SOURCES AND NOTES:
All unfootnoted information is taken from the Ludgvan, Cornwall, Parish
Register, LDS film #1595868.
Notes keyed to letters in () in above information:
a. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/T/396, Thomas Trousene of Ludgvan,
dp. __ December 1622. Written 29 July 1622. Names son John, son
Alexander, brother George (decd.); daughter Margaret Heamen, daughter
Susanna Cornowe, daughter Frances; Florance w/o son Alexander; Francis
s/o son Alexander; Thomas s/o son John. Mentions several "closes"
at Tolwaden (Gwele Down, Gwele Helles, Parc an Barad, Parc an Poole)
b. Ludgvan P.R. "25 June 1625 was married John Rogger to Jane ye daughter
of Alexander Trowson"
Ibid. "3 November 1627 was married mychell Perat and Grace ye daughter
of Alexander Trouson"
c. I believe this is one case where omnastic evidence can stand alone:
Nicholas Trounsen resided in Ludgvan as did Thomas and Alexander, and was
of the generation immediately following Alexander; Nicholas named his
eldest son Alexander, and his eldest daughter Florance.
d. Margaret's surname is not given in the Ludgven P.R.
e. Mary was probably the mother of the last two children. There is no record
of her predecessor's death in the P.Rs., but there is a gap in the
children between 1659 and 1663. Nicholas' youngest son Peter was almost
certainly a son of Mary, since he gave a daughter that name, but did
not name a daughter Margaret. But NOT proven; wife #1 COULD have been the
mother of all the children.
f. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, Wills, Nicholas Trounsen of Ludgvan,
dp. 22 April 1686. Written 6 December 1684. Names son Peter,
daughter Catherine, wife Mary.
g. The will of Thomas' son John (q.v.) names an uncle, Walter Thomas.
This Walter Thomas left a will (Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/T/483),
written 8 Mar 1626/7 and proved 3 April 1627, which names Alexander
Trounsen and his children; sister Margaret Trounsen, widow; Susan
Curnow and her husband William; Margaret Heyman and her husband John
and son Richard.
h. International Genealogical Index, Cornwall, LDS. Extracts of various
Cornish parish registers.
i. Madron, Cornwall, original Parish Register, LDS film #1595913.
j. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/T/491, Will of John Trounsen of St.
Hilary, written 7 Nov. 1625, proved 31 May 1627. Names wife Margaret,
children, Thomas, Walter, John and Ann Trounsen; uncle Walter Thomas;
brother-in-law, William Curnow; deceased father Thomas Trounsen;
Florance w/o Alexander Trounsen.
k. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/C/1372, Will of Susan Curnow of Marazion,
widow. Written 28 Oct 1664, proved 7 Jan 1664/5. Names various persons
with no relationship stated. Bulk of estate to Grace Perrott, neice.
l. Note: Susanna's mother died at her birth (she is buried on the day of
Susanna's christening). Since Peter Trounsen did not remarry for several
years; it is likely that Susanna was raised by someone else other than
her father. Peter's only surviving sister, Katherine Dale, very possibly
raised Susanna; this Katherine's daughter Jane Dale married John Glasson,
the brother of Susanna's husband.
