context_page_description: Benjamin Incledon of Pilton House, Pilton, near Barnstaple in North Devon, was an English antiquarian and genealogist. He served as Recorder of Barnstaple.
context_section_description: In 1757 at Tiverton he married Margaret Newton (died 1803), second daughter and co-heiress of John Newton of Tiverton. She died at the Castle, Barnstaple, on 8 September 1803. He left children including:
  Robert Newton Incledon (1761–1846), eldest son and heir, who in 1797 married Elizabeth Beavis, the adopted daughter of Col. Henry Beavis of Yeotown, Goodleigh, son of Henry Beavis, Mayor of Barnstaple in 1738 and 1751, the latter whose portrait survives in Barnstaple Guildhall. On 5 July 1803 Henry Beavis was appointed by the King as Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant (of 441 men) of the Barnstaple Volunteer Infantry (one of several regiments then being raised nationwide to defend against a possible French invasion by Napoleon) and in 1826 was trustee of the Barnstaple charity established by the will of John Phillips (died 1734), whose executor had been the Colonel's father Henry Beavis. The senior line of the family of Beavis had been from the 16th century lords of the manor of Clyst Satchville, Devon. In 1822 Clist House was the seat of Lord Graves, whose father Lord Graves had purchased it from the executors of "Miss Beavis" (died 1801). In 1806 Robert sold Pilton House to James Whyte and in 1807 was resident at Yeotown House, the mansion house on his wife's family estate of Yeotown, which he re-built with neo-Gothic facade of his own design, of which survives today only a castellated lodge with two square towers and a crenellated bow-window, known as Ivy Lodge. Robert purchased the manor of Goodleigh, whose tenants were exempt from toll at the markets and fairs at Barnstaple, from the Rashleigh family. He left two daughters, including Margaret Incledon, the last of the Incledon family, alive in 1890, jointly lords of the manor of Goodleigh in 1850. The large inscribed grave-slab of Robert and his wife Elizabeth survives in the south aisle of the chancel of Pilton Church.
  Betty Incledon (1738-), who in 1782 married Thomas Rose Drew (1740–1815) of Wooton FitzPaine, who inherited The Grange, Broadhembury, Devon, on the death of his elder brother. Individual oval portraits Betty and her husband painted by Lewis Vaslet (1742–1808) survive in the collection of Dunster Castle in Somerset. She died without children.
