William Scudamore (II) (William) was of Ballingham, Herefordshire, England, and married Mary Burghyll, the daughter of John Burghyll, an armiger OW2, SK5. He succeeded his father by the year 1538 and owned land at Wormelow Hundred SK1. Wormelow is about seven miles west of Ballingham. For the defense of Herefordshire in 1542, he donated a horse and armor for the horse, and was probably an archer, as he was said to have been able and fit to be an archer SK5. The musters in Herefordshire occurred in mid-September 1542 following the invasion of Scotland by King Henry VIII in the summer of 1542 FA22. Many of those who were mustered fought at Solway Moss on the River Esk in Cumbria, England in November in 34 Henry VIII (1542) FA22. The muster for Wormelow Hundred occurred on Friday, September 15, 1542 at “Harrewoodes Grene” (Harewood Green), and the commissioners for Radlowe, Greytree, and Wormelow in 1542 were John Scudamore “esquyer”, Stephan Aparry (Stevyn ap Harry) “esquyer”, and Richard Warmecombe “esquyer” FA22. Within the township of “Balyngeham” in Wormelow Hundred, William Scudamore, gentleman, was listed first amongst the names of ten men and was designated as an archer FA22. The abbreviations next to his name implied that he had a harness (armor), a horse, and possibly a harness (armor) for the horse FA22.
William Scudamore “of Balyngeham generosus” exchanged land with a husbandman named John Robert “de Henfrowther in Irchynfild” in a conveyance dated on August 21, 38 Henry VIII (1546) OW2. This man was probably from an area near a monastery which was allegedly founded by St. Dyfrig (Dubricius) at Hennlann on the River Wye, was later known as “Hendreroudre” in 1334 and as “Henfrowther” in 1546 PI15. Archenfield in Herefordshire was originally known as the kingdom of Ergyng PI15. This deed stated that John Robert de Henfrowther would convey one arable acre in a field named “Over Kres” in the vill of Balyngeham in the hundred of Wormelow, which was located between the land of William Robert of Cary and the land of John Parlour, late of Balyngeham OW2. The acre extended in breadth to the rivulet of “Weye” (probably a rivulet of the River Wye) OW2. In exchange for this acre, John Robert de Henfrowther in Irchynfild would receive three arable parcels in the vill of Treshack from William Scudamore of Balyngeham OW2. Of these three parcels, “two and a half acres lie in two parcels in the field called Treshackysfild between the brook (torrentem) called Redwillymysbrok [Rhyd Wilym brook] on the south and the land of John Rogers on the north” OW2. The third small parcel of ¼ acre was located south of the messuage owned by Thomas Rogers and north of “Laukys aker”, which may have meant Lleucu’s acre OW2.
William died by November 4, 1548, the date on which he was referred to as deceased, when Christopher, his brother, renounced his interest in William’s land OW2, SK5.
Mary Burghill (John) was referred to as “Mary, doughter of John Burfeld of Lyngell Ar.”, with a footnote which corrected this to “Burghill of Thinghill” in a pedigree for the Guillim family of Fawley CO13. She was the mother of John, William, Richard, and Rowland Scudamore SK5. Mary (Burghyll) Scudamore was mentioned in a grant from Christopher Scudamore, a gentleman of the city of London, to William Burghyll, gentleman, and “John G’ll’m [Guillim] de Ffawley”, gentleman, on November 4, 2 Edward VI (1548) OW2. Christopher Scudamore granted lands in “Balyngham, Carye, Haltboughe, Treseck, Porthether and Blewhenston or elsewhere in the hundred of Wormelow to the use of Mary daughter of John Burghyll armiger, deceased, late wife of William Scudamore of Balyngham generosus, my brother, deceased, for her life” OW2. He stipulated the remainder (the future owners of these properties) should be John Scudamore, the “son and heir of the said William Scudamore, deceased, and Mary his wife, and his heirs; remainder to William brother of John Scudamore and his heirs” OW2. The grant was signed by Crystoffer Scudamore OW2.
John Scudamore was called the “son and heir of the said William Scudamore, deceased, and Mary his wife” in a grant dated November 4, 1548 OW2. He was the father of William Scudamore of Ballingham, John Scudamore of London, and Mary Scudamore, who married Richard Hereford of Sufton, Herefordshire SK5.
On April 4, 2 Elizabeth I (1560), John Scudamore, gentleman, the son and heir of the deceased William Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham, was one of the parties in an arbitration bond; the other party was George Scudamore, a gentleman of “Beawdeley” (Bewdley), Worcestershire PA27. This arbitration bond involved lands and tenements in Wormelow Hundred, Herefordshire PA27. About a year later on February 22, 3 Elizabeth I (1560/1), George Scudamore, gentleman, who was one of the sons and heirs of the deceased William Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham, released lands in Herefordshire to “his kinsman”, John Scudamore, gentleman PA28. These were all the lands which belonged to William Scudamore, located in Ballingham, “Carye” (Carey), “Altboughe” (Altbough), “Treysecke” (Tresseck), “Pothether” (Porthether), and “Blehenston” (Blewhenstone) PA28.
Queen Elizabeth I granted John Scudamore of Ballingham, gentleman, a license to alienate the manor of “Balyngam, otherwise Ballyngeham” and diverse lands and hereditaments within Ballingham in Herefordshire on March 24, 9 Elizabeth I (1566/7) PA25. This appeared to be a license to sell these properties to Gregory Pryce and his wife, Mary PA25. Sometime in 1567 (during 9 Elizabeth I), John Scudamore was the plaintiff in an indenture of a fine against the deforciants, Gregory Pryce and his wife, Mary, regarding the manor of “Balyngam” and the properties in Ballingham that John had sold to Gregory and Mary Pryce PA35. This may mean that he had not yet received payment for the sale of those properties. A conveyance dated December 12, 22 Elizabeth I (1579) stated that John Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballyngham, purchased a meadow in Fownhope, Herefordshire from Margaret Rowely and Thomas and Johan Their PA40.
On April 2, 23 Elizabeth I (1581), Thomas Hopkyns, a yeoman of Kynnason in the parish of “Hentllane” (probably Hentland), Hereford County (Herefordshire), and his son, Phillip, were bound to John Scudamore of Ballingham, gentleman, for the sum of thirty pounds, for the performance of certain covenants OW2. This pertained to an indenture of bargain and sale between Thomas Hopkyns of “Kynason in the parish of Hentlane… and Phyllyppe his son” and John “Scudamor of Ballinam” and involved “houses etc. in the occupation of the said Thomas and Phyllyppe in the parish of Hentlane” OW2. On April 13, 23 Elizabeth I (1581), Thomas Lechmor leased a parcel of meadow in Fownhope, Herefordshire to John Scudamore, gentleman of Ballingham, for the term of twenty years PA44.
He purchased land from James Jeffes on November 21, 24 Elizabeth I (1581) PA30. This land was described as part of all the messuages and lands in Ballingham, “Bolston” (Bolstone), Hentland, “Langarren” (Llangarron), and elsewhere in Wormelow Hundred, Herefordshire, and they had descended to James Jeffes after the death of Jeffes’ mother PA30. The following day, James Jeffes released those lands to John Scudamore, gentleman of Ballingham PA31. John Jeffes the younger surrendered a lease of diverse messuages and lands in Ballingham, “Bolston” (Bolstone), Carey, “Langarron” (Llangarron), and “Witherston” (Witherstone) to John Scudamore, gentleman of Ballingham, on June 8, 25 Elizabeth I (1583) PA32. John Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham, was again the plaintiff in an indenture of a fine on August 30, 25 Elizabeth I (1583) in Wormelow Court against the deforciants, John Jeffes and James Jeffes, regarding four messuages and diverse lands and hereditaments in Herefordshire PA36. These were located in Ballingham, “Bolston”, “Carye”, “Langarron”, Langeston, “Langounocke” (Llangunnock), “Marloughe” (Marlow), “Treevan” (Tre-Evan), and “Wytherston” PA35. He was the plaintiff in an indenture of a fine in Wormelow Court against John Jeffes and others, the deforciants, regarding two messuages and diverse lands and hereditaments in Ballingham, “Boltone”, “Carie”, Little Dewchurch, and “Witherston” on January 31, 31 Elizabeth I (1589) PA37.
John Scudamore of Ballingham, esquire, purchased land from Francis Parlor on June 1, 27 Elizabeth I (1585) PA26. This land was described as part of all the messuages and lands in Ballingham, “Bolston”, Hentland, and Little Dewchurch in Herefordshire, and was land that was meant to have descended to Francis Parlor after the death of his deceased father, as Francis Parlor’s father was a coheir PA26. Shortly after on June 3, 28 Elizabeth I (1586), John was in court again at Wormelow as the plaintiff against Frances Parlor, the deforciant, regarding those four messuages, lands, and hereditaments PA34. Then on March 22, 30 Elizabeth I (1588), John Scudamore, gentleman of Ballingham, along with Thomas Parlor and Frances Parlor, were deforciants against Richard Gwillym of “Trepenkennet” (Trippenkennett) and Richard Gwillym of Buckwall PA41. The two men named Richard Gwillym were plaintiffs in an indenture of a fine at Wormelow Court regarding three messuages and diverse lands and hereditaments in Ballingham, Bolston, Hentland, and Little Dewchurch PA41.
Walter Gwatkings of “Tre eavan” in the parish of Llangaren, Hereford County (Tre-even in Llangarron parish, Herefordshire) was bound to John Scudamor of Ballingham on November 3, 28 Elizabeth I (1586) for the sum of twenty pounds OW2. The abstract of this bond stated OW2:
The condition of the obligation is that Walter Gwatkings accepts the award of Richard Cocks of Little Ffawley and James Scudamor of Tretyre gents. in all actions and quarrels between the said parties from the beginning of the world unto the date of these presents, as also in the right to lands late in question in the court of George earl of Shrewsbury of the manor of Wormelow.
Humfrey Tailor enfeoffed lands and hereditaments in Wormelow Hundred or Ballingham, Herefordshire to John Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham, on July 27, 34 Elizabeth I (1592) PA29. Scudamore men were involved in an indenture of a fine in Wormelow Court on May 4, 35 Elizabeth I (1593) regarding the manor of Tretire, “otherwise Rethier”, and four messuages and six gardens and lands in Tretire and Michaelchurch, Herefordshire PA38. John Scudamore, gentleman of Ballingham was the plaintiff and the deforciants were John Scudamore, gentleman of Tretire and Simon Scudamore, gentleman PA38. He was called “John Scudamore the elder of Ballngham, esq” in a “Conveyance to Uses” regarding the manor of Tretire in Herefordshire (“otherwise Rethier”) and all of its messuages and lands on October 15, 38 Elizabeth I (1596) PA33. The “Conveyance to Uses” was to Thomas Gwillym and John Scudamore of Tretire, clerk PA33.
His son was mentioned in a receipt dated September 29, 1599 for the manor of Tretire (Rethier) and its messuages and lands; the receipt was from John Scudamore, the son of John Scudamore of Ballingham, esquire, and was to John Scudamore PA39. John Scudamore wrote his will on November 6, 1599 which named his wife, Joan, his son, William, his second son, John, and his uncle, George Scudamore OW2. His will was executed on November 12, 1599 and the probate date was April 14, 1602 at Hereford OW2. A transcription of the abstract written by Edward Owen follows OW2:

William Scudamore was called the brother of John Scudamore, and thus the son of William and Mary (Burghyll) Scudamore, in a grant dated November 4, 1548 OW2.
Richard Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham and the son of the deceased William Scudamore, a gentleman of “Balinham”, enfeoffed land which descended to him from his father to his brother, John Scudamore, gentleman, on May 31, 13 Elizabeth I (1571) PA42. This land included all the messuages and lands in Carie (Carey), Haltbough (Altbough), Tressecke (Tresseck), and elsewhere in Wormelow Hundred PA42.
Rowland Scudamore, a gentleman of Canon Lyhe (probably Canonsleigh) in Monkleigh, Devonshire, released “all the manors, lands, etc.” that descended to him after his father’s death to his brother, John Scudamore, a gentleman of Ballingham, on October 14, 18 Elizabeth I (1576) PA43. These lands were located in Ballingham, Hentland, Lanwarn (Llanwarne), and Little Dewchurch in Herefordshire PA43. Rowland (or Rowlande) Scudamore was the father of three children whose baptisms were recorded in Monkleigh, Devon, England EN4. Mary, the daughter of Rowland Scudamore, was christened on October 31, 1580 (and buried the same year EN26 on November 9, 1580 SK5), Elizabeth, the daughter of Rowlande Scudamore, was christened on March 28, 1584, and Mary, the daughter of Rowland Scudamore, was christened on July 17, 1586 EN4. “Mistres Martha Scudamore” was buried in Monkleigh, Devon, England in 1597 EN26; this was probably the first wife of Rowland, who was buried on February 12, 1597 SK5. He likely married between 1597 and 1605, because in 1609 (May 15, 1609 SK5) “Mris [probably “Mistress”] Mary Scudamore” was buried in Monkleigh EN26. Rowland Scudamore was buried in Monkleigh, Devon, England in 1605 EN26 (on May 3, 1605 SK5).
After the death of William Scudamore, Mary married John Guillim of Fawley SK1. Fawley is just across the River Wye from Ballingham, in Herefordshire. The pedigree of the Guillim family of Fawley was printed in the Visitation of Herefordshire, 1569 CO13. This pedigree stated that “John Gllm. of Faley” married “Mary, doughter of John Burfeld of Lyngell Ar.”, with a footnote which corrected Mary’s father’s name to “Burghill of Thinghill” CO13. With John Guillim, Mary was the mother of Thomas Guillim, who was their son and heir and who died o.s.p. (obit sine prole; died without children) in 1604 CO13.
