RESEARCH - WIVELL Family of North Petherwin

This page shows a tentative family tree based on information collated up to 27th January 2009 (amendedments since then shown in red - last
changed on 24th November 2009).
The construction of a definitive family tree is not currently possible because records are incomplete and may be of dubious provenance.
The information posted here is to support the ROOTSCHAT 'interactive' research into brothers Abraham and Walter WIVELL, the latter of whom was father of artist Abraham WIVELL.

In May 1645 in North Petherwin Degory WEEVIL witnessed the will of Michael TREASE his next door neighbour who died a few days later.

During research into the TRAIES family (believed to be descended from Michael TREASE), it was discovered that, in 1787, John TRAIES of St
Pancras London (but born in Crediton) had appointed Abraham WYVIL an executor of his will and evidence in the associated court case
Traies v Wivell showed that Abraham WIVELL had a brother Walter WIVELL who died bankrupt in 1791. These descriptions match those of the artist
Abraham Wivell's father and uncle given in this obituary which states that Walter Wivell came to London from Launceston (5 miles from North
Petherwin) when his business there failed.

The names Traies and Wivell (and their numerous spelling variations) are both uncommon and it is felt that both families may share common
roots in the North Petherwin area.

Research undertaken so far clearly indicates that the brothers Abraham and Walter Wivell (the father of Abraham Wivell the artist) are
descended from George WIVELL who married Blanch KINGDON at Launceston in 1713. Further research is being undertaken to identify the
family of this George WIVELL and determine the relationships of the other pre 1787 Launceston Wivells with other families in the hope of
finding a link between them, the TREASE family from North Petherwin, and the TRAIES family from Crediton (whose descendants include another
artist William TRAIES).

In April 1713 John WEEVELL married Katherine JOLL in Lewannick - he may be related to the George WEVELL above. His son John may be the John
who married Joan LUSKEY in North Hill but his son John may also be the John who married Goan Philips in Launceston in 1738 as shown above or
may be they are both the same John, and Joan LUSKEY is his second wife.

NORTH PETHERWIN WIVELLS
North Petherwin parish registers before 1653 have not survived so early research into this location requires use of other resources
not readily available. Wills proved at Bodmin prior to 1600 were lost/destroyed but a list of the lost wills was produced by Glencross
and includes the earliest North Petherwin Wyvell reference found so far - the 1602 Will of George Wevill.

After that the next references found are in the North Petherwin Protestation Returns for 1641/2 so if Digory Weevell had brothers it appears
they were born/moved elsewhere, if we assume that George and Joseph are the sons of Diggory mentioned in his 1651 Will.

George Wevill
1602 w. North Petherwin George Wevill (per Glencross list)

Diggory WEAVILL
1641/2 Protestation returns for hamlet of Pattacott list:-
Bate, Thomas: Roger, Deggory: Trease, Michael senior: Trease, Michael junior:
Weavill, Diggory: Weavill, George Weavill, Joseph
1645 Degory Weevil witnessed the will of Michael Trease of North Petherwin who died a few days later.
Michael leaves bequests to sons Richard and Samuel thought to be the Richard and Samuel who appear in Crediton a few years later.
Crediton is about 45 miles away and if they are Michael's sons, the reason for travelling there is unclear. There is a Wivell connection
with Crediton (see family of Thomas Wyvell of Wyvelscombe below).

George WIVELL

After 1665, all we have at the moment for North Petherwin are the IGI baptismal records which reveal no WIVELL baptisms at all but one
entry that may be a transcription error (no other references to name TREUILL in North Petherwin) ....

PLUS ...the 1693 will of Joseph WIVELL in which
he leaves all to his brother's son George. Inventory is performed by Degory Wivell who may also be his brother's younger son
BUT ... no marriage register entries.

Without marriage records it is impossible to interpret the above burial records with certainty but it is thought likely that the earlier
records relate to stillborn children who were not baptised in church except possibly for George who may have been the George baptised in
church on 22Jan 1690. Between 1693 and 1697 there is a gap when a further son named George may have been born and survived at least until
the next son was named Degory.
The later burials possibly relate to George Wivell his supposed wife Joan, and his brother Degory.
As the burial records start from 1672 and there is no record of daughter Mary, she may have died before 1672, died elsewhere, or married.

THE FOLLOWING IS ONE INTERPRETATION OF THE RECORDS BUT PLEASE NOTE NUMEROUS OTHER INTERPRETATIONS ARE POSSIBLE:-

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE

FAMILY OF GEORGE WIVELL and SUSANNAH JONES married in Marystowe in 1681

Marystowe is about 6-7 miles to the East of Launceston.
The information on this family has been extracted from transcripts of the Marystowe registers including the following Baptism and Marriage
Registers. It is the only family found so far on the Internet who have a son George of appropriate age for the Launceston marriage of 1713.
There may be other George Wivells in parish registers that are not on IGI or otherwise made available electronically.

Is he the son of George Wivell of North Petherwin?
1. This George Wivell appears to have been born elsewhere as he is the only Wivell in the Marystowe parish registers of that period.
2. He is unlikely to be one of the North Hill Wivells as the name George has not yet been found there.
3. He would have been the right age for marriage if the son of George Wivell of North Petherwin - under 18 in 1665/6
4. William Patchcott of Maristow carried out the inventory to Degory Wivell's will in 1652 so there is a possible link with Maristow.
5. The christian names used for the children do not match those used by the North Petherwin Wivells.
It is imposible to say, but on balance it looks more likely that he is related to the North Petherwin Wivells but not actually the son of
George Wivell.

Is he the father of George Wivell who married in Launceton in 1713?
1. His son George appears to have left the area by 1712. None of the other children appear to have made their home in Marystowe.
2. The George who marries at Launceston names a daughter Suzaneh but otherwise the correlation of names with the Marystowe family is not good.
3. The George who marries at Launceston would have been about 30 when he married, if he was the son of this George.
4. A family tree drawn up by Henry Couch in 1853 who married a descendant of George Wivell of Launceston references this George and Susannah
and a certified copy of the 1690 baptism register entry of their daughter Mary (which was obtained in 1811). Whilst this is not conclusive,
it indicates that family legend was that George and Susannh Wivell of Maristow were their ancestors.
5. The Launceston Wivells intermarried with JONES/JOHNS and DOIDGE families.
Again it is impossible to say for certain.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE

FAMILY OF GEORGE WEVELL and BLANCH KINGDON married in Launceston in 1714
George appears to be the first Wivell to set up home in Launceston. Abraham Wivell's baptism of 1714 is the first recorded at Launceston
(per IGI whose records start from 1681, but may be incomplete). The information on his descendants clearly points to him being the
grandfather of the brothers Abraham and Walter Wivell.

Ths George is thought to be the son of George and Susannah Wivell of Maristow for reasons stated but it is possible he
may have different parents. There was a Wivell family living at North Hill to the south of Launceston but the IGI baptism/marriage register
(C/M 052951) reveals many Wivells but none named George. The parish registers on IGI show no George Wivells.

We know that the christian name George was used by the Wivells of North Petherwin as a will of George Wivell of 1666 exists.

Jacobstow in 1701 appears to be the son of the William SPRY who married Mary CARNE in 1685 in Jacobstow who may be related to the Sophia
CARNE who married Frederick Henry TRAIES 200 years later. The Peter CANN may in turn be related to the Thomas CANN of PATTACOTT who in his

FAMILY OF GEORGE WIVEL and Jane TAPRELL married in Launceston 1730

This George is too young to be a son of George and Blanch. We are left with two alternatives:-
EITHER this is a second marriage of the George who married Blanch Kingdon (but would be old when daughter born in 1747)
OR this is a different George who has come to the area
The Launceston burial registers need to be searched for the possible death of Blanch WIVELL between 1719 and 1730.
If Elizabeth was his wife's daughter, you'd expect other children between 1734 and 1747.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE

ABRAHAM WIVELL and wives Joan LONGDON and Elizabeth DOIDGE
Abraham was one of the executors of the Will of John Traies who had been a cordwainer of SOho, London and whose father had lived in Crediton
before moving to Exeter, Devon. John's other executors were his brother, who lived in Crediton, and Daniel Baston who is thought to be related
to a possible stepmother Rose Badstone and to have lived in Exeter. It is thought that John may have chosen Abraham as a third executor because
he lived in London and could deal with matters of John's estate which needed local attention. John must have had a close and trusting
relationship with Abraham in order to have chosen him as an executor. The fact that Abraham came from the Launceston area close to where the
Trease family had lived may imply a family link down the generations possibly even by marriage.
The claim Traies v Wivell filed by William Traies indicates that Abraham was a carpenter and brother of Walter, father of the artist.

Family of THOMAS WYVELL of WYVELSCOMBE
This family appear in the 1620 Visitations of Cornwall as shown below (annotations in Italics).
In 1625 Thomas Wyvell became high sheriff of Cornwall and in 1627 he married Joan Wills, a widow, who appears to be associated with
Badharlick Manor Egloskerry. That property at some stage passed to John COUCH (formerly of Callington) and Grace his wife. Much of this is
referenced in the Couch Admas papers which also references the DINGLE family and other family names that appear in the various Wivell trees mentioned above. There may be some distant connections between these
Wyvells and the North Petherwin Wivell family.
