Elizabeth Gwillim - Wolford Chapel - Dunkeswell, Devon - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

Coat of arms of Elizabeth Gwillim, mother of Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe (nee Gwillim) in Wolford Chapel, Dunkeswell. (visit link)

She was the wife of Lt Col Thomas Gwillim (visit link) .

Here the heraldry gets a little complicated, as the Steward line is 2 generations prior. Elizabeth Spinkes was daughter to Elmer Spinkes and Jemima Spinckes (nee Stuart) (visit link)
Although the arms are the same, they are differentiated by the backgrounds: the background for Thomas Gwillim is black on the left side, and white on the right, indicating the he pre-deceased his wife. Elizabeth's is black on both sides.

Thomas died in 1762. Sadly Elizabeth died the same year, 7 months later during childbirth. Her daughter was Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe (nee Gwillim) (visit link)
