FAMILY OF PETER TREASE and ELIZABETH VENNING / ELIZABETH DAVIES
Peter is the son of Peter Trease and Ann Matthews and the grandson of Peter and Joan Sharp.
His daughter Elizabeth married Francis Collins in Portsea in 1836. John Trayes (son of William Treays and Grace Govett and possibly a cousin
of Peter) had married an Olive Collins in Portsea in 1826. Francis and Olive Collins may be related. Peter's son William named a son born
in 1844 Francis Collins Trayes.
Although Peter's son William is baptised in Launcells, Peter is at the time living in Stoke Damerel which is the dockyard area of Plymouth.
Peter is described as a Pensioner at the time of his third marriage and almost certainly joined the Royal Navy.

FAMILY OF WILLIAM TREASE and SARAH MARTIN
William is the son of Peter Trease and Elizabeth Venning. He married Sally Martin in Exeter St. Sidewll in 1824. The marriage of
James TRAIES to Francis PENGELLY is recorded there on 9thJuly 1820 - could there be a connection - could James be Williams's brother?
No children of the marriage of James and Frances have been found so it appears unlikely they stayed in the area.
A Joseph TRAIES married Mary LAKE there in 1786. That marriage has been attributed to the TRAIES family - see TRAIES research.

If, as seems likely, he is the author of the book Five months on a German Raider, he went to Thailand in 1897 (was shipwrecked en route) and became Principal of the Royal Normal College in Bangkok.
He was decorated by the King of then Siam (presumably in recognition of his teaching work) and on his return 20 years later was captured and wrote this book about the experience. He was married and had a daughter born in Thailand who was living in England in 1917.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE
?FAMILY OF ISAAC WHEELER and ANN TRAYS
This family is being researched to establish whether Ann TRAYS could be the daughter of Peter and Ann Matthews. Her birth date would fit.
"Walsford" (there is no such location in Cornwall and this is thought to be Warbstow) the place of birth from the 1851 census may fit.
Isaac Wheeler was born in Treneglos, neighbouring parish to Warbstow.
The Richard Treays Wheeler, William Treays Wheeler, and Peter Treays Wheeler match the names we know were given to the three sons of Peter
and Ann (nee Matthews) christened at Otterham, namely, Richard in 1782, William in 1779, and Peter in 1775.
However this evidence is circumstantial and inconclusive. Hopefully more information will come to light to enable a firm conclusion to be
drawn.
There is also the possibility of a related marriage in nearby Egloskerry:-
1772 m. 27Oct1772 Egloskerry. Lucretia Treese married Richard Wheeler (IGI M022532 and COD - Phillimores - index FREEZE)
1774 c. 16Apr1774 Egloskerry. Honour Wheeler dau Richard and Lucretia (COD)
1788 Apprenticeship indenture - Egloskerry. Honour Wheeler to John Couch (CRO p53/14/1)
No baptismal nor indeed any other record of this Lucretia Treese has been found although the unusual name Lucretia is known to have been
used by one branch of the Trayes families being researched. The name Honour Wheeler appears in a Treneglos burial of 09Jun1742.
Possibly Richard is the son of Richard and Honour: -
c. 20Jun1742 North Petherwin. Honour Wheeler daughter of Richard and Honour (IGI C02201-1)
...
c. 29Jul1769 North Petherwin. Mary Wheeler daughter of Isaac and Mary (IGI C02201-1)
c. 28Feb1773 Tresmeer. John Wheeler son of Isaac and Mary of Treneglos (COD)
