ROGER HEALE, second son of William de Heale, and heir male on the death of his brother Nicholas, lived temp. King HENRY IV. having served in the Scotch wars, and been there taken prisoner. His son and heir,

WILLIAM HEALE, settled at Hele, called for distinction South Hele, in the parish of Cornwood, in the South of Devon, and had issue by his wife, Joan, daughter of Simon Cole, esq. of Slade, in that county, five sons and one daughter,

1. JOHN, of South Heale, who left issue,

Walter Heal, of South Heal, who m. Jane,
daughter of Thomas Fortescue, esq. of Wy-

Richard Brooking, esq. of Holberton, in
Devon, and was living s. p. at the time

He was interred on the 12th July, with his ancestors in the church of Diptford; and it is a remarkable fact, that there was but just sufficient room left in the vault for his coffin. III.

Among the Cornish branches of the family, was the one seated at Bennetts, the last of which, George John Hele, esq. was sheriff of Cornwall in 1628; Lucy Hele, his heiress, married, in 1670, or 1674, Francis Basset, esq. of Tehidy, in Cornwall, the great grandfather of the late Lord De Dunstanville, father of Frances, the present Baroness Bassett, (see BURKE's Peerage,) who inherited, with her, large possessions including the manor of Penlean.

VI. John (Sir), knt. of Wembury, in Devon, serjeantat-law, of whom PRINCE observes" that he was a most eminent person in his profession, of any other in his days, of his rank, belonging to the long robe; an evident proof and demonstration whereof is the vast wealth and riches he acquired (with God's blessing) by his own industry, which in buildings, lands, and monies, amounted to above an hundred thousand pounds, a good part of which he bestowed in charity to the poor. He purchased a fair estate in the parish of Wembury, about four miles east of Plymouth, where he built a most noble house, beyond any other in those days in all this country, and equal to the best now; a sightly seat for show, for receipt spacious, for cost sumptuous, for situation salubrious; near the sea, upon an advanced ground, having a delightsome prospect both of sea and land; round which lay a noble park, well stocked with fallow deer, whose reflection, as they were grazing, might be seen in the marble clavels, through the casements, of the chamber chimneys."
