Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"

The occasion whereof groweth, partly, because their issue
female haue caried away the Inhabitance, together with the
Inheritance, to Gentlemen of the Easterne parts: and partly, for that
their issue male, little affecting [64] so remote a corner, liked
better to transplant their possessions neerer to the heart of the
Realme. Elder times were not so barraine: for besides the Lord
Tregoyes in Wil. Conquerours dayes, Bottraux Castle vaunted his Baron
of that title; both now descended to the Earles of Huntingdon: the
last deceased of which, retayning the honour, departed with the land
to my kinde friend master Iohn Hender, a Gentleman for his good parts,
employed by her Maiestie amongst others, in the peace gouernment of
the shire.
The Lord Bonuile his house was at Trelawne, alias, Trelawney, lately
purchased of her Highnes, by Sir Ionathan Trelawny, a Knight well
spoken, stayed in his cariage, and of thrifty prouidence.
The Lord Bray dwelt at [blank]: the Lord Brooke, at Kellington, where
one of them hath his tombe: the Lord Marney at Colquite: and the
Lord Denham at Cardenham.
