One Sir Roger Pomeray of this tribe cousin and heir to Roger de
Vallorta, lord of the castle of Trematon, dead without issue male, did
by deed 12 Edward III. release to Prince Edward, then created Duke of
Cornwall, all his right, title, and interest in the said castle and
manor of Trematon; in consideration whereof King Edward III. granted
him and his heirs an annuity of 40_l._ per annum, to be paid out of
the Exchequer. The last gentleman of these Tregony Pomerays, temp.
Elizabeth, left issue one only daughter, married to Richard Penkivell,
of Resuna, Esq. in whom is terminated the name and estate of that
family, who gave for their arms, Or, a lion rampant Gules, within a
bordure engrailed Sable.
Mr. Penkivell, lord of this manor, borough, and leet, temp. Charles I.
having wasted his whole patrimony in this and other places, sold this
manor of Tregony Pomeroy to Hugh Boscawen, Esq. Sheriff of Cornwall 10
Charles I. from whom it passed by descent to his son Hugh Boscawen,
Esq. father of William Boscawen, Esq. who settled it as part of his
wife’s jointure, on the Lady Anne FitzGerald, daughter of the Right
Hon. Charles Earl of Kildare, who, over-living her husband, was
married to Francis Robartes, Esq. youngest son of the Right Hon. John
Earl of Radnor, who is now, in her right, as freehold for life, in
full possession thereof. The arms of Penkivell are, in a field Argent,
two chevrons and in chief a lion passant Gules.
King John by virtue of his manor of Tybester (vide CREED) granted the
liberty of fishing, or the royalty of the river Val, to one of the
Pomeroys, lord of the manor.
To remove an action at law depending in the court-leet of Tregony, the
writ of certiorari, or avedas ad curiam, was thus directed, as was
also the precept for members of parliament. Seneschallo et Ballivo
Henrici Pomeray, Manerii sui de Tregoni Pomeraye, in comitatu
Cornubiæ, salutem; again, ad curiam C. W. Arm. de Tregony in comitatu
Cornubiæ salutem. Who this C. W. Esq. set down in the Exchequer should
be, query? I take it to be Charles or Christopher Wolvedon, of Golden;
and this to be that manor set down in the Domesday Tax, by the name of
Tregny Medan aforesaid.
