Misc. Notes
Thomasine Fulford was born in about1444 at Great Fulford manor in Dunsford Parish, 9 miles southwest of Exeter, Devonshire, England. She was the daughter of Sir Baldwin Fulford and his wife Jennet Elizabeth (Bozom) Fulford. Sir Baldwin was a celebrated knight and Crusader (1443-1444) who was also the Vice Admiral of England under King Henry VI. He was Sheriff of Devonshire in 1459-61 when, at the beginning of the War of the Roses, he was caught and executed by supporters of newly-proclaimed King Edward IV, the York contender for England's throne against Lancaster-supporter King Henry VI.[1]
In 1463, at 19 years old, Thomasine Fulford married John Wise, Esquire, of Sydenham House, Devonshire. They were both of the "landed gentry" social class who owned several large manors and farms, rented out to tenant farmers. They were not, however, considered as nobility or titled aristocrats and therefore their descendants were eligible to sit in the House of Commons in England's Parliaments.
Thomasine and John Wise had 2 children:[2]
1. Alicia Wise, b. ca. 1466; m. John Russell, Esq.
2. Oliver Wise, b. ca. 1468; m. Margaret Tremayne
Thomasine Fulford Wise lived at Mount Wise and Sydenham Manor House, both in Devon, until her death in around 1500. An exact date for her death has not been found. At least one family genealogy says she did not die at Sydenham House until 1505. [3]

Misc. Notes
John Wise, Esq. of Sydenham, Devonshire, England, was born in 1429 at his father's manor of Sydenham in Marystowe Parish, county of Devon, in southwestern England. He was the son and heir of Thomas Wise and his wife Margaret Britt, b. in 1404, daughter and heir of Robert Britt (aka Robert Brett), a wealthy landowner at Stottiscombe, in the county of Devon. Margaret is said to have died in 1429, obviously from complications surrounding her only son's birth.
Margaret (Britt) Wise, however, because she was a rich heiress, played a key role in her son's good fortune as he inherited a large estate in the parish of Stoke Damerel from her, near to the city of Plymouth. When he came of age, he built an impressive manor house there and named it "Mount Wise;" it became the seat of the Wise family for the next 150 years. The parish was renamed "Sydenham Damerel" in honor of the family's earlier seat.
John Wise, Esquire, married Thomasine Fulford, b. 1444 at Great Fulford, Devonshire, in 1463. She was the daughter of Sir Baldwin Fulford a celebrated knight and Crusader (1443-1444) who had been the Vice Admiral of England under King Henry VI. He was ambushed and killed in 1461 when Henry VI, of the House of Lancaster, was deposed by King Edward IV of the House of York, in an early stage of the civil war known as "The War of the Roses," that raged for 3 decades in the mid-late 15th Century in Britain.
Thomasine and John Wise had 2 children:[1]
1. Alicia Wise, b. ca. 1466; m. John Russell, Esq., b. 1452. Their son John Russell was later named the 1st Earl of Bedford[2]
2. Oliver Wise, b. ca. 1468; m. Margaret Tremayne [3]
Sir John Wise managed to retain his lands and positions during this very turbulent period of English politics as the Houses of Lancaster and York fought for the crown. He died around 1505, shortly after Henry Tudor vanquished and killed the hunchbacked King Richard III (of York) in 1489 at the Battle of Bosworth, becoming King Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch of England. His wife also died in 1505, according to at least one family genealogy. [4]
