  --- "The Parochial History of Cornwall" Vol. 1, edited by Davies Gilbert, 1838, page 379: The Hon. John Speccot, three times Knight of the Shire, married the Lady Essex Robartes, daughter of the Right Hon. John Earl of Radnor, but on the very day subsequent to their marriage Mr. Speccot was seized with the small-pox; and the lady experienced a fatal attack from the same dreadful disease about a month afterwards, just as her husband was getting well. --- "Memoranda, Historical and Genealogical, Relating to the Parish of Kelston" by Francis John Poynton, 1885, page 42: Right Hon. Sir John Speccott (spelt Speakett in the 'Westminster Abbey Register'), bapt. at Egloskerry 19 Apr. 1665; was M.P. for the County 1695-98-1700; died 16 June 1705, of apoplexy; temporarily interred at St. Anne's, Soho; removed to Egloskerry 20 July. (Vide Col. Chester's Westm. Abbey Reg., p. 28, Harl. Soc. Pub.) This branch then became extinct, and Penheale passed to Thoas. Long, Esq.
