The Musgrave family were previously seated during most of the 17th century at Huish Barton in the parish of Nettlecombe, Somerset, in which house is a plaster overmantel displaying the date 1698 and the monogram of the Musgraves. William Musgrave (1655-1721), of Exeter, a physician and antiquary, was the youngest son of Richard Musgrave of Nettlecombe. He attended the Trevelyan family of Nettlecombe Court, long time lords of the manor of Nettlecombe and wrote several treatises on arthritis and four volumes of Antiquitates Brittanno-Belgicae. The descent of Combe Sydenham in the Musgrave family was as follows:
  George I Musgrave (d.1721), who in 1693  purchased Combe Sydenham from Sir John Posthumous Sydenham, 2nd Baronet (d. 1696). In 1671 he married Juliana Beare (born 1651), a daughter of Thomas Beare (1631-1680) lord of the manor of Huntsham, Devon. His mural monument in Stogumber Church, sculpted on slate, shows the quartered arms of Musgrave impaling the canting arms of Beare: Argent, three bear's heads erased sable muzzled or, here shown couped, not erased, quartering the canting arms of  Clavell (de Claville), of Burlescombe, Devon & Loman's Clavell in parish of Uplowman, Devon etc.: Or, three keys gules (Canting arms from Latin Clavis, a "key").

  George III Musgrave (1717-1742), "of Nettlecombe", Somerset, who died aged 25, whose mural monument exists in Stogumber Church, erected by his daughter and eventual heiress Juliana Musgrave. In 1740 at Sherwell in North Devon, he married Catherine Chichester, eldest daughter of Sir John Chichester, 4th Baronet (1689-1740) of Youlston Park, Sherwell.
  Thomas Musgrave (1741-1766), son and heir, who died unmarried, aged 25 like his father. In 1765 he gave Combe Sydenham to  his sister Juliana Musgrave.
  Juliana Musgrave (Lady Langham), who after 1765 married Sir James Langham, 7th Baronet (1736–1795). In 1796, following her husband's death, she sold Combe Sydenham to George Notley of Chillington.
