This barton, which is of a very good yearly value, was once the dwelling of a family bearing the same name; the last of which family had an only daughter and heir, who married ______ Williams of Herringstone in the county of Dorset, which match was the first settling of that family in Cornwall. The arms of Williams are, Argent, a greyhound current between three Cornish choughs Proper, within a plain border Gules, charged with six crosses formee Or and as many Bezants. The present Mr. Williams, owner of this barton, lives at a place adjoining called Trewithan, where the family removed, probably disliking the dirty situation of Trevorva. TREWITHAN, THE TOWN OR DWELLING OF TREES. This place lies high and very pleasantly. After the Williams’s had flourished for some time at Trewithan, Courtenay Williams, when he had foolishly squandered away a pretty estate, and a good fortune too, which he had with his wife Elizabeth, the eldest daughter and coheir of the Rev. ―――― May, also M.D. sold this barton for £2700 to Philip Hawkins, esq. brother to the Rev. Dr. Hawkins of Pennance, and a member in this present Parliament (1730) for Granpont. He now resides here, has very much improved this seat, new built a great part of the house, made good gardens, &c. THE MANOR OF WALVEDEN, GULDEN, OR GOLDEN. There flourished for a long series of years a family of the same name, the last of which, John Walveden, esq. had only two daughters and coheirs, of whom the eldest having married ―――― Tregion, esq. brought to her husband this and several other fair estates. The other sister, Catherine, married Nicholas Carminow, esq. of Trenouth in this parish. On the decease of his father-in-law, which happened in the year 1514, Mr. Tregian settled himself here, and lived in great splendour. Leland mentions the house as building, and Carew says, Walvedon, alias Golden, fell into Tregion, by match with the inheritrix thereof. Their son married an Arundell of Lanherne. Their grandson with the Lord Stourton’s daughter. The arms of Tregion are Ermine, on a chief Sable, three birds Or, beaked and legged Argent.
