The paper was presented at the Association’s July 1916 Plymouth meeting. Puslinch is in the South Hams, near Newton Ferrers, Yealmpton  and Plymouth. Its name Puslich or Posylynch is thought to mean "Pugh's land". Puslinch House is a Georgian mansion  owned for generations by the Yonge family. It had been owned by the Poslylinch, Mohun and Upton families and then the Yonges, who had the current house built following the marriage of John Yonge and Mary Upton. The earlier medieval house still exists in the grounds as a country cottage. All these families were connected by marriage.
