Trenwith

The Trenwith family has connections with the Lanyon family going back to Tudor times. Thomas Trenwith married Elizabeth Myliton, the daughter of William Myliton and Honor Godolphin of Pengersick Castle, Breage. Elizabeth’s sister was Phelype Myliton who married John Lanyon Esq.

It’s a confusing tree and I hope I’ve finally got it right!

The great grandsons of Elizabeth and Thomas; Renatus Trenwith and Ezekiell Trenwith married two sisters. Joan and Elizabeth Lanyon the daughters of William Lanyon and Elizabeth Ley alias Kempthorne. William was the son of Edward Lanyon and Margery Chappell and the nephew of Phelype Myliton and John Lanyon.

Renatus and Joan had a son called Thomas Trenwith and he married Rebecca Lanyon who was the great grand daughter of Phelype Myliton and John Lanyon.

Renatus and Joan had another son called Henry Trenwith and he married Constance (her surname is not mentioned in the Madron parish register) but she could be the daughter of Thomas Lanyon and Mary Levelis.

Confused yet?
