MY PELLOW FAMILY
|
The early part of this family tree
is based on 'The Pellowes of Penryn' by Dr E. F. Pellowe
|
| Through his research, Dr Pellowe has discovered that the first member of the family in the record is Johannes de Pellor. We find him in the Cartulary of St. Michael's Mount. This document which has been in the hands of the Cecils at Hatfield since 1612. It is a letter to the prior from John de St. Sydinus asking him to receive Gilbert de Pellour as tenant for the tenement that John (his father?) held in chief in Marazion. 'Because I have given to Gilbert de Pellour my total tenement in the town of Marazion, situated between the tenement of Odo of Taluian and the tenement of Oliver of Marazion to be held in chief from you and your successors.' Given at Marazion Jove's day on the morrow of St. Katherine the virgin in the fifteenth year of King Edward son of King Edward (Thursday 26th Nov. 1321). Five years later Gilbert de Pellor is mentioned again who in 1326 brought an action against his brother Fabian about some land at Pellor. Fabian admitted the land to be his brother's who then granted him the property to hold for life provided Fabian rendered unto Gilbert one rose at the feast of St. John yearly. We come across Gilbert again in 1341 4 when in action in the King's Court, the rents and services of Gilbert de Pellor and his heirs for lands held in Guarl by Mahasyou are mentioned. The latter is the old name for Marazion near Breage |
