Loose ends: MANN:COTTON:TREGURTHA:BASTIAN et al.

[Mal]

Hi guys, I have a few "loose ends" here, i.e. brickwalls!!! Apart from my ever present William Davis/Daves/Davies who married Mary Gendall, I have a few others. Any light anyone could shed would be much appreciated.

1. Hugh Weeks father of Harriet Weeks.
Harriet Weeks is given as being the daughter of Hugh Weeks and Patience Cotton on Cornwall OPC
Hugh was married twice 1. Patience Cotton 20th April 1839. 2. 5th June 1842 Martha Barr. Hugh is recorded as a widower. Problem is that Harriet (married Thomas Ellis Vingoe II), was born in 1843 according to my records.

2. John Pendar/Pender (b1759) and Thomasine Willis (b1765) married 11th October 1784, Paul.
Brickwalls both of them... any information?

3. Edward Matthews, father of Honour Matthews born c1755 and married to Thomas Cotton/Cotten b1757 Paul Cornwall. Can't find anything for Edward.

4. Elizabeth Keigwin, b1718 Paul Cornwall, married George Cotton in 1748. Daughter of William Keigwin. Can't find anything about this William Keigwin. I know the Keigwin family are an old Mount's Bay family, Keigwin Arms in Mousehole is pre 1595, being the only building that survived the Spanish Attack.

5. Cotton/Cotton family:-
Nicholas Cotton 1679-1751 wife=?
Nicholas Cotton 1637- ? wife=?
John Cotton 1600-? wife=?
John Cotton father of the above?
Found this
JOHN COTTEN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 22 APR 1582 Linkinhorne, Cornwall, England Son of George
Linkinhorne is a bit of a way from Paul However.

6. Dorothy Tresise died about 1670, wife of Jenkin Bodinnar 1628-1675 of Paul Cornwall. Any information?

7. Alice Richards died about 1702, wife of Thomas Bodinnar of Paul 1655-1724. Any information?

8 Richard Mann and Dorothy Tregurtha, married 24th April 1764.
Is Richard the son of William Mann and Elizabeth Tonkin? I can't work out his ancestry at all. Likewise Dorothy Tregurtha's grandparents, Edward Tregurtha and Dorothy Tonkin married 1695.

9. Susannah Baston/Bastian married John Tregenza 27th February 1784. I have Susannah's parents as being (possibly)
Richard Bastian & Elizabeth Anthony (married 27th December 1757)
in which case Elizabeth would be the daughter of Edward Anthony and Mary Penhall/Penhale of whom I have next to no information.


Right me ansums, if anyone has any information on these it would be most appreciated. You know sometimes you end up staring at lists for hours and whatever way you look at the names and dates they do and do not make sense at the same time!!!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!!!

I have just read your request for any information on John Pendar/Pender (bapt Paul 5 Aug 1759) who married Thomasine Willis (bapt Paul 22 Sep 1765; bur Paul 23 Jan 1847) on 11 Oct 1784 at Paul. Their daughter Elizabeth Pendar/Pender (bapt Paul 21 Nov 1802; bur Paul 25 Nov 1861) who married William Reynolds Drew at Paul on 7 June 1826 was my maternal 3xgreat-grandmother. I think that I have been able to trace both the ancestry of John and Thomasine back several generations.

John's ancestry goes like this:
Father - John Pender (bapt Paul 19 Sep 1730; bur Paul 29 Jan 1814) married Dorothy Gomer (born ca 1735; bur Paul 7 Jan 1803) at Paul on 1 Sep 1755; Grandfather - Robert Pender (bap St. Buryan 17 June 1682; bur 1767 St. Buryan) married Alice Walsh (born Sennen ca 1685) at Sennen 18 Oct 1712; Great-grandfather - Oliver Pender (born ca 1640) married Susan Carne (born ca 1642) at St. Buryan in 1671; 2xgreat-grandfather - Oliver Pender (born ca 1600; bur St. Buryan 1687) married Joan (surname unknown - born ca 1602; bur St. Buryan 1660) in 1640. I realise that the early information on the Pender/Pendar family is a bit vague, but it was taken from the on-line family tree of Dr. G. Mann whose notes also read: 'the 17th century Pendar family of St. Buryan were gentlemen and merchants. At least three generations used the name Oliver, which also occurs in the 16th century at Kilkhampton, North Cornwall - indicating a possible origin of the family there. The second Oliver had a son, Robert, who married Alice Walsh from Sennen. One of their sons, John, moved to nearby Paul Parish.'

Thomasine's ancestry is as follows:
Her father was William Willis, probably born ca 1730. I have not traced the Willis line back any further;
Her mother was Margaret Vingoe (bapt. Sennen 6 Jan 1732; bur Paul 12 June 1803) who married William Willis at Paul on 28 Feb 1753;
Margaret's father was John Vingoe (born ca 1695) who married Margaret Reed (born ca 1705); bur Sennen 2 Apr 1750) at Sennen on 9 Jan 1729. I believe that John Vingoe was also the son of a John Vingoe born ca 1670.

Hope to have been of help - Mary

You also ask about the ancestry of Richard Mann who married Dorothy Tregurtha. The Mann family also features in my late mother's ancestry. I thought that Richard Mann (bapt Paul 5 June 1736) was the son of William Mann (bapt St. Buryan 17 Sep 1709) and Ann Tremethick (bapt Paul 13 June 1703) who were married at St. Buryan on 28 Aug 1733. I believe that William's parents were William Mann (born ca 1690) and Elizabeth Tonkin (bapt Paul 20 Apr 1690) who were married at St. Buryan on 6 June 1708.
I think that Ann Tremethick's parents were Richard Tremethick (bapt Paul 30 Nov 1656) and Mary Leaha/Leah (bapt Paul 20 Aug 1660) who were married at Paul on 11 June 1681. The IGI names Richard's father as Thomas Tremethick. I believe that Mary Leaha/Leah was the daughter of John Leaha/Leah (bapt Paul 25 June 1626) and Christian (surname unknown). John was the son of Simon Leaha/Leah.

Hope this also helps - Mary

I referred earlier to the on-line trees of Dr. G. Mann. These can be found under 64 Family Histories with Trees and Genealogy and there are trees on several Penwith families - Pender, Blewett, Mann, etc.
