and heir, matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford, November 15, 1639, aged 19; son of Richard of Buckfastleigh, Devon, Armiger. He was of the Middle Temple, 1649; was sheriff of Devonshire (various authorities give the various dates, 1658, 1664, and 1670). I do not know which is the correct date. He may have been sheriff more than once. I have an original receipt, dated December 28, 1669, showing that he paid George Reynell of Malston in the county of Devon, Esq., £104, on that day. In 1672, he gave £20 towards construct­ing the pile of buildings between the public gate and the chapel of Exeter College at Oxford. He was living in 1675. (See Lyson's Devonshire, vol. vi. " Cabell of Buckfastleigh. About six descents; not extinct in 1675. Arms: Sable, a Horse upright, Argent: bridled Or.") He died prior to 1693. He married in January 1655/6, Elizabeth, 2d daughter of the Rt. Hon. Sir Edmond Fowell of Fowell's Comb, in the parish of Ugborough in the county of Devon, Knight and Baronet, and M. P. for the Shire, by Margaret, his wife, sister of John, the first Lord Paulett of Hinton St. George in the county of Somerset.

Elizabeth Fowell was born at Fowell's Comb ---; bap­tized at Ugborough, September 6, 1622. The purpose of marriage between herself and Richard Cabell was pub­lished in the parish church of Ugborough on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days of October 1655, without exception, and they were married by a justice on January 2, and by the Vicar on January 7 following; she died ---, and was buried in linen September 17, 1686, at Buckfastleigh. Her father, Sir Edmond Fowell, of a very ancient Anglo-­Saxon family, was born at Fowell's Comb in 1593; knighted at the Palace of Greenwich by James I, Novem­ber 3, 1619; elected M. P. for Ashburton in the long Parlia­ment, and for the county of Devon in 1656. He was also one of the Parliamentary committee, and deputy lieuten­ants of that shire, and was president of the committee for sequestration. He was created a Baronet April 30, 1661. He died in October 1674, aged eighty-one. (See Burke's Extinct Baronetcies.) His wife, Margaret Paulett, was a sister to Capt. Thomas Paulett of Virginia (see The Gen­esis of the United States, p. 962), and first cousin to Fran­cis Lord Norreys of the Virginia Company of London. Richard Cabell of Brooke, Esq., and Elizabeth Fowell, his wife, had at least two sons (Richard and George), both of whom died without issue; and their daughter, Elizabeth, became the sole heir to their property.
