    « It is very certain the house at Indhio was built by John Southcott,* of Bovey Tracy, Esq., who had realized a fortune as a steward and a tithe-holder, under several monasteries in Devonshire, and purchased the Manor of Little Bovey. Q. Elizabeth on 23 March, Anno Rogni XXVI, leased to Edward, John, and Otho, the sons of Thomas Southcott, the Rectory of Bovey Tracy for their several lives, under the yearly rent of £14 13s. 6d.
    * He died 15th Sept. 1556, and was buried at Shillingford. The Registers of Bovey Tracy throw much light on the Pedigree of the Southcott Family. Arms of Southcott, Arg. a Chevron Gules, between 3 Coots, Proper. Perhaps the family came originally froin Winkleigh Parish, for Wm. Southcott was allowed 6 August, 1427, by Bishop Lacy to have Divine Service perform med " infra Manerium suum de Southcote, in parochiâ de Winkleigh.” »

    NOTE: There are also a number of online trees, which also give his year of birth as 1481 or circa 1481.
    For example:
    1. our-royal-titled-noble-and-commoner-ancestors.com/
    2. geneagraphie.com/
    3. ancestors.familysearch.org/
    This last one has him knighted, "Sir John Southcott." There is no evidence given to support this title.
    However, while none of these give any substantial source for his year of birth being in or around 1481, that does not mean that he was not born in or near that year. It could well be that he was - given that other sources have merely presumed he was born sometime before 1504.
