Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

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


Treworgy is owed by M. Kendal, and endowed with a pleasant and
profitable fishing and command of the riuer, which flitteth vnder
his house. He maried with Buller: his mother was daughter to Moyle
of Bake, and beareth A, a Cheuron betweene 3. Dolphins S.
Master Glyn of Glynfoord, manifesteth, by this compounded name,
the antiqitie of his descent, and [133] the ordinary passage there,
ouer Foy riuer. The store of Sammons which it affoordeth, caused his
ancestours ta take the Sammon speares for their Armes: for hee
beareth A, a Cheuron, betweene three Sammon speares S.
Sundry more Gentlemen this little Hundred possesseth and
possessioneth, as Code, who beareth A. a Cheuron, G. betweene
three Crowes. May, G. a Cheuron vary betweene three Crownes.
Achym, A. a Maunche Maltaile S. within a border of the first,
charged with Cinquefoyles, as the second Grilles, &c. But want of
information, and lothnes to waxe tedious, maketh mee fardle vp these,
and omit the rest.
It is hemmed in one the West, by the East side of Foy hauen, at whose
mouth standeth Hall, in Cornish, a moore, and (perhaps) such it was
before better manurance reduced it to the present fruitfulnesse.
