TRENEWITH, John (1426-97), of Fentongollan, Cornw.

Family and Education
b. and bap. 8 or 29 Sept. 1426, The inq. post mortem taken on the death of Trenewith’s father stated precisely that on the day of his father’s death he had been 18 years, 11 weeks and two days old, whereas the witnesses to his proof of age, taken three years later, claimed that he had been born and baptized on the feast of Michaelmas: C139/123/42; 140/42. s. and h. of John Trenewith (c.1403-44), C44/29/18. of Fentongollan by his 1st w. Joan, da. of James Nanfan* and Margaret, da. and coh. of John Megre† of Truro; gds. of Ralph Trenewith† (d.1427). J.S. Vivian, Vis. Cornw. 18, 434; J. Maclean, Trigg Minor, i. 72; The Commons 1386-1421, iv. 651; C1/16/701. John Trenewith was Ralph’s son by his 1st w. Joan, da. of Sir William Basset: C140/10/22. The inq. post mortem taken in Devon after the death of Trenewith’s father erroneously identified his stepmother Margaret Pomeroy as his natural mother: C139/123/42, m. 2. m. (1) by Feb. 1439, Elizabeth, da. of (Sir) Renfrew Arundell* by Joan (d.1497), da. of Sir John Colshull† (c.1391-1418); wid. of Edmund Stradling; C140/10/22; Vivian, 3. Even by 15th-century standards, the Arundells were remarkably lacking in imagination when it came to naming their daughters. Elizabeth Trenewith aside, Renfrew and Joan had another two daughters who were called Elizabeth, neither of whom can have been Trenewith’s wife for chronological reasons: CIPM Hen. VII, iii. 366. (2) ?Honor, sis. of Thomas Tregarthen*; C1/42/97. (3) by July 1485, Margaret, wid. of John Dogowe and Thomas Vaux of London. C1/64/21. It would appear to have been this John Trenewith who married Margaret Vaux, for she is described as a widow not long after his death. Her relationship with John Dogowe, a London pewterer who d. bef. 1470 is less clear. She was at one point known as Margaret Dogowe, widow, so she was probably his wife, rather than his da.: C1/44/173; 45/257; 204/9-12. 4da. E211/218; Vivian, 74, 438.
