Documents shown in this section tend to be those on which further research may be carried out, such as those where persons referenced have yet to be identified, or which contain information pertinent to the research of several families. Most other documents (except Wills) are in the data sections of the relevant families held on this website.
Administrative history:
Humphry Lawrence (1769-1811) married Harriet dau. of William Morshead of Cartuther in Menheniot. No property seems to have passed to the
Lawrences by the marriage, and these deeds may have been collected by N. H. P. Lawrence for genealogical purposes. Many relate to the Cole
estate in St. Cleer which the Morsheads gained by marriage in the seventeenth century, and some others to the Treise estate (see pedigree)
A first pass at producing abstracts of both documents is shown below, but
the author is a novice at transcribing such documents. Many of the words contain abbreviations usually shown by a flourish added after a letter or a wavy line above the word.
These are not fully understood yet and more work is required on these and on both documents generally to complete them.
The first document is a legal undertaking by George Greynvile that he will sell Castell Mylford to William Treys subiect to William making
payments to him on certain dates and times and agreeing to certain conditions.
The second document is a confirmation by George Greynvile that he has received the money from William
William Treyes paid £113 for the water mill at Castle Milford. The property was already occupied by Alice Treyes, a widow,
who may have been William's mother and recently widowed. William may be the William Treise of Castle Milford who died in 1622,
and the father of Leonard Treise the Recorder of Launceston who was born in 1573 or 1574.

Some background on George Greynvile can be obtained from his Will - scroll down in which he mentions: -
Interestingly, this document plus the property transactions for Fanston which was owned by one William Treise provide background to the Good families of Whitstone and North Petherwin. The indenture refers to Walter Good's son Richard helping George Greynvyle in the management of the manor of Penheale.

Transcriber Notes
Except for signatures, words in italics in this second have been deduced from words used in the original Indenture. The assumption that the same words would have been used may
be erroneous.
There are several holes in the second document. The missing words in these holes can be deduced by reference to similar/identical wordings in the first document.
NOTE1. Manurance means tenure or occupation (OED). Maybe Alice was already living there and maybe she was the mother of William of the
Indenture. As we know that Leonard Treise was born about 1574, one possible interpretation is that William Treyes of the Indenture was
Leonard's father, that Leonard's grandparents had lived at Castle Milford and his grandmother Alice was still living there in which case
the indenture may have been prompted by the death of Leonard's grandfather/William's father.

to have to Thomas Prust, his executors and assigns, from 24th June before the date of the indenture, for seven years. As the deed is not yet executed according to law because Degory Seccombe "by reason of his age and weakneses of body is
not able to travel to the severall places for the execution thereof," he has nominated Lawrence Deyman of Marcadon, Richard Deyman of Cheristowe and Peter Vine of Eggiston, Hartland, as his attorneys, to enter into the tenements and take possession of them to his use, and after the entry to deliver the lease
to Prust.

A 1628 property transaction refers to Fanston 'formerly in the tenure of William Treis deceased'. This may be William Treise of Castle
Milford who died on 4th May 1622. His Inquisition post mortem describes him as "gentleman of Tremaine" and "having no lands other than Castle Milford and Sockingham" bur neither of these is thought incompatible with him leasing and living in property nearby which is actually in Warbstow parish. It is conjectured that after his wife Mary was buried in Tremaine in 1614 and Agnes, thought to be his daughter, married there in 1616 he may have moved to a smaller property.
The property mentioned appears to be in the parish of Warbstow adjacent to the parish of Tremaine and variously
called Faunston, Faunstone, Fanson, Fanston, and nowadays Fonston. It may be the property described more fully below (from the document
at CRO numbered Z16/2/15/27a-c and dated 24/25 June 1776): -
In 1628 John Phillips of Stratton purchased the property from Walter Good of Whitstone. After that, the property is included in transactions with other properties
including Thorne in Whitstone, in which the interest of Mary Treise, nee Pethick, wife of Leonard Treise of Whitstone, is recorded in 1735.

Treesmill is about half a mile from Tywardreath and sits at the head of a valley which nowadays is covered by marshland but many years ago was covered by the sea.
GO TO INDEX or TO TREASE FAMILIES IN THE FOWEY AREA
A 12th century document listing the gifts of Robert de Cardinham to Tywardreath priory includes a mill called Melyntrait in the manor of Tywardrayt.
The Cornish word drait/dreath means "on the sand", thus Melyntrait, mill on the sand, aptly describes the location of Treesmill at that time.
Several Priory documents refer to the English name Treesmill (spelt in various ways), which was held by the Priory until dissolution in 1536, but no further references to Melyntrait have been found. No record of the acquisition of a property called Treesmill has been found and the only acquisition reference that appears to fit is in the 12th century document which cites the Cornish place name.
What is strange is how the Cornish name Melyntrait evolved to the English name Treesmill. It is conjectured that instead of translating the meaning of the word trait, it was simply put in front of the word "mill" to become Trait Mill or something similar which eventually became Treysmill/Treesmill. The possibility that the Mill was leased to a Trease family has been considered but seems unlikely as no documents have been found to support this and the Mill was close to the Prior and in 1522 was referred to as the Prior's Mill.
Interestingly nearby Looe the place name Millendreath still survives today as the original Cornish name.

A transcript of a Latin Document lists the gifts of Robert de Cardinham to Tywardreath Priory including "molendinum quod dicitur Melyntrait quod est situm in manerio meo de Tywardrayt cum tota moltura hominum meorum de eodem manerio" which translates to "the mill house called Melyntrait in my manor of Tywardreath together with all the grinding rights of my people in the manor".

Church Accounts for North Petherwin
In their Cornwall Records Office catalogue, the source document for the information extracted below is described " Churchwardens' accounts,
North Petherwin 1493 - 1589 (P167/5/1). However one of the items is now dated 1612 as described below. The reader should be aware that whilst
the events exist, the dates have been conjectured from other information on the page and although now revised there remains the possibility
that the date attributed to the event may be wrong.
On page 6 of his 1978 publication "A Trease Family 1552-1918", Emeritus Professor George Trease of Crediton refers to a hurried examination
of these accounts. Items 31v, 29v, and 59r were understandably missed but he also lists one entry not shown below:-
59r (1584) "Item Margaritt Trees 14d."
It is inconceivable that such an entry was not seen but it is possible that the name and/or reference number were transcribed incorrectly.
The pages of the accounts are not in sequential date order and are difficult to date (for example 47v was thought to be dated 1580 in
1978 but now (2010) it is thought to be 1612). The entry would indicate that Margaret's husband had almost certainly died at the time it
was made. If the entry should ever be found, it is most important that the date is correct. Because of the uncertainty surrounding that entry
it is best to ignore it at present.

Although North Petherwin and Werrington were West
of the Tamar they were designated part of Devon. Pattacott was originally owned by Tavistock Abbey who owned much property in the area.
Around 1539, after the dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII, the vast possessions that formally belonged to Tavistock Abbey
together with the great estates of the former priory of Launceston were acquired by Lord John Russell and his wife posibly to help him
exercise local leadership in what was regarded as a potentially troublesome part of the realm.
The leases examined date from after the property was acquired by Lord Russell. Leases for Pattacott prior to 1539 may exist in the records
of Tavistock Abbey but it is understood that there are no transcripts of the documents which are in Latin and that no index exists.
The Leases cover four areas of Pattacott: -

This report of the Court of the Manor of Polmayne is given in the original latin by Sir John Maclean in his Parochial and Family History of the Deanery of Trigg Minor in the County of Cornwall', Vol. III (1879).
De Johanne Treese seniori presentato Juratores Manerij de eo quod ipse apud Pollmeane predictum 13o die Maij anno predicto vi et armis &c.
in et super quendam Thomam Hicks alias Treglian in pace Dei et dicti domini Regis existentem insultum fecit et cum pugnis vel vnguibus de
corpore predicti Thome sanguinem retraxit contra &c. super quam quidem presentationem predictus Johannes Treese posuit se in gratia Regis
petens ad finem suam cum dicto Domino Rege admitti cui conceditur et per curiam afforatur ut patet super caput &c.

The following translation was made for the late Professor George Edward Trease by Mr J H Hodson, Archivist at Nottingham University:-
Concerning John Treese senior presented through the jurors of the aforesaid court that at Pollmeane aforesaid on 13th day of May in the
aforesaid year with force and arms etc. & against the peace etc. he attacked a certain Thomas Hicks alias Treglian who was in God's & our
said lord the King's peace, and, with fists or nails, drew blood from the body of the aforesaid Thomas against etc., upon which presentment
the aforesaid John Treese placed himself in the King's grace seeking to be admitted to his fine with the said lord the King, to whom it was
granted & he is afeered by the court as appears at the head etc.
fined 8d.
NOTES
'21st Mai 1635, theis under-written names are to be transported to St Christopher embarqued in the Matthew of London, Richard Goodland, Mr,
p. warrant from ye Earle of Carlisle'
NOTE: The list of names includes 'Samuel Trese 20 yeres'
(The Original List of Persons of Quality, Emigrants, Religious Rebels etc who went from Great Britain to the American Plantations 1600 - 1700'
p80 published 1874 author J C Holten)
This shows: - 'Degory Wivell 13s. 0d Michael Treis . .' and is thought to be a shared assessment between Degory and Michael. However it may be interpreted as showing that the original document was unclear or as has been noticed in similar taxation returns that although assessed and listed he did not pay. The Return starts and ends with a similar entry.
The survey of Duchy of Cornwall property was carried out during 1649/1650 (except Scilly Isles which was later).
The property of the Manor of Helstone in Trigg was recorded on 12Jul1650.
The customary tenants by agreement record for Tramagennow (Tremagenna in Lanteglos by Camelford Parish, Grid Ref: 097 825)
in the Duchy of Cornwall manor of Helstone in Trigg, includes the following entry:-
John Horndon junior by surrender of John Hare senior, one quarter tenement in Tremagennow,
Elizabeth Horndon by surrender of Anthony Horndon, one quarter except a house and two gardens,
Katherin Edwards by death of William Edwards her husband, the said house and gardens,
Margaret Rooby by death of Christopher Rooby her husband, one quarter,
Digory Seccombe by death of Walter Hele alias Hey, one-eighth,
Thomasine Trease, widow, by death of Michael Trease her husband, one-eighth, rent 7s 6d, fine 11s
OBSERVATIONS (from details above and notes below)
Michael Trease may have inherited his share.
There was a house and gardens owned by Katherine Edwards as a result of her husband William dying and
most of the rest of the property was subdivided into quarters:-
1. John Horndon junior from John Hare
2. Elizabeth Horndon from Anthony Horndon
3. Margaret Rooby from her husband Christopher
4. Other quarter:-
... Digory Seccombe as result of Walter Hey/Hele dying
... Thomasine Trease as result of husband Michael dying
It can also be seen that: -
1. Digory Seccombe married Philippa Edward(s) in Camelford on 02May1616 (about the same time as Michael married Thamsin).
2. He was living at Tremmagema in 1630.
3. He may be related to Digory Seccombe of North Petherwin.

Research
1. Get copy of Walter Hey's will of 1638/9 unfortunately only the Inventory has survived so unlikely to reveal much.
The Will of George HELE, Farrier of Bennetts, Whitstone probate 08Jun1653, possibly related, has following beneficiaries (COD)
Luce HELE (wife?), John (son); Margarett DOTYN & Luce MANCE (daurs); Henry DOTYN, Henry MANCE & Abell FRENCH (sons in law); Walter HELE (bro) & his wife Honor; Martyn GAYER; servants John HAMLY, Susan FRISH, John MORLAND. William HARVEY of North Petherwin, Thomas PAYNTER of Launcells & all grandchildren alive.

2. Investigate other families involved.
- The Edwards family.
Diggory married Philippa Edwards and inherited his share from Walter Haye - did Walter marry one of the Edwards?
Katherine Edwards inherited her share from William.
We could start with looking at: -
w. 1642 Will and Inv. of John Edward, yeoman of Lanteglos by Camelford. He may be brother of Philippa. (CRO AP/E/203)
NOTE1
A typical custom of the manor of the time (not specifically Helstone manor) was for a copyholder's widow to continue to hold the
tenement during her widowhood but if she married again the tenement to pass to her heir.
NOTE2
Digory Seccombe appears on an earlier entry:-
Digory Seccombe, in right of Philippa, his wife, tenament in Tremagennow.

The other 1/8th share was owned by Digory Seccombe on death of Walter Hele alias Hay. The Will of Walter Hay of Lanteglos by Camelford was

TOWN-HALL, CALLINGTON
A very novel case came on for hearing here on the 1st instant. JAMES HENWOOD, GEORGE TREISE, SAMUEL CARDEW, FRANCIS KINSMAN, WILLIAM
VICARY, BENJAMIN SAMBELLS, EDWIN W?MOUTH[?], WILLIAM TAPE, and WILLIAM ROWTER, nine members of a Society, entitled, "The Loyal and
Independent Order of Rechabites," were charged with stealing and breaking open the cash box of the society. From the evidence, which was
most voluminous, it appeared that the society had been established about 20 months, but was not enrolled. The box had been at different
places for security, and various parties had access to it. Circumstances, however, transpired, which led the defendants to suppose that
the money which they had paid was not altogether safe, as several members had obtained monies as loans from the secretary. A feeling of
dissatisfaction having spread among them, they came to the determination of obtaining the box, and abstracting so much of the contents
as they considered they were entitled to. Some of them called at the house of DR. PEARSE, where the box was deposited, and made an
application for it. The Dr. being from home, Mrs. PEARSE objected to giving it up, but on their stating it was wanted for a meeting,
she delivered it to them. They then committed the act which led to the present charge. The contents of the box amounted to GBP 52.8s.
when taken away, and it was afterwards returned, the defendants having taken GBP 8, which they considered they had contributed. The
investigation lasted seven hours, and the arguments were long and laborious. The Magistrates, after a long consultation, stated that
they did not consider they had power to decide the case, but that the next Quarter Sessions at Bodmin would be the best court to
adjudicate in the matter.

CAMELFORD COUNTY COURT Thursday July 22 before Mathew Fortescue, Esq., Judge
Humphry Bryant Jewell v. John Trease and others
In equity - Suit for partition
This was a suit for partition, possibly the first in the County Courts, under 31 & 32 Vict. c.40, ... (a12?)
Peter of Launceston represented all parties, and the case was heard as a consent case. The plaint stated that the plaintiff was seized in fee simple
in possession of one moiety of a close of land called Old Park, otherwise Olda Park Meadow, situate in the parish of St. Gennys, in the
County of Cornwall, and within the jurisdiction of the court; that the defendants claimed to be seized of the other moiety on certain trusts
under the will of John Smeeth which were set forth; explained the devolution of the title to this moiety, etc; stated that the value of the
fee of the entirety of the close did not exceed ... (500f.?) and submitted that the plaintiff was entitled to have the said close partitioned
so that one moiety thereof might be held by him, his heirs and assigns in severalty, The prayer was that the close might be partitioned
between the plaintiff and the defendants, so that the respective shares might be held in severalty by the respective parties and their
heirs and assigns respectively with all consequential directions, etc. Or, that if it appeared to the court that a sale of the said close
and a distribution of the proceeds of such sale would be more beneficial to the parties interested, then the plaintiff prayed for such sale;
application for a receiver, provision for costs, and further relief if necessary.
Four of the defendants were infants beneficially interested. The three first named in the plaint were executors of, and residuary devisees
under, the will of the ancestor in title of the defendants.
Peter accordingly moved on petition of infants and affidavit of their mother as to fitness for assignment of adult defendants as guardians
and ... to the infants, and the order was made.
The certificate of the valuer, with plan annexed, and assent of all parties to proposed terms of partition, having been put in and filed,
decree on terms of certificate was moved for and passed.
The decree, as passed, contained the necessary declaration that the infant defendants were trustees of the portion to be conveyed to the
plaintiff within the intent and meaning of the Trustee Act 1850 (Bowra v. Wright, 4 De G. & Sim. 265). It further provided for the
execution of the conveyance by the guardians on behalf of the infants, and for the vesting of the interests of the infants in plaintiff
on execution of such conveyance, under sect. 7 of 13 & 14 Vict c. 60. Deeds to be produced as court should order etc. Liberty to apply.

2. The defendants who were infants and their mother appear to be Alice Trease b 1860, Mary Trease b. 1862 and John Trease b 1866 the children of
Eliza Trease nee Spencer. We have so far found records for only 3 children whereas the legal report cites 4 children, so maybe there was
another child whose birth register entry has been missed and who possibly died before the 1871 census.

Fri 09Jun1882 Royal Cornwall Gazette - MUSIC NOTES
A few statements about the career of the Truro Volunteer Band may prove of interest t readers. Some years ago the officers commanding the corps determined to have a really creditable band and engaged a military bandmaster who possessed the highest testimonials of efficiency as an instructor and a performer. In January 1876 Mr Traise commenced duties. He found that the band then consisted of about half a dozen members, who possessed a repertory as small in extent as in merit; and the manuscripts which they chiefly used of a decidedly bizarre description. However Mr Traise set to work earnestly and skilfully and ere long the band was thoroughly reorganised, good instruments being obtained and some respectable music. A year afterwards Mr Traise took his charge to a contest at Kenwyn at which eight competing bands appeared, and successfully carried off first prize. His band also attended the Tremorvah, St Day, and Plymouth contests and in each case obtained the first prize. Thus the success of Mr Traise's teaching was soon manifested to the astonishment and chagrin of other bands; the success of the band especially at Plymouth caused quite a sensation. Although only numbering about sixteen performers, most of whom are very young men, they distanced bands of established reputation and superior numbers. It may be said that should another respectable brass band contest be held at Plymouth or any other town of easy access, Mr Traise's band would be among the earliest entries.
Seeing then the success of Mr Traise's band amongst bodies of a similar nature and remembering its excellent performances in the Concert Hall, in the market House, and in the open street, surely we cannot, without getting a lasting reproach to ourselves, allow the best brass band in the county to end its existence, whilst a small yearly subscription from each of us interested in its welfare - and in our name, if not exactly legion, in many - would be the means of averting such a deplorable circumstance.
It may be as well to state that the band fund is intended to supply the band master's salary, the pecuniary acknowledgment awarded to the members for regular attendance at practices, and the necessary sum for the purchase of new instruments and new music.

The death took place at Truro on Thursday of Mr Samuel Traise, whose name is familiar to the older generation of Cornishmen as the leader of the Truro Volunteer Band which won many distinctions in the county under his leadership. Aged 89, Mr Traise was a Crimean veteran. At the age of 23, Mr Traise passed out from Kneller Hall (the Army School of Music) and after 23 years in the army, was employed as tutor at Kneller Hall. later he was appointed bandmaster of Truro Volunteers.

The funeral at Kenwyn of the late Mr Samuel Traise of Woodland's Cottage, an old Crimean and Indian Mutiny veteran, was conducted by Rev F Thomas, the vicar. The mourners were Messrs George E Trease and Herbert Traise (sons) and Leslie Traise (grandson). Several representatives of the Old Voulnteer movement as well as members of Truro Town Band attended, deceased having been for some years bandmaster of the old Volunteer Band. Among the floral tributes were wreaths from the 4/5th Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry and Town Band.
