George Southcote (died 1589)

George Southcote MP of Calverleigh (1533–1589) was an English politician.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Lostwithiel in April 1554 and Tavistock in 1558; it is strongly believed that he was made a member of parliament for Tavistock due to his brother's great friendship and association with the 2nd Earl of Bedford, the lord of the borough.[1]

His daughter, Margaret Southcott, married John Davie (1541/2-1611/2) of Exeter, Crediton and Creedy. George had two grandchildren by the marriage a son and heir Sir John Davie, 1st Baronet (died 1654) and a daughter Margaret Davie, wife of Gideon Haydon of Cadhay, Epford and Woodbury.[2]
