TREVITHICK OF ST
ENODER
The
will of William Trevethacke of St Enoder, Cornwall, gentleman, dated 2 February
1657, leaves money to the poor of the parishes of St Enoder and St Eval and
names among others his wife Frances, son William, daughter Thomasine, daughter
Mary, daughter Grace, Christopher Trevethicke of London, taylor, and the
testator’s “welbeloved Freinds and Alyes” John Bawden, Samuel Gully and William
Gully. A codicil of 7 July 1658 mentions William Trevethack of Padstow
(probably Petrockstow) in Devon, clerk. The will was proved on 10 December
1659.[1]
Administration
of the estate of Lewis Stribley of St Wenn was granted on 8 November 1689 to
William Trevithick of St Enoder, during the minority of Lewis’s son William
Stribley,[2]
confirming that the Mary Trevithick who married Lewis Stribley at St Wenn in
1671 was the Mary Trevithick baptised at St Enoder in 1651/52.
There
are earlier Trevithicks recorded in the St Enoder parish registers, including
Gregory Trevithick and Katherine Hockin who were married in 1611.[3]

[7] Frances is named in William’s will and in some of the baptism entries for his children in the St Enoder parish registers. Her parentage is unclear, but given the mention of Gullys in the will of William Trevithick, there is a possibility that she was the Frances, daughter of Francis and Mary Gully, who was baptised at St Enoder on 5 Aug 1621.
