Trekyning aforesaid was for two descents the seat of the Jenkyns,
descended from James Jenkyn, gent., attorney-at-law, temp. James I.
who (from a mean origin, his father being a miller), by the inferior
practice of the law, got a very great estate, and married ―――― Carter,
the relict of ―――― Brabyn, and had issue Peter Jenkyn, Esq. Sheriff of
Cornwall temp. Charles I.
Nans-widdon, Nanc-widd-an, i. e. the valley of trees, or the tree
valley, in this parish, for four descents has been the dwelling of the
gentle family of the Hoblyns, of Leskeard or Treburge, in St. Pinoch,
as I am informed. The present possessor, Robert Hoblyn, Esq., married
―――― Carew of Penwarne; his father ―――― Apeley; his grandfather ――――;
and giveth for his arms, Argent, a fess Gules, between two flanches
Ermine. By Carew Mr. Hoblyn had issue, viz. Edward Hoblyn, Esq. his
son and heir, who married Avant’s heir, and left issue only a
daughter, married to ―――― Bickford, Esq.; Richard Hoblyn, bred a
merchant factor at Smyrna, that married ―――― Striblehill, but died
without issue; Robert Hoblyn, clerk, rector of Ludgvan, and a
commissioner of the pence and land taxes, that married the heir of
Burgess of Truro, and left issue only Francis Hoblyn, Esq., that
married Godolphin, and died leaving issue only a son named Robert,
heir; Thomas Hoblyn, attorney-at-law, that married one of Carter’s
heirs, and left issue by her John Hoblyn, of Kenwyn, Carew Hoblyn,
clerk, and other children, and three daughters; Anne, married to
Bishop, rector of St. Colomb Major; Grace, married to Pendarves,
rector of Maugan; Mary, married to William Cock, attorney-at-law, of
Helston. From this house are descended the Hoblyns of St. Enedor,
Bodmin, Egleshayle, Helland, and Gurran.
Bode-worgye, now Bos-worgy (on part of the lands whereof are yet
extant the ruins and downfalls of an old chapel or cemetery extant
before the Norman Conquest), formerly the voke lands of a man taxed in
Domesday Roll, 20 William I. 1087, for four or five descents was the
seat of the genteel family of Keates, and was till lately in the
possession of my very kind friend Capt. Ralph Keate, who died without
marriage or issue, and therefore settled this Bosworgy, and other
lands, upon Sir Jonathan Keate, Bart. of the Hoo, in Hertfordshire,
patent 478, 12 Chas. II. whose father married the only dau. and heir
of W. Hoo, of Hoo, Esq. Sheriff of Hertfordshire 5 Charles I., a
younger branch of the Baron Hoo of that place, whose heir was married
to the Earl of Huntingdon temp. Henry VIII., and in testimony thereof
gave the same arms as those barons, viz. Quarterly, Argent and Sable.
Those Keates within the memory of man, as they branched downwards,
married with Bear, Hals, Avery, and others, and gave for their arms,
Argent, three cats Sable. Keate, Ceate, in British, is fallacy, cheat,
or delusion.
