STRIBLEY OF ST
WENN
Lewis
Stribley of St Wenn,
Cornwall, yeoman, married Mary Trevithick at St Enoder
in 1671. The will of Lewis Stribley, written in 1689,
mentions his sons Henry and Thomas, his daughters Charity, Mary, Susan and
Frances (all under twenty), and his son William Stribley.
On 8 November 1689, administration of the estate of Lewis Stribley
was granted to William Trevithick of St Enoder,
gentleman, during the minority of William Stribley,
the son and executor named in Lewis’s will.[1]
The
will of Henry Stribley of St Wenn,
dated 5 October 1731, mentioned, amongst others, his wife Honour Stribley, his mother Mary Stribley
(“my Mother Mary Stribly shall have her Dyett and Lodging from the time of my Death during soe many
yeares as she shall happen to Live in my Dwelling
house att pengelly and att the Cost of my Executor hereinafter named”), his
daughters Honour Stribley, Frances Stribley, Susanna Stribley and
Anna Maria Stribley (all under twenty-one), his
daughter Mary Mitchell, his brother-in-law Richard Hawkey
of St Wenn, gentleman, and his only son Richard Stribley (under twenty-one). Administration of Henry’s
estate was granted to Richard Hawkey in 1732, during
the minority of Henry’s son Richard Stribley. An
inventory of the goods of Henry Stribley was taken on
13 December 1731 by Richard Hawkey of St Dennis and
Richard Bullock of Lanivet.[2]
This link with Richard Bullock supports the identification of Frances, wife of
Richard Bullock of Lanivet, as the Frances Stribley who married Richard Bullock at St Wenn in 1701, and as a sister of Henry Stribley
and daughter of Lewis Stribley.
A
Lewes Stribly, son of Gregory Stribly,
was baptised at Padstow on 24 May 1607.[3]
This seems likely to be connected with the St Wenn
family, especially in light of a Gregory Stribly
being recorded at St Wenn in the hearth tax returns
of 1664.[4]
Lewis Stribleys were buried at Padstow in 1619 and
1624[5]
and the will of Gregory Stribley of Padstow, yeoman,
dated 24 December 1635, mentions (among many others) “Thomas Stribly sonne of Lewes Stribly deceased”.[6]

Earlier in 1709, the will of Laurence Thomas of Lanivet mentioned that if “Robert Thomas My Son shall happen to Marry wth one Susan Stribly of the p[ar]ish of St Wenn” then certain property was to descend to Laurence’s daughter Jane (Kresen Kernow, AP/T/1818). However, Susan evidently married Nicholas Tremeer instead. Nicholas made his will only a few months after the marriage and Richard Bullock and William Tremeer were nominated as trustees in case Nicholas’s wife Susannah had a child within nine months of his death: Kresen Kernow, AP/T/1837.
[18] W.P.W. Phillimore, Thomas Taylor and Mrs J.H. Glencross, eds., Cornwall Parish Registers: Marriages, 4 (London, 1903), 101. William Marshall’s residence is given in the marriage record as Bodmin. The Bodmin baptisms include Lewis, son of William Marshall, on 25 Feb 1723/24 which lends some onomastic support to William’s wife being a daughter of Lewis Stribley.
