Notes from Donovan Michells chart)

John Michell of Treage in Colan appears thus in the old maps, now today identified as Tethiggey 1447 a free tenant in manor of St. Columb Major.

In 1461/2 appears in court rolls as holding lands in the manor of Treloy in St. Columb Minor. He acquired the estate of Harlyn and other properties by his marriage.

In 1510 court rolls he is mentioned as one of the heirs to his father William Michell of St. Columb Major.

He Probably married the daughter and sole heir of Thomas Tregoys of Harlyn in St. Merryn who died in 1507 (temp Henry VII).

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.

In Cornwall the name of Tregoye of Tregoye appears in many different spellings. Tregos of Helford in the county gives similar armourial bearings to the above, namely: 'Azure two bars gemel or. a lion passant in chief of the last'. Almost certainly these were the Arms displayed by the ancient armigerous family of Tregoys of St. Columb Major.
