Benjamin Penkevell

In 1596 Francis Penkevill and Katherine his wife conveyed to their son Richard, Tregavern in St. Endellion, and Tregear in St. Kew. These farms afterwards passed to Thomas, youngest brother of the said Richard, who, in 1625, married Dorothy daughter of Nicholas Mathew of Tregildren in St. Kew, and settled at Tregear. In 1656 Benjamin Penkevill, son and heir of Thomas Penkevill, Gent., levied a fine of the said Thomas and Dorothy his wife, of six messuages in Tregear, Ambell-Eglos and Tregavern ; and in the same term, the said Benjamin suffered a fine in one messuage in Amble-Eglos to Thomas Callaway. Benjamin had a daughter named Ursula, who, in 1687, married Thomas Hill of Michaelstow.
