Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

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

Saintabin, whose very name (besides
the conquest roll) deduceth his first auncestours out of Fraunce.
His graundfather married Greinuile: his father, one of Whittingtons
coheires: which later couple, in a long and peaceable date of yeeres,
exercised a kinde, liberall, and neuer discontinued hospitality.
Himselfe tooke to wife the daughter of Mallet, and with ripe
knowledge and sound iudgement, dischargeth the place which he
beareth in his Countrey. Hee beareth O. on a crosse G. fiue Bezaunts.
Pengueraz, in Cornish importeth a head to help; from which,
some deduce the Etymon of Pengersick, a fayre house, in an
vnfruitfull soyle, sometimes the inhabitance of M. Militon,
Captaine of the Mount, and husband to Godolphin, whose sonne being
lost in his trauaile beyond the seas, enriched 6. distafs with
his inheritance. They were bestowed in mariage (but by me not
orderly marshalled) as followeth: 1. to Erisy, and Sir Nicholas
Parker. 2. to Lanine, 3. to Trefuses, and Tregodeck, 4. to Trenwith,
Arundel, and Hearle, 5.
