TREMAYNE FAMILY HISTORY

Eighth Generation
26 John Tremayne
b abt 1460 marr Jane Carew abt 1480(no issue)
Jane Carew was the daughter of Thomas Carew and his wife Jane formerly Carminowe.(Harl.MS 1538)
John Tremayne of Tremayne St Martin in Meneage was made Sheriff of Cornwall in 1487. Court rolls of the Sheriffs Tourn in the
hundred of East Wivelshire survive for the years 1487-1489 (ref CRO CY7249 7250)
(John Tremayne of Collocmbe or Sir William Haughton Sheriff of Cornwall 1485 Thomas Grenville 1486, Alexander Carew 1488)
JANE CAREW
In 1487 we read of a John Carewe, clerk, Prior of the Hospital or Priory of St John the Baptist next to the bridge of Helstonburgh. A
relative of Jane’s ?
The Carew family are the descendants of Walter, Constable of Windsor and Gladys, dau of Rywallon ap Conwyn Prince of North
Wales in the reign of William the Conqueror.
27 William Tremayne
b abt 1465 died before 1524 possibly 1497 Cornish rebellion ? marr Elizabeth Lannargh abt 1485 Cornwall
They had the following children:
1 Thomas b abt 1487 Cornwall Military Survey 1522 Landowner Lelant and St Ives. 1535 Tinners Muster Roll Helston.
2 John b abt 1490 Cornwall Subsidies 1524/25 Mawgan in Meneage.
3 Richard b abt 1495Cornwall Military Survey 1522 Landowner Constantine. Cornwall Subsidies 1524/25 Mullion.
4 Michael b1497St Keverne(named after the 1497 Cornish rebellion leader Michael Joseph Angof of St Keverne?>>>
Borlase (the historian) wrote of the 1497 rebellion (google Cornish Rebellion 1497)
“ some of the most ancient and honoured families in the district had joined the rabble ranks. Estates changed hands by wholesale,
and there can scarcely be a collection of old Cornish records in the county which does not bear traces of some forced conveyance or
compromise effected at this period by a captor on the lands of his captive”
Interesting theory
Could William Tremayne above and John Tremayne b abt 1470 (Collocombe/Heligan branch) then residing at Carwythenack Manor
Constantine have joined the rebellion. Both family members seem to have died abt 1497?
Also William was disinherited by his father Laurence and by his older brother John. His niece Margery Nanskylly became the
heiress of Tremayne Manor….. Punishment for joining the rebellion?
William and Elizabeth Tremayne resided at Tregemynyon, St Keverne in 1489.
Elizabeth Tremayne was listed as a Widow on the 1524 Subsidy Rolls of Helston.

Historical note
14th January 1506
King Philip and Queen Juana of Spain and their retinue met with a hurricane in the English Channel.
The King and Queen sat out the storm in the channel for two days but the ship carrying the Spanish Ambassador managed to land at
Falmouth where he wrote “We are in a very wild place which no human being ever comes save the few boors who inhabit it, in the
midst of a most barbarous race, so different in language and customs from the Londoners and the rest of England that they are as
unintelligible to those last as to the Venetians”
