Since the Michell family inherited the estate of Harlyn, John Michell appears to have married the daughter and sole heir of Thomas Tregoys of Harlyn in St. Merryn who died in 1507 (temp Henry VII). Thus ending the direct male line of inheritance of the Tregoys family.

This marriage would have occurred before 1507 as that is when John used the Coat of Arms quartering that of Tregoye (Tregoiz, Tregoz, Tregoys, Tregoye, Tregos) . This would be where the Harlyn property came to the Michell family. (KJM 20-5-06)

From Donovan Michell's 1st book:-

According to the historian Carew of Antony, the family of Tregoys ranked amongst the English nobility at the accession of William, Duke of Normandy after the Conquest.

First mentioned in England was Robert de Tregoiz, Sheriff of Wiltshire in1191(Anglo-Norman Armoury - Cecil R Humphrey-Smith). His grandson John was summoned to parliament in 1299. The name of a John Tregoiz appears in the Fitzwilliam Roll as bearing Arms. 'or, two gemels with a lion passant gardent gules in the chief'.

In 1305 the first Baron Tregoz of Goring in the county of Sussex was also summoned to Parliament.
