Will of THOMAS TRETHURFFE, Esquire Written 20 Sep 1528 Found in Testamenta Vetusta, pages 643-647 In the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I, Thomas Tretherffe, Esquire, the xxth day of September, the xxth year of King Henry the Eighth, being whole and perfect of mind and remembrance, thanked be Almighty God, and considering that the hour of death is uncertain, and that it is necessary every good Christian man, while his reason and health endureth, to dispose himself to be in readiness to abide the mercy of Almighty God, make and ordaine this my present testament and last will in this manner and form following.
First, I the said Thomas Tretherffe bequeath my soul to Almighty God, our blessed Lady St. Mary Virgin, and to all the Holy Company of Heaven; and my body to be buried, when it shall please God to call me to his mercy, in my parish Church whereat I shall fortune to depart this world; and I will that the day of my death there be said for my soul, and for all Christian souls, placebo and dirige, with masse of requiem on the morrow following.

Also, I give to the Church of St. Enoder, to be used at the tombe, my chalice and my payre of vestments sacred or halowed. Also, I will that after my decease my best gowne of damask be delivered to St. Enoder, and thereof a robe to be made, and so there to be used to the honor of God, of Our Ladye, and St. Enoder. Also, I will after my decease that the Churches Store of St. Columb the Nether shall have th'one halfe of my bote, with th'half of my seynne nett [Footnote: One half of his boat and sean net."], and all things belonging to the same att Towne. And th'other half I give to Alice, the wife of the said William Christopher.

These witnesses, Mr. William Reskymer, Parson of Ladoke, Sir Henry Bone, Preest, and Mr. William Bere, Gentleman. Proved in the Court of the Archdeacon of Cornwall, 26th October, 1529, and Administration was granted to the John and Alice within named. [Harl. MSS. 597, fo. 28, 29.] Note to the will: "The representative of an ancient Cornish family; and, in right of his mother, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Hugh Courtenay, of Boconnock, in Cornwall, Knt. he was one of the coheirs of Edward Courtenay, Marquess of Exeter, and last Earl of Devon of that family. John Vyvyan, mentioned in his Will, was the husband of his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, who was eventually his coheir, and from whom Sir Richard Vyvyan, Bart. the present Knight of the Shire for the County of Cornwall, is descended. It would perhaps be difficult to explain the motive which induced the Testator to bequeath the chief part of his property to Alice, the wife of William Christopher, in a manner creditable either to his memory or her virtue."
