      Biography

      Per this archive:

      Otho Gilbert, of Compton, Devonshire was born at Compton 24 Mar 1419 and baptised in the Church of St. John the Baptist at Marledon. He died 2 Feb 1493. Sheriff of Devonshire 1475-6, he was a Yorkist and was the first on the list of those to receive knighthood if Edward V had been crowned. His IPM was taken at Exeter 5 Aug 1493 and cancelled 17 Nov 1514 because it was not indented as the statute required.

      Re: Pole's Devon, p. 280; IPM, Henry VII, 1: no. 755; Lists and Indexes, 9: 36; Devon and Cornwall Notes & Queries, 20: 63; Paget's Prince of Wales, 2: 472; Vivian, p. 405, 486.

      Through the lineage of his son Thomas Gilbert comes the famous English navigator, Sir Humphrey Gilbert.
