• TRENGOVE, John.
• John Trengove, the junior Member for one of the coinage towns in Cornwall in the Parliament of 1547, was probably a relative of Henry Trengove alias Nance*, clerk of the coinage. The clerk had a son named John, a student at Lincoln’s Inn in the late 1540s, who only attained his majority at the turn of the decade. As Trengove’s Membership is known only from the Crown Office list revised for the last session of the Parliament in 1552, the aspiring lawyer may well have entered the Parliament at a by-election, but if he was the Member the returning officer seems to have used the aliasrarely used by himself. The lawyer had a namesake, a tinner who brought tin to the coinages held at Truro in 1550 and 1551, and notwithstanding his obscurity his trade and links suggest that he was the Member.2

• --------------------

John Nance, Esquire, of Nance died after 1606 and before 1610. His widow Margery Arundell died 1610 at Illogan. She was the daughter of Sir John Arundell of Trerise. John was the first of the line to use the Nance spelling as a surname and place name. Apparently a shrewd trader like his father, Henry, besides inheriting the entire Nance estate of his father, was mentioned in the will of his brother-in-law, John Arundell, Esquire, in 1580 as receiving four tenaments. He is of record as buying several pieces of real estate but selling little. Besides this, he also made occasional loans to other members of the gentry, one being to Martin Trewynnarde, by which he foreclosed on the most important manor in St. Erth Parish, Trewynnard (Trewinnard).

John, Esquire, was also a member of parliament from Helston, tin center of the Kirrier Parishes. In 1595 he was made captain of the trained bands of the Penwith Parishes, which included St. Erth, St. Ives and Lelant, at which time he used Trewynnard as his western headquarters. This was during the period when it was feared that the Spanish were going to attack western Cornwall, and all Cornwall made preparations to protect their homeland. During this same period, John, Esquire, received correspondence from many of the leading figures of England and Cornwall, of which the Cornish museum has approximately 15 of these original letters. Most of these letters speak of John Nance as "cosen" (cousin), and if this meant blood cousin, then he was related to all the famous families of England at that time.

"I, Robert Cooke Esquire, Clarencieux, principle herald of arms for service to their prince or country in peace or warre, do grant a coat of arms applied unto John Nance of the county of Cornwall. I find in the records of my office, armes belonging to that name and family, that is to say _____ silver, a playne crosse humete sables, and for that I find no creast. I have given into him for his creast upon his healme an unicorn's head ermine ensuante out of a crowne horned mayned and bearded, gold mantle gule doubled silver as appeareth in the margin." Signed, February 5th. 1572 by Robert Cooke, Clarencieux, Roy d'Armes.
