A bit of a family interest for me in this one.......
from the Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal (London), Saturday, January 17, 1730
a robbery was committed in the Parish of Ludgvan, in the County of Cornwall, by five Highwaymen, viz. John BENNATT, Blacksmith, a middle siz'd man, black Complexion, and Pock-fretten, with a Mark on one of his cheeks, and has lost his left thumb. Peter CARBUS and John CARBUS and Arthur TREVASCUS all of the said Parish of Ludgvan, and Peter TRINK of the Parish of Lelant within the said County, who have all since fled from Justice. Whoever shall apprehend the said Persons, or either of them, so as he, or they may be convicted, shall be defray'd their Charges by the Said Parish of Ludgvan, (as well as be entitled to the King's Bounty) by us,
John Bennatt bapt. 28 December 1711 Ludgvan s/o John Bennatt
Peter Carbis bapt. 6 October 1706 Ludgvan s/o Thomas Carbis
John Carbess bapt. 13 March 1708 Ludgvan s/o Thomas Carbess
Arthur Trevaskus bapt. 9 June 1701 Ludgvan s/o John Trevaskus
Not found a record for Peter Trink.
John and Peter Carbis are, I believe, the brothers of Thomas Carbis who became a Privateer on the Defiance.
Thomas wrote a Will stating that he was sound of mind but not of body being hit by shot..... He left a number of personal articles including his best wig to his father and his second best to his brother along with his best yellow waistcoat, money (from bounty owed him) were left to his sister and father and money set aside for his friend to sing at his wake.
There was more but I shall have to hunt the Will out again for the details.
Makes me wonder..... Was it in the blood that my son decided to go to his first fancy dress party at school dressed as a highwayman
