WESTCOTT SAUNDERS of Chulmleigh and North Molton Devon

[mcgyver]

Sibley Saunders married George Westcott, who was a Yeoman of North Molton, Swimbridge and Chulmleigh, Devon, on 16 January 1562/63 in North Molton.
George came from Chulmleigh in Devon. Not sure if Sibley was his first or second wife.
Possible children Christopher Westcott born 1564 in North Molton and Gregory Westcott born 1565 also North Molton, Devon.
There were 3 other children John Westcott, Jacquet Westcott and Joan Westcott all born about 1570.
Can anyone help with any info.
Many thanks

I don't know if the George I have was born in 1540, but I have a George and his siblings. Philip Westcott, Jacquet Westcott, Robert Westcott, William Westcott born about 1500 and Sebastian Westcott born about 1515 all Chulmleigh Dev Eng. The George I mentioned died about 1592 but can't understand how his siblings born earlier unless there were two wives. Unfortunately don't know their parents names. Sorry I can't be of more help.
