Origins in North Devon
The Mortimers who lived in North Devon are particularly obscure. One branch lived in Great Torrington, descended from William Mortimer of Weare Giffard, d.1578. Unfortunately since this will does not survive, very little is known of the family’s origins, which can only be the subject of speculation at best. His descendant William Mortimer was assessed for 4 hearths in the 1662 Hearth Tax.
