OriginsHe was the only son of John I Rashleigh (d.10 August 1582), a merchant at Fowey in Cornwall (the 2nd son of Philip I Rashleigh (died 1551) of Fowey[4]) by his wife Alice Lanyon (d.20 August 1591) (whose 1602 monumental brass survives in Fowey Church,[5]) daughter of William Lanyon by his wife Thomasine Tregian, daughter of Thomas Tregian.[6] Philip I Rashleigh (died 1551) of Fowey, by his wife Genet Leigh, daughter of Thomas Leigh of South Molton, Devon,[7] was the 2nd son of John Rashleigh (died 1528) of Barnstaple in Devon, whose great-grandfather had been John Rashleigh alias Bray, the younger son of Robert Rashleigh (died pre 1390) of Rashleigh, Wembworthy, Devon, by his wife Matilda. The de Rashleigh family had originated in the 14th century or before at the estate of Rashleigh in the parish of Wembworthy in Devon, of which the Barnstaple family was a later branch and of the latter the Fowey branch was a junior, but much the most successful, branch. Philip I Rashleigh (died 1551) had been the first to settle at Fowey, having purchased from the crown in 1545 at the Dissolution of the Monasteries the manor of Trenant, near Fowey, formerly a possession of nearby Tywardreath Priory.[8] His eldest son Robert inherited the lordship of Trenant and made his seat at Coombe within that manor and continued the senior, but less successful Cornwall line of Rashleigh of Coombe until 1698 when his descendant Robert Rashleigh (1645–1708) (whose monumental inscription survives in Fowey Church[9]) the last in the male line, sold Coombe to his cousin Jonathan Rashleigh of Menabilly, who sold it out of the family in 1699.[10] Philip's younger son John I (died 1582) in 1573 purchased the estate of Menabilly,[11] near Fowey, and together with his father was responsible by their privateering or shipping enterprises for greatly expanding the port and trade of Fowey.[12] John I's son John II Rashleigh built the first of the family's mansion houses at Menabilly, which thenceforth became the family seat, and remains occupied by the Rashleigh baronets in 2013. Matilda the wife of Robert Rashleigh (died pre 1390) of Rashleigh, in her widowhood had granted to her younger son John Rashleigh, by her charter dated 1397, her lands in Barnstaple, and in Newport in the adjoining parish of Bishops Tawton.[13] On receiving his maternal inheritance John changed his surname to "Bray", and was thus the patriarch of the Rashleigh family of Barnstaple, from which the Cornwall branches were descended. Matilda's elder son, whose name is not known, inherited the paternal estate of Rashleigh, which remained held by his direct male descendants until the death of John Rashleigh (died 1503) of Rashleigh, whose heir was his 2-year-old "cousin" (possibly niece) Ibota Rashleigh, daughter of a certain Thomas Rashleigh, who by her marriage into the neighbouring family of Clotworthy of Clotworthy, brought Rashleigh into that family.[14] The elder brother of Philip I Rashleigh (died 1551) of Fowey was Robert Rashleigh, who founded the family of Rashleigh of South Molton, in Devon.[15] Monumental brass of motherEmbedded in a stone in the nave of Fowey Church is the 1602 monumental brass of Alice Lanyon (died 1591), mother of John Rashleigh (died 1624). Above her head is an indentation for a now lost brass heraldic escutcheon, and below her feet is a plate bearing the following inscription:[16]
SistersHis six sisters were as follows:[17][18]
Shipping interestsRashleigh owned several ships and was engaged in widespread international trade, including to the Guinea Coast and the Baltic. He transported troops to Ireland in 1598 and his ships formed part of the Plymouth pilchard fleet.[26] He captained his own ship the Francis of Fowey during the repulse of the Spanish Armada in 1588.[27] Marriage & progenyIn 1575 he married Alice Bonython (c. 1556 – 1606), daughter of Richard Bonython of Carclew.[28] In 1586 he obtained through his influence the election of his brother-in-law John Bonython as MP for Fowey.[29] By Alice he had two sons and two daughters:[30]
