  1. 1.  Richard Eliot was born about 1546 (son of Thomas Eliot and Joan Norbrooke); died on 22 Jun 1609 in Port Eliot, St. Germans, Cornwall; was buried on 24 Jun 1609 in St. Germans Church, St. Germans, Cornwall.

    Notes:


    --- "The Life of Sir John Eliot" by Harold Hulme, 1957, page 18:
    Richard Eliot inherited most of his uncle's Cornish and extensive Devonshire properties. Among them was the lease of Cuddenbeak in St. Germans. But the mansion house of Port Eliot, orchards, gardens, and about fifty acres of land had been given by John Eliot to his wife Grace as her jointure. Eventually this estate reverted to Richard and his heirs. From 1577 to about 1598 he was living at Cuddenbeak, while from the latter date to his death in 1609 he made Port Eliot his residence.

    Richard Eliot married Bridget, daughter of Nicholas Carswell of Hatch Arundell in Devonshire. Their son and only child [sic], John Eliot, the future knight, was born at Cuddenbeak on April 11, 1592. The middle-aged father must have been overjoyed at the birth of a son and heir. When, on April 20, the child was baptized in the old Norman church festivities were the order of the day at Cuddenbeak. Richard Eliot invited his neighbours to drink to the health and prosperity of his son and feast upon the bounty of his lands. It is said that the lord of Cuddenbeak and Port Eliot 'by his ancient hospitality and generous living [had] attracted the acquaintance of most of the gentlemen in his neighbourhood who frequently visited him at his house at St. Germans'.
