Devon Assoc. xxix. 175-81; xxxii. 195-6; xxxiv. 633-5, 598; xxxv. 360-425; Devonshire Wills ed. Worthy, 374-80) show considerable confusion about Roger’s marriages, suggesting that he (1) a London heiress called Joan Parker and (3) Joan, da. and h. of Thomas Chasteleyne, lord of Donnington (Som.) and Trent (Dorset), by Emma, da. and h. of John Cantelupe.
