Gregor Family of Trewarthenick Cornelly
[from Administrative History]It was a mere investment of capital, for it led to no change in the habits of the merchant, who continued to carry on his business in Truro. He gradually acquired more property, and at his death in 1661 the family estates had expanded to include land in Warleggan, Traboe (in St. Keverne), Cusgean in Probus and Landvine in the parish of Ladock. [from Administrative History] Their son, Francis Glanville Gregor, born in 1816, did not marry until he was 53, and spent much of his life abroad. After his parents' death, he visited England only rarely and the administration of the estate was left in the hands of his solicitors and agents, Hearle-Cock and Parkin. Crippling death duties and high taxation forced him to sell a considerable amount of property. His childress marriage resulted in the estates being inherited by Lewis William Molesworth, his sister's son (Jane Frances Gregor had married Paul Molesworth, rector of Tetcot in Devon). In 1909 a considerable part of the property was sold, including Tretharrup, Trelaminny, Tregeage, Anhay, Traboe, Lesneage, Polpidnick, Mellin Mehall (all in St. Keverne area) and the tithes of Manaccan and St. Anthony in Meneage which had been in the family since the early seventeenth century. Lewis William's marriage to Jane Graham Frost, an American, was childless, and the remainder of the property passed to William's sister's son, Paul Arundel Welman.
