Some questions...
Why do you say Joan was the second wife of Robert Wilford?

Do we know anything about the ancestry of Robert Wilford (d. 1396)?

What record says Robert Wilford was alive 7 July 1396?

Are Elizabeth, wife of Robert Wilford, and Elsote the same person?  I had Elsote being the first wife of William Wilford. A sum of 3s. 8d. was paid to Exeter Cathedral between Michaelmas 1405 and Michaelmas 1406 for her tomb, probably in the cathedral, and a further sum of 26s. 8d. was paid in the same period by William Wilford 'for the tomb of his dead wife in the [cathedral] church' (D&C 2663).

Do you have any more info or records on the ancestry of John Faryngdon and his wife Elizabeth Wilford?  My own ancestry goes through them.

Thanks for posting these.  It helps clear up what has always been a little problem. These deeds were also abstracted in Report and Transactions of the Devonshire Association, vol. 44, (1912): pages 480-511, see page 508.

 However, this article said the grant was to "Robert" Farringdon and Elizabeth his wife. This caused some confusion as to whether Elizabeth had married John Farringdon, or Robert Farringdon.  Your post makes clear that the RTDA article made some sort of transcription error and that her husband was John Farringdon.
