      [1] Born 1314-1316 as he was still a minor when John, Earl of Cornwall presented on 2 May 1335 to St. Mawgan-in- Kerrier, by reason of him having custody of the lands of John de Walesbreu, a minor

      [2], but in the 1337 Caption of Seisin of the Duchy of Cornwall, John de Walesbreu was holding 3 knights fees in an illegible location and 1 fee in Hutno, for which he is required to do castle guard and all other services in proportion to his holdings.

      [3] Johannes de Whalisbreu, miles, was Knight of the Shire for Cornwall at the Parliaments of 7 June 1344 and 23 Sep 1353.

      [4] In 1346, Johanne de Walesbreu held Laimaylwen and Lancarf "which his father William formerly held" (quod Willelmus pater suus prius tenuit).

      [5] His mother presented her nephew John De Bodrugan to St. Mawnan on 23 Feb. 1347/48 as ‘Joan relict of William De Whalesbreu” and again to St. Mawnan on 6 Nov. 1348 and 1 Mar. 1361/62.

      [6, 7] He presented to the church of St. Perran-Uthno on 17 July 1348, 19 June 1349, 10 Jan 1361/2 and to St. Mawnan-in-Kerrier 6 Aug 1349, 3 Apr 1350, 7 Dec 1361, and 4 Mar 1361/2; presentations on 11 Oct. 1372 and 22 June 1381 would have been by his son John

      [8,9]. Sir John de Walesbreu was married to Joan De Bodrugan, daughter of Sir Otes De Bodrugan by Margaret Chambernoun.

      [10] Family connections presented as rectors to various churches include her nephew John De Bodrugan, a Sir Reginald Beauchamp, a Roger Beauchamp and a Sir Thomas De Carmynou. Joan died 5 June 1349.

      Notes
      It has been mistakenly claimed that John's wife was Lamellen Cornwall with a royal ancestry. However, no such woman existed. Lamellen, Cornwall is a place name!

      Per the New Mexico Roots family tree:

      Sir Giles Daubeney married, soon after 5 Jan 1358/9, Alianore daughter of Sir Henry de Willington, of Umberleigh, Devon, Poulton, co. Gloucester, &c., by Isabel, daughter of Sir John de Walesbreu, of Lamellen and Lancarfe, Cornwall. He died 24 Jun 1386, at Barrington, Somerset. His widow's dower was ordered to be assigned, 8 Aug 1386. She died 6 Aug 1400, and was buried at Kempston.
