Note 200. ANCIENT HERALDIC GLASS IN SLAPTON CHURCH (VI. par. 137, p. 149 and pars. 173 and 174, p. 187). - In the Visitation of Devon, 1620, Henry Fulford de Fulford  f. et h., of Johes Fulford de Fulford, is entered as the husband of Willmot f. et h. Phillipi Brian, with the following as their issue: - Baldwinus Fulford de Fulford f. et h.; Willms 2f., and filia nupta de Morval.
In the Visitation of Cornwall, 1620, is the following entry: - Walter Coode of Morval presented to St. Mary Tavy a.d. 1456, married filia Fulford.
In Devonshire Wills Mr. Worthy states (p. 423): - "Thomas Fulford of Fulford, born about 1378, married a daughter and co-heir of Wm. de Moreton of West Fulford (the other heir married Cary), and was the father of John Fulford, c. 1399, whose son and heir, Henry Fulford of Fulford, married the daughter of Philip Bryan, third son of Guy Lord Bryan of Tor Bryan, in this county, who died 1391. He had a daughter Katherine, wife of Ralph Prye, and who afterwards married John Glynn (? this should be Coode) of Morvell, and two sons, William, a Canon of Exeter and Archdeacon of Barnstaple 1462, died 1475, and Sir Baldwin Fulford of Fulford."
If the above entries are correct it appears that Sir Philip Bryan was married, and I would be obliged if any reader could say who his wife was.
