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.
