1486-1493 or 1504-1515 plaintiff in action of dower by defendant Anastise MICHELMORE for lands in Salcombe

 An "action of dower" is a wife's legal recourse when a husband fails to provide her with more than her rightful third of his property on his death. Presumably "late the wife" means "wife of the late".

See also Thomas [Tree 153], who purchased or leased land in Thurlestone, Salcombe and Malborough in 1528.
