 [1]      it is uncertain which William married Anne YEAMAN and which married Mary YEAMAN; the arrangemant shown is preferred because William & Ann named their first daughter Joan (name of William’s mother) and also used the names Richard and Sarah (names of William’s siblings)

 

[2]      it is uncertain which of these two John’s (if either) married Sarah WRIGHT and which married Martha PEZZACK.  Neither of them named any son William, and either John would have been 39 when he married Martha.  It is possible however that John & Sarah’s first child was named Mary, though the register records her as a child of John & Mary.  No other references to parents John & Mary were found and the baptism occurs at the right time for a baptism of John & Sarah’s first child.  If this is correct then this John is likely to be the son of William and Mary.  The above arrangement has been drawn on this slender evidence.

 

[3]     the Paul register notes that this William was hung for murder:

 

          B 27Nov1792 Martha BLEWETT. “This aged person on Monday 26Nov1792 between 9 and 10 oclock in the forenoon as she was journeying on the road from Mousehole to Paul church-town was robbed of all her little property which she had by great industry and parsimony scraped together for the support of declining age and most inhumanly murdered, her throat being cut from ear to ear, for which William TREWAVAS junior of Mousehole, fisherman, (a young man not exceeding the 26th year of his age) was on the Thursday (the same evening that this unfortunate woman was buried) apprehended and from a variety of depositions and corroborating circumstances committed to the County Goal {sic} as the person supposed guilty of this atrocious and bloody deed.

 

          Inscription upon a cross erected in Mousehole Rd near the place where the body of Martha Blewett was found: ‘O remember the Almighty the Great King of Kings and Lord of Lords hath in the table of his law commanded thou shall do no murder’

 

         NB.  William Trevawas was tried at Launceston for this murder and found guilty and suffered the punishment due to his offence on Wednesday 28Mar1793”

 

[4]     the register records Mary as a child of John & Mary  but no other references to parents John & Mary were found and the baptism occurs at the right time for the baptism of John & Sarah’s first child.  It is possible that this is a transcription error

 

[5]     Mary TREWAVAS is shown on the right hand side of this tree as the daughter of John & Martha C1806

 

[6]     Mary TREWAVAS married Benjamin TREWAVAS as shown on the left hand side of this tree

 

[7]     irom census records

 

[8]     various websites contain genealogies of the Trewavas family in Australia; Kerry Reid (nee Trewavas) believes she is descended from John Reseigh Trewavas & Jane Angwin

 

[9]    several sources report that Edwin Trewavas aged 19 son of a Mousehole fisherman was a passenger on the steamship “Nile” when she struck rocks near St Ives and sank 1Dec1854 with the loss of all on board..  Edwin was returning home after several years at sea. Only his bible and discharge sheet were recovered (The Times 8Dec1854, Royal Cornish Gazette 8Dec1854, ‘Cornish Shipwrecks’ by Clive Carter p58).  Several Internet sites state Edwin died in Dec 1854 near Indonesia but no sources are given.
