But this and a pretty little estate, in all about £100 per annum, was
consumed by a dependant of his, John Resogan, jun. who lived at an
estate called Callestock-Ruol, i. e. Cullistock always adjoining to
this. [This etymon is so unmeaning that the mind rejects it at once. A
good one also presents itself. Ruy (C.) is a prince or king, and Ryel
(C.) is royal. The adjunct, therefore, denotes the mansion to be
royal, or one of the many mansions which the Kings of Cornwall had
upon their demesnes.] Chyton he sold to John Andrew of Trevellance in
this parish, in the year 1724.
I must go backwards now, and come to the manor of Trevellance, alias
Pencaranowe, id est, Pen-Carnow, the hill of rocks.
Trevellance, i. e. the dwelling in the Mill Valley (alluding to
Mellingy Mill in its neighbourhood, from whence another estate under
the said mill is called Nancemellin, i. e. to the mill valley.) [N.B.
Mr. Tonkin apparently forms Trevellance of Tre Melin Nance, three
words that could never by any contraction be shrunk within the compass
of it. The name appears below to be Trefelens; and Trevelin is the
house of the mill.] was the dwelling house of Mr. William Trefelens
(so writ by the error [when it appears below to be no error] of the
scribe) which, 12 Henry VIII. he settled by the name of Trefelens,
Penkaranowe, Trevelles, Polleowe, Coysgarne, the rights and services
in Nampara, and the rents and services in Runewartha, on Ralph John,
cler.
He sold it to William Tregea of St. Agnes; who in 16…, was forced to
sell it to pay his debts, to John Thomas in 1694; whose father ――――
Thomas, was of the Thomases [a later hand has added, of Glamorganshire
in Wales; he was the younger son of Howel Thomas of Glamorganshire, by
―――― the daughter of Sir Robert Burt of Pembrokeshire]; whose son John
Thomas, gent. [he died in 1733, and his son Andrew Thomas, gent. hath
the whole estate,] having married Jane, [in a later hand Anne,] the
only surviving daughter and heir of Mr. John Andrew of Trewellance,
will, after his decease, have in conjunction with his own, a pretty
estate in this parish. Mr. Thomas’s arms are [N.B. in a later hand,
Gules, a chevron and canton Ermine.]
