Other surnames you are researching: Billups

Comments:
My mother was raised by William Lawrence Trevathan (1894-1945) (she was the orphaned niece of Lawrence's wife, Lilly White). Lawrence was the son of Henry Lewis Trevathan (brother to Robert Dempsey Trevathan) and Claudia N. Billups. H. L. was in turn th son of William Carter Trevathan and Sarah Jane Price. W.C. was the son of Dempsey Trevathan (1804-1875) and Mary Elizabeth Sory. In a booklet published in 1940, it is said that Dempsey and John, brothers and sons of Robert and Grace Trevathan came to his country from France bet 1820-1825. Yet the Trevathan Genealogy page says that Rober (m. Grace)t was the son of Robert the son of William of cornwall who came to this country in the 1600's. Could someone please update me on William Carter Trevathan's ancestry. Lawrence Trevathan was a wonderful father to my mother and in his memory and for her 80th birthday in March, I am trying to compile an accurate account of the family. Does anyone know of this French connection? Also, Does anyone have any info mation on Claudia Billups, Lawrence's mother? Any help will be appreciated.

I was amazed to come across this site devoted to the Trevethans/Trevathans. I did not know how many there were or how far they travelled to find work. I am starting with my great-grandfather Thomas and his brother John who moved to Yorkshire from Cornwa l to work in the lead mines. They were born in 1834 and 1840 respectively. I do not know what happened to them when the mines closed there in 1881. They were born in Chacewater, Cornwall near the mines in the area. Any information on this branch of the family would be welcome. ( It was however the Longs who moved to the USA- William and Beatrice. Beatrice married a Panton.)

Last week my son and I went to the Trevathan Cemetery site (Paris, TN) shown on the Geological Survey. The road to the site has fallen in! and is barricaded where it might give access to the property. The area consists of very large ravines. We attempte to enter through the higher portion of land, but it is dense and we didn't know who it belonged to. Also, in a very downtrodden part of town. As it was cloudy we couldn't see very much. Will try again, but it's a disgrace the way these old cemeteries re treated. There was absolutely nothing to guide us. Will have to get one of those gadgets that tells the latitude and longitude to find it, but will let everyone know what I find if and when I find it. Happy Hunting!!!

Further to my previous message, I have just been reading some of the entries in the guestbook. It is interesting to note that the place name Edgcomb occurs several times.

I wonder if the American Edgcomb originates from here ?

Charlie was my grandfather and died in 1944 in Kingsand,Cornwall. I have traced his ancestors back as far as Thomas Trevethan (1799-1885),having viewed parish records from the parish of Maker. My Mother was Patricia Elford Trevethan (1921-1997).Together w th my brother who lives in Australia we have established an Australian line emanating from Richard Trevethan (1765-1831) who also lived and died in Kingsand/Cawsand. We think Richard and Thomas are related but cannot find any link at the moment. I have re ently written to 9 Trevethan families who all live in the Plymouth/ Saltash area of Devon/Cornwall. To date I have had 2 replies 1 of which refers to the late William Alfonso Trevethan who served in the British Army during World War 1 and apparently was a driver for Lawrence of Arabia. Any further information would be gratefully received.

According to the family folklore taught to me by my father (who was a historian) and my grandmother, our branch of the Trevathans came over in the late 1600's, settled eventually in the Carolinas and then migrated over into what is now Kentucky. I think hat one of the ancestors was Robert Trevathan. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has information regarding the early history of the Trevathan or Trevarthan clan in Cornwall. Our family tradition is that during the raids on the Cornwall coast in the 900s by the Vikings, that some of these Vikings stayed in Cornwall and settled. It is these Vikings that were the first Trevathans and/or Trevarthans in Cornwall. Is this consistent with what others have learned?
