• At Erisey, partly in the parish of Grade, partly in Ruan Major, there existed for a long time an ancient and honourable family, taking its name from the manor.
• "John Eyr, of Herysey," already mentioned in an extract for the " Inquisiciones Nonarum" (temp. Edward III), was evidently one of the earlier members of this family.
• Thomas Erysy, at whose expense the roof of the nave of old Grade Church was erected in 1487, is the earliest member of the family mentioned in the Inquisitiones Post Mortem. A daughter Elizabeth, married Ralph Bonython.
  • ' James Erisey, son of the preceding, was next possessed of the manor and family estates. He married Margaret, daughter of John Durant, and died in 1522, the brass in Grade Church being to his memory. He was Sheriff of Cornwall in the time of Henry VIII; and it is recorded of him that he commanded the train-bands of the Hundred of Kerier, and with the "posse comitatus" successfully drove off a band of marauding Frenchmen, who had landed from a fleet cruising in the Channel, after having burned part of Marazion.
    • James Erysey, son of the Sheriff, succeeded his father. He married Cristina, daughter of Roger Greynfeld. He died in 1538, and was followed by John, his son.
      • Richard Erysey died in 1569; he was succeeded by his son,

        • James Erisie, aged, at his father's death, "14 years and not more." He died in 1601, and was succeeded by his son,
          • Richard Erysie, "ten years of age, and not more" at his father's death. . . .

• TREFFRY, Thomas II
• Bodmin 1545
• ?m. 'Elizabeth, da. of James Erisey (d.1522)'.1
• It was as Thomas Treffry 'junior' that the senior member for Bodmin was returned to the Parliament of 1543, a suffix which serves to distinguish him from Thomas Treffry I. What the relationship between the two was remains unknown. The last Parliament of Henry VIII's reign was originally to have met early in 1545 but not long after the writs of summons went out its opening was postponed until the autumn. In Cornwall the two knights for the shire were chosen at a county court hald in January but the elections for the boroughs were not held until later in the year, the last being that for Bodmin on 26 Sept. The Members returned for the Cornish boroughs were young and (as far as we know) new to the House. The majority of them were connected with either the sheriff Sir Richard Grenville* or the receiver-general for the duchy of Cornwall Sir Thomas Arundell*, but no link between these two and either of the Treffrys is known. The lord lieutenant in the west, Sir John Russell*, Baron Russell, visited Devon and Cornwall during the summer to inspect fortifications and while doing so he presumably met the elder Treffry, who commanded on of the castles over-looking Falmouth harbour, for he brought this castle's lack of ordnance to the notice of the Priby Council. The elder Treffry had himself sat for Bodmin in the Parliament of 1529 (and perhaps in more than one of its successors), so that he could have been instrumental in his namesake's election, with Russell probably having the final word. No other trace of the younger Treffry has been found unless he was the sevant of Chancellor Wriothesley who during 1546 carried messages between Brussels and London. There is also the possibility that he was the knight of the shire returned with Henry Chiverton (the other Member for Bodmin in 1545) to the third Parliament of Mary's reign.2

• Pensignance.
• Pensignance, which belonged in the fifteenth century to the Durant family, was in 1514 settled by John Durant on his daughter 'Margaret on her marriage with James Erisey (R/1780).' His daughter Joan also received property (R/1719). After a conveyance (? by way of mortgage) to Godolphin, it was bought by Richard Carew in 1583 (R/1784) and bequeathed to the Rashleighs by Sir Coventry Carew in 1750.
• Title deeds of Trevethan show that it passed from Godolphin to Bawden in 1620, and was still in that family in 1755 (R/1771). Later leases of it are from Rashleigh and Stackhouse.
