Summary

Description
English: Arms of Yonge of Colebrooke, Devon: Per fess sable and argent, three lions rampant guardant counterchanged (Source: Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitation of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.842). The return made in 1620 to the heralds was signed by Robert Yonge (d.1636) of Colebrooke, the 4th son of Thomas Younge of Sturminster Newton in Dorset. Robert's nephew was Thomas Yonge (of Child, Ockford) who married a sister of "Mr Seamor of ye Exchequer", namely Bridget Seymer, one of the 6 sisters of Sir Robert Seymer (d.1624) of Hanford near Blandford in Dorset, a Teller in the King's Exchequer, knighted at Greenwich Palace on 19 February 1619, eldest son and heir of Sir John Seymer of Hanford, by his wife Agnes Rawles. This family claimed a common progenitor with the Seymour Dukes of Somerset. They bore similar arms, with tinctures inverted and with a chief. In 1623/4 Sir Robert Seymer was a party in a law-suit concerning the manor of Iping in Sussex. Another of Sir Robert Seymer's daughters, Penelope Seymer, married in 1623 at Hartley Wespall, Hampshire, to Peter Bettesworth (d.1632), buried at Rogate in Sussex. (Source: Burke, 1846 (see below) and: Challen, W.H., Thomas Bilson, Bishop of Winchester, his Family and their Hampshire, Sussex and other Connections, Part II, pp.253 et seq, p.264, published in Papers and Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society, Vol.19, 1955/6, p.264[1]) For pedigree of "Seymer of Hanford" see Burke, John, A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 2 (M-Z), London, 1846, p.1216[2]. See Neville Enderson, Colebrooke History[3]: The wording of Walter de Bathe's Chantry Charter implies that the Court-house (Curia) was on the site of what was Young's Farm, ( now Colebrooke House), which is where we should expect to find a manor, namely near the Church. There is also documentary evidence that this property was part of Roger Mills's estate. Thus it can be reasonably assumed that the original manor stood on the site of Young's Farm opposite the Church. The Yonge residence was Landsend, in the parish of Colebrooke, according to Kelly's Directory of Devon, 1902[4]. A descendant of this family was James Yonge, "the younger", of Plymouth, who in 1718 married Mary Upton, heiress of Puslinch in the parish of Newton Ferrers. (Burke, 1846[5]). The marriage settlement included Landsend[6]
