Michael and Elizabeth nee ?	see Data	see Family Tree	(generation 14)
(This text added to website in May 2011)

Michael was christened the son of Michael and Thamsyn Trease of North Petherwin in January 1619 and is almost certainly related to and possibly a grandson of William Trease of North Petherwin , the son of Michael and Margery who farmed Pattacott.

In 1641 Michael is recorded at Pattacott as Michael Trease junior alongside his father Michael Trease senior. When his father died in 1645 he received bequests additional to the £10 which was granted to all the brothers. He appears to be the oldest son and as such would have continued to farm at Pattacott. At a date unknown Michael married Elizabeth who was the mother of daughter Gertude (baptised in 1658). He also had an older child Michael who appears to have been born in the early 1640s and who may have been the son of Elizabeth or an earlier wife of Michael's. Michael's wife Elizabeth died in 1660.

In 1660 he was a signatory to the inventory of the will of Degory Doubt, husband of his Aunt Dorothy. In 1670 he renewed the Lease for Pattacott for the life of himself and his son Michael only. In 1680 he died and was buried in North Petherwin.

Michael had two children we know of:-

• son Michael for whom no baptismal record has been found. It appears that he was born before 1644 and from 1662 or earlier he left Pattacott to farm in Jacobstow. Somewhat improbably, he appears to have married Ruth Winter when he was about 60 and had four sons by this marriage. He was buried in North Petherwin in 1723 and his wife Ruth was buried there 24 years later in 1747.
  
  
• daughter Gertrude was christened in 1658. In 1685 she married Oliver Gregory in North Petherwin. Oliver appears to be the son of Oliver and Elizabeth Gregory of Advent who were living close to Clement and Thamsine Symons who is thought to be her Aunt. Oliver and Gertrude had a large family, many of whom continue to live in the area. Gertrude died in North Petherwin in 1723 and Oliver died in 1744.
