George was probably the son of William and Diana Trewavas of St Buryan born about 1660. St Buryan is close to the western end of Cornwall. He baptised two sons there, but both moved to nearby Mousehole where the family remained. Three generations of Richards followed. The first was a farm labourer, but the second, Richard 6, achieved fame as the Kings pilot for Cornwall, an office which he held for nearly 40 years, including periods of war when he piloted the British fleet to safety from the Spanish and French His son, Richard 5, baptised in 1774 became a schoolmaster and fisherman, but also wrote poetry and letters, many of which were published. Both he and his father were converted to Methodism and biographies of their lives have been published His daughter, Jane, married John Wright, a local fisherman, and baptised ten children at the Methodist chapel. Her husband was the master of a fishing boat and the family spent their life in Wesley Square in the centre of Mousehole
