• Notes

  Burial of an Anne Harris at Lifton on Dec 10, 1747 cannot be proved to be this Anne. It may have been the daughter Anne or another Anne Harris altogether. =========================================================================== The below marriage details firmly refutes that Mary Ham married this William Harris. Groom's Surname:Tynney Groom's Forename:William Bride's Surname:Ham Bride's Forename:Mary Year:1720 Month:Feb Day:20 Parish:Lifton Town Or City: County:Devon ======================================================================== Magna Britannia; being a concise topographical account of the several counties of Great Britain. Cornwall, vol 3, p. 128. Lysons, Rev. Daniel and Lysons, Samuel, Esq.. London: T Cadell and W. Davies, Strand, 1814. The barton of Lanyon appears to have taken its name from a branch of the ancient family of Lanyon, of Lanyon in Maddern, having settled there; and in this respect, perhaps, it differs fom any other in Cornwall; it is apparent, however, that they were the same family, branched off about the latter end of the sixteenth century, and it does not appear that before that time the name of Lanyon, as a barton, was known in this parish [Gwinnear]. Lanyon was sold, about the year 1785, to the late John Thomas, Esq., of Tregolls, and is now the property of Admiral Spry, who married his sister: it is still occupied by the younger brothers of M. Tobias Lanyon, surgeon at Camborne, who is the present representative of this branch of the Lanyon family The elder branch is extinct. Gwinnear, in the hundred and deanery of Penwith, lies about seven miles south-west of Redruth, and nearly the same distance north-west of Helston. The principal villages in this parish are, Cattebidrew, Drannock, Fraddam, Penhal, Tregortha, and Wall. i bid, p. 209 MADDERN, MADRON or MADDON, in the deanery and in the west division of the hundred of Penwith, lies about a mile and a half nearly north-west from Penzance, which is a chapelry of this parish, and is the post-office town The principal village in this parish is Lanyon. Lanyon, some time the seat of the Lanyon family, is now a farm-house, the property of the descendant, William Rashleigh, Esq, M.P.. ibid, p cix Lanyon of Lanyon in Madron, and of Lanyon in Gwinnear. - The popular tradition of these families is, that they were descended from two brothers who came over from France with Isabel, consort of Richard II, and gave their names to the two bartons in which they fixed their residence; and as a confirmation of this tradition, it is said, that their arms were the same as those of the town of Lanion in Brittany. This tradition we know to be, in some respects, erroneous; but contrary as it is to the general practice, we have reason to believe, that the tenement of Lanyon, within the barton of Coswin in Gwinnear, was so called by the family on its becoming their residence; but so far from there being any truth in the story of the brothers being founders of the two families, it is certain that the Lanyons of Lanyon in Gwinnear are deceased from Edward, a younger son of Richard Lanyon, who married Margaret Treskillard. This Edward is called by Leland, Lanyon of Coswin. That this statement is correct, is proved by the circumstance of Lanyon of Madron and Lanyon of Gwinnear being, at the time of the visitation of 1620, related so nearly as in the degee of cousin-germans. The elder branch of the Lanyons of Madron is extinct, but some of the family, descended from younger branches, are still remaining at Burian. Mr. Tobias Lanyon, now of Camborne, surgeon and apothecary, is the representative of the Lanyons of Lanyon in Madron and Gwinnear. Before the branching off of the families, there was a match with the heiress of Trelebicke; afterwards in the Madron banch, a match with a coheiress of Militon. Arms of Lanyon: - Sable, a castle with four towers Arg., standing on the waves of the sea, Az., over the same a falcon hovering, with bells, proper. ibid, p cxliii Noy of Pendrea in St. Burian married the heiress of that barton; extinct by the death of the Attoney-General's sons in the reign of Charles II The coheiresses married Lord Sandys, Willyams and Davies (ancestor of Davies Giddy, M. P). Arms of Noy: - Az three cross croslets in bend, Argent. ibid, p. 50 St. Burian Pentrea or Pendrea, in this parish, was for many years a seat of the Pendreas, whose coheiresses married Donnithorne and Noy. The latter inherited this place; and here, says Hals, was born William Noy, attorney-general to King Charles I., a learned lawyer, who died in the year 1634; his grandson sold Pendrea to Mr. Christopher Davis, from whose family it passed to that of Tonkin, in which it is still vested. Burnuhall in this parish, another seat of the Noys, which was sold also to the Davis's, belongs now to the Boscawen family; this house is said by some to have been the birth-place of William Noy. Pendrea and Burnuhall are now both farm houses. ibid, pp cv-cvi HARRIS of Kenegie in Gulvall, descended from a younger branch of Harris of Heyne in Devonshire, to which estate they succeeded on the death of Sir Arthur Harris, Bart., without issue in 1673. On the death of Christopher Harris, Esq., the last heir-male of this family, in 1775, the Kenegie estate passed to the Arundells of Menadarva in Camborne, who took the name of Harris. The representative of both families is William Harris, Esq., of Pembroke College, in Oxford. The Harrises of Mount-Radford in Devonshire, being the elder branch of the Heyne family, were some time resident in Cornwall, at Trecarrell in Lezant, which they acquired by marriage with the heiress of Trecarrell alias Esse. On the death of Sir Christopher Harris without male issue, in 1624, both Trecarrell and Mount-Radford passed to the Harrises of Lanrest, in the parish of Liskeard, who appear to have been of the Heyne family, and bore the same arms. John Harris, Esq. of Lanrest, who married Jane, only sister and heir of Sir Chistopher above-mentioned, was immediate ancestor of John Harris, Esq., now of Mount-Radford. The family has not, for many years, had any residence in Cornwall. Ancient arms of Harris of Mount-Radford: Sable three crescents Argent; those of Heyne and Lanrest, the same coat, within a border Argent. ibid, p. cxxxvii Hicks of Trevithick in Alternon- extinct in the last century. Arms: - Arg a castle between three pole-aces, Sable. ibid, p. 97 [parish of St Ewe] The manor of Tregian or Tregyan, gave name to an ancient family, who, upon their removal to Golden in Probus, suffered the mansion on this estate to go to ruin. The manor of Tregian was forfeited in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Francis Tregian, Esq, its owner, having been convicted of seceting a Romish Priest. This manor has been dismembered; the barton became the property of the Hicks's, a branch of the Gloucestershire family of that name, who possessed also the barton of Trevithick, in this parish. At the latter place they built a capital mansion, which continued to be the seat of the family till the death of John Hicks, Esq, without issue in 1734. The barton of Tregian now belongs to Mr. Gaved of St. Mewan; what remains of Trevithick is a farm-house, belonging to Arthur Kempe, Esq, Admiral of the Blue. The Civil and Military History of Cornwall; with Illustrations from Devonshire, p 161 By Richard POLWHELE, Rev. London: Trewman and Son fo Cadell and David, Strand. 1806. William Hicks, son of Nicholas Hicks, Gent. was born at Kerris, in the parish of Paul, December, 1620; was a commoner of Wadham-college, in Lent Term, 1637 and there and through the classes of logic and philosophy. But being taken thence in the beginning of the civil war, before he could be honoured with a degee, he was by his relations put in arms against the king, and in a short time became so fanatical in his opinion, that he was esteemed by some to be little better than an Anabaptist. So that being looked upon as a zealous bother for the cause, he was made a captain in the trained bands, and became very forwad against those of the royal party He published Revelation Revealed; being a practical exposition on the evelation of St. John, Lon. 1659, fol. which book lying dead on the seller's hands, had a new title afterwards put, being date 1661, with the author's picture before it in a clock. Quinto-monarchia, or a friendly compliance between Christ's Monarchy and the Magistrates; being a Glass for the Quinto-onachians and others that desire to know under what dispensations of Providence we now live, etc - printed and bound with revelation revealed, etc. which was written (as the common report went in Exet. Coll. and Cornwall) by a kinsman of William Hicks, called Alexander Harrie, a minister's son in Cornwall, Bachelor in Divinity, and some time Fellow of the said college of Exeter; which book (revelation revealed) coming after his death into Hick's hands, he published it under his own name, without any mention of A. Harrie, who was a learned man, and held in great veneration by those that knew him. This M. Hicks died at Kerris, in the vey beginning of March in 1659, and was buried on the third day of the same month in Paul's chuch" See Wood's Athen. Vol. II, c 157. I have good reason to imagine the stone crosses that remained in this parish afte the refomation were thrown down or broken by order of Mr Hicks. He is noted by M. Ganter (Vol. iii, p 71) WO PLACES HIM IN THE Interegnum, clats the ninth, among the miscellaneous authors in divinity, history , antiquities, etc I have lately seen the copper plate whence the print in Gange was taken, which I apprehend is now become scarce. On the top of the polate is this motto, Da Deo et Caesari - in the margin, which is oval, circumscribing the figure, is the following insciption "Gulielmus Hicks, Gen aetatis suae 38 Anno. Dom 1658. Underneath the following verses: Though thou no Prophet art, no Prophet's son, Without their spirit, this could ne'er be done Though Brightman, Napier, Mede, are gone to rest, Their spight yet lives redoubled in they breast Ye that have cast th' Apocalypse in the ground, Because so dark, mysterious and profound, Why take it up againe, and use this Glasse Twill then so longe for a Mystrie passe"
