Would anyone on the list be able to pinpoint the following places near Hatherleigh - Medlands Upcott and Lock's (Upcott?). I have been able to establish that my g-g-grandfather,James Jewell occupied these lands between 1787 and 1824 through Land Tax Assessments & Apprentice Indentures from the DRO. In 1841 the Medlands Upcott land was owned by a Joseph Oldham and occupied by a John Tucker. My g-g-grandfather died in 1838. The only maps I could find online referred to Medlands & Upcott in 2 separate localities. Any help would be appreciated. Margaret in Australia

You could try locating them on the Devon Tithe Maps: https://new.devon.gov.uk/historicenvironment/tithe-map/ You need to find them listed on the Tithe Apportionments and that will give the relevant numbers to look for on the map.
