Of an ancient royalist Cornish family, Tremayne inherited a very large fortune from his great-grandfather.1Sir Nicholas Morice to Humphry Morice, 10 July 1709, Morice mss at Bank of England. A Tory and a friend of the Morices of Werrington, who probably returned him at Launceston, he voted against the Government in every recorded division.
