TRETHOUAN OF
OTTERHAM
The
will of Thomazin Moyse of Otterham, dated 19 October
1734, mentions her husband John Moyse, her sisters Elener Trethouan
and Rebeckah Trethouan and her father William Trethouan. The witnesses were Edmund Turner and Thomazin Trethouan.[1]
William
Trethouan of Otterham was
probably closely related to Jane Trethouan who
married John Rowse at Treneglos in 1699/1700.[2]
The will of John “Roose” of Warbstow was witnessed by
William Trethouan in 1721.[3]
There was a William Trethowan baptised at Mylor in
1678, son of John and Eleanor, who could be the William who married Thomasine
Turner. The other children of John and Eleanor included a Jane, baptised in
1667.
Thomasine
(Turner) Trethouan may be the Thomasine Turner
baptised at Poundstock in 1679, daughter of Richard
and Mary. There was also a Thomasine Turner baptised at St Gennys
in 1687, daughter of Thomas, but that would be rather late for an individual
married in 1702/03. The Edmund Turner who witnessed the will of Thomasine (Trethouan) Moyse was apparently a brother of Samuel Turner
of Treneglos and John Turner
of North Petherwin. The 1691 will of their father Edmund Turner
of Treneglos does not mention a Thomasine so it is
not clear whether Thomasine (Turner) Trethouan was a
member of the same family.

[9] Will dated 16 Aug 1771, proved 13 Dec 1771 (Kresen Kernow, AP/H/6437); Warbstow parish registers. The burial entry gives the name as “Thomasin Holman”, but no Thomasine Holman to whom the entry would be likely to relate has been found. As Rebecca (Trethouan) Holman, who lived at Warbstow, is known from her probate documents to have died between Aug and Dec 1771, and no burial record has been located for her elsewhere, it appears that the name Thomasin in the register is an error for Rebecca.
