GILLARD OF
TRENEGLOS
Probate
records help to identify the parentage of Jane (Gillard) Holman. The will of
Nicholas Gillard of Treneglos, written in 1692, mentions
among others his daughter Jane, son Nicholas and son Robert. The 1729 will of
Nicholas Gillard of Otterham mentions his kinsman
John Holman of Warbstow, kinswoman Jane Holman, and
brother Robert Gillard. The will of Robert Gillard
of Warbstow,
written in 1734, names his nephew John Holman.
