- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 1885, pp 38-40, appendices N1-N3:
HUGH MALET OF ENMORE AND DEANDON.
Hugh was the second son of Baldwin Malet, but his first by his second wife, Amicia, the daughter of Richard Lyffe, of Corypole, and coheiress with her sister Johanna, the wife of Walter Tilly.
In Sir A.M.'s MSS. there are seventeen extracts in which his name occurs, ranging from A.D. 1430 to 1485. He married Joan, the daughter of John Ronyon, of Bickfold, in the parish of Compton Martyn, in Somerset, by whom he had issue:
1. Thomas, his eldest son and heir.
2. William, from whom, I am told, the present family of Mallock, of Cockington, Com. Devon, claim descent,stating that he settled at Axmouth and married Agnes, the daughter of . . Pyne of that place.
3. Margaret, married John Crewkerne.
4. Joan, married Robert Brent of Cossington.
The deed of 1430* is executed by William Hastings (who must have been the trustee), securing to Hugh Malet and others the reversion of the manor of Deandon after the demise of the widow of his half-brother John, and of his father Baldwin. A deed of 1466 appears to be a portion of the Somerset inquest after his death.** There is a deed of A.D. 1461*** by which Hugh vests in John Wadham the elder, William Ronyon, and others, for six years, on account of the marriage of one of his daughters, and after that time in seven other names, his manor of Lydiard Punchardon, in trust for Johanna, daughter of John Wadham, and wife of his son Thomas. The last entry of 1485 is "Johanna nuper uxor Hugonis Malet, 1mo Henry VII.
There are other entries in which Hugh is styled Lord of Sutton Malet, Lord of Corypole, and Lord of Deandon, and as possessing the manor of Oke and property in the hundred of Cannington. His seal, Sir W. Pole writes, "has only a single escallop, as several others of the Malets had."

- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 1885, pp 40-41, appendices O1-O4:
THOMAS MALET OF ENMORE AND DEANDON.
Thomas Malet, the son and heir of Hugh Malet, by his wife Joan, the daughter of John Ronyon. The first entry that I find in Sir William Pole's collection concerning Thomas Malet is a portion of a deed executed by him in 1467,* which must have been near the time of his marriage to the mother of his eldest son, who was more than thirty years old at Thomas's death in 1501.**
Thomas Malet married three wives:
1st. Joan, daughter of Sir William Wadham.
2nd. Elizabeth.
3rd. Isabella, daughter of Sir William Courtney.
I do not find any information as to which of the wives the issue is to be attributed, but from the age of William I presume that he must have been the son of the first wife; the children were:
1. William Malet.
2. Baldwin Malet, of St. Audries, Somerset (West Quantockshead).
3. Margaret.
4. Hawise, married to John Coker, of Powderham.
5. Elizabeth, married firstly to John Ashley, secondly to Hugh Trow. The settlement on her first marriage is extant,*** and a copy of an extract from it from Sir William Pole's MS. is appended.
Thomas Malet's will was dated August 28th, 1500. The Rev. F. Brown's extract from it is appended,+ by it, among his other bequests, he leaves the manor of West Quantockshead to his son Baldwin, so that from this time the families of Enmore and St. Audries separate; William Malet taking the former, and Baldwin Malet the latter.
The inquest post-mortem was held at Bridgwater in 1502;++ it notes that Thomas Malet died on 9th July, 1502, and that his son William was then more than thirty years old, so that he was born towards the end of 1471 or at the beginning of 1472.
* Sir A.M.'s MSS., Vol. I, Sup. II, p. 13-14.

Dat: a'o 6'to Edward Iv. [A.D. 1467.]
** In Mr. Chisholm Batten's paper on Henry VII in Somersetshire, in the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society's Proceedings relative to Perkin Warbeck, he writes: "In October, 1498, some bonds were taken for good behaviour from persons in various counties who were not fined; among them is one from William Heron of Ford Castle, in Northumberland. In Somerset are such bonds taken from Thomas Malet of Enmore, Gentleman; Alex. Pym of Cannington, Gentleman; and John St. Abyn of Cannington, Esq., by three bonds; each of these three are made surety for the others. Their signatures are Thomas Malet, Alex. Pym, John Seynt Abyn. The documents are in the Record Office, Miscell. 916/14"

- Arthur Malet in "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family" gives his death date as July 9, 1502, but the Inquest Post Mortem gives it as July 9, 1501, and that date fits better with all of the other activity surrounding his death.
