THE ORCHARDS

This file contains the earliest family of ORCHARDS in MAWGAN-IN-MENEAGE, Cornwall

For an overall index of this family see the Orchard INDEX file.

For earlier Mawgan generations see the Orchard ORIGINS file.

For a brief history of my own Mawgan branch of Orchard family see the Orchard HISTORY file.

This file was put together jointly by Ken F STEWART < kjstew@iinet.net.au > and Ernie ORCHARD < orchardme@att.net > and added data was provided by many others

This tree is provided to family historians without prejudice. I have constructed most of my family trees using the data I have available, and in a few cases it is estimated as the best fit from available choices. In this tree, several of the links are yet to be proved, so any help that you can give to confirm any line would be appreciated by me and others searching in this family. More modern families also need your inputs, because as I can link modern families to each other, and thus it enables a focus on their common ancestry. The memories of one branch may not be complete, but yet may fill in gaps of another branch. Only by a concerted effort can we really define the true lineage. Help me to help you by sharing what you have. Many additional details have been provided by other researchers and where possible I have included the contributor's email addresses within the file next to their families, however there are countless others also involved. I am willing to also add you in to your ORCHARD family. My thanks to you all.

The migration pattern of this family is quite traceable from the place of birth of their offspring.  The left side of the tree comprising the family of the elder sons ‑ Hannibal (1713‑1785) and Philip (1719‑ ), and thus the usual heirs to any farming lands,  mainly stayed in Mawgan until around 1850.  By this time the younger sons families were expanding quite quickly so would be causing some economic pressure on the small farming community. When the South Australian Company opened land up for farming and settling, then Victoria had its gold rushes, and the Silver‑Lead mines of Moonta and Wallaroo began in South Australia, these young farmers joined the many Cornish families who left for Australia.  It is noticeable that these families after reaching South Australia seemed to concentrate on farming rather than mining.

 

The right side of the tree had the growing families of Francis Orchard (and Alice Pascoe), the youngest son of Philip and Mary. By not having the farming birthright of his eldest brother his own family would have felt the pressure of the need for meaning‑ full employment much earlier and began to move out of Mawgan‑in‑Meneage around 1800,  seeking a living from the mines of Cornwall in Redruth.  The youngest ‑ William, married Jane in Constantine and settled Redruth c1795. Next move came from Edmund and Margaret in c1802, and lastly Philip and Mary in c1808 (but then their eldest William married in Redruth and moved back to Mawgan in c1818).  From these Redruth families were the immigrants who mainly went to the USA.  I get the feeling that their main urge for migration was mining in the USA.  At least one family is found in the Copper mines of Upper Michigan and sections of this family also joined mining towns in South Australia and Victoria.

 

Another grandson of Philip and Mary ‑ Hannibal (1750's‑1785) is in limbo between these two groups.  He is not attributed definitely to either side of the tree as yet.  He married around 1775 and had six children, but died in 1785 in the year his youngest was born.  This would have left his wife Ann Pascoe with six youngsters and no supporting father.  It is most likely Ann (nee Pascoe) who took her young family to Sithney, probably to be with her own family.  Here they grew and married around 1806 or later and began large Sithney families.

 

I have assumed this story by reading between the lines, and applying a little knowledge of social history of both Cornwall and South Australia.

THE ORCHARDS

                                                                       

THE THIRD GENERATION

FAMILY MIGRATIONS IN CORNWALL

The children of Philip Orchard and Mary Trewren remained mainly in Mawgan or moved to the nearby areas of Perranuthnoe and Crowan to raise their families. 

                       

However around the turn of the century the four sons of Francis Orchard and Alice Pascoe moved from Mawgan‑in‑Meneage to bring up large families in Sithney and Redruth.  This divided the Mawgan ‑ in‑Meneage family into two large halves

                       

The six main third generation Orchard families are detailed in the following pages. I have not expanded the family trees here but they lead to the big family trees that I have developed in other files. Ken STEWART <kjstew@iinet.net.au>

Nansevyn Vean tenement

Nanseven Veighan tenement belonged to John Hele of Wembury prior to 1636. Hele then sold it to John Bassett of Mawgan-in-Meneage, yeoman, on 1 November 1636. Hele reserved a lease previously granted to Hannibal Bassett (who we believe is the father of this John) on the lives of William Harry (father or brother probably of Amie Harry wife of Hannibal Bassett) John Bassett (the purchaser) and Peter Bassett (his brother). John Hele's daughter and heir, Lucy, married a Francis Bassett, son and heir of John Bassett of Tehidy, on 23 April 1674 at Illogan

 

. Their son, also Francis Bassett, married Mary Pendarves, daughter and heir of John Pendarves, rector of Dunsteignton, Devon, to whom John Bassett sold the above property in 1659, for £120, and Pendarves covented to grant Bassett a lease for three lives. The property later descended by marriage to the Bassetts of Tehidy. [H.L.Douch letter as curator Royal Institute of Cornwall, to Harold Gross] (Ref: from B. BENNETT)

                                                BASSETT

 

Hannibal Bassett was born about 1575, probably the son of a John Bassett.  He may be named after Hannibal Vyvyan (1554 –1609) of Trelowarren in St.Martin.

He may have had a sister, Florance, the daughter of John and Margery Bassett, who was born about 1565. Margery was buried on 13 May 1589 at St.Martin.  Florance married Simon Carbens on 19 October 1589 at St.Martin-in-Meneage, a few months after her mother's death. They had three children but Simon died before his son, John, was married, in 1619. Anne Carbens, daughter of Symon, married Hazereball Bucher, son of William, on 3 February 1619 at St. Martin.

 

            Hanniball Bassett was a yeoman on Nansevyn Vean. He married Amie Harrie on 17 February 1602 at Mawgan-in-Meneage. Peter Harrie married Elizabeth Roberte on 3 October 1568 at Mawgan, and Peter Harrie of Nansiven was buried on 4 June 1609 at Mawgan. It is likely he was the father of Amie. Hannibal and Amie had eleven children; six of whom survived to be mentioned in Hannibal's will of 1641. He was not buried at Mawgan. Did he perish elsewhere during the Civil War?

            Of the eleven children of  Hanniball and Amie Bassett; Amy, Michell, Paschal, Hannibal and Maria  all appear to have died as infants. Margery and Mary are both named in their father's will of 1641 but both seem to have remained spinsters.  Elizabeth was baptised on 14 January 1615 and married Samuel Walters or Waters on 4 April 1638 at St.Mawgan [PR].They appear to have had two girls, Florence and Joan. Three sons are named in the will, John, Peter and Richard.

 

Nanseven Veighan tenement belonged to John Hele of Wembury prior to 1636. Hele then sold it to John Bassett of Mawgan-in-Meneage, yeoman, on 1 November 1636. Hele reserved a lease previously granted to Hannibal Bassett (who we believe is the father of this John) on the lives of William Harry (father or brother probably of Amie Harry wife of Hannibal Bassett) John Bassett (the purchaser) and Peter Bassett (his brother). John Hele's daughter and heir, Lucy, married a Francis Bassett, son and heir of John Bassett of Tehidy, on 23 April 1674 at Illogan. Their son, also Francis Bassett, married Mary Pendarves, daughter and heir of John Pendarves, rector of Dunsteignton, Devon, to whom John Bassett sold the above property in 1659, for £120, and Pendarves covented to grant Bassett a lease for three lives. The property later descended by marriage to the Bassetts of Tehidy. [H.L.Douch letter as curator Royal Institute of Cornwall, to Harold Gross]

            praysed means valued; furniture of the bed refers to the curtains, hangings, covers, etc. associated with a four poster bed; chattle lease is for a term of years rather than a lease on lives. Symon Olde made his mark as he could not sign and Peter Calenzo made a decorative pattern for a signature.

 

            The eldest son John Bassett was baptised on 9 November 1604 at St.Mawgan [PR] John married Elynor Olde on 26 January 1636 at Mawgan [PR] and they appear to have had five children.  Elynor was baptised on 17 February 1612, the daughter of Symon Old and Sisley Robert who married 29 January 1609 at Mawgan.  Symon was a contemporary of Hanniball Bassett, being baptised on 2 June 1588, the son of Stevin Olde and Christian Edward, and was a family friend whose name appears later on wills and inventories of the Bassetts. John bought Nansevyn Vean (or veor) from John Hele in 1636, the year he married, for £120.  He was a yeoman and probably farmed at Nansevyn for the next ten years. He was left Trebeasacke in 1641 in his father's will as well as half of Nanseven tenement. After 1646 he seems to be living in Helston. He sold Nansevyn in 1659 to Jo Pendarves for £120, but leased the property back at that time for £20 on the lives of his wife and two sons.  Elynor was buried on 5 January 1670, by which time her youngest child, Peter, had just reached the age of twenty one. John himself was probably buried on 15 February 1673. [PR]or 16 Feb 1681? No will at Bodmin, perhaps a higher court?  Where is Trebeasake?

            John was baptised on 14 February 1646 at Helston.

            Henry was baptised on 6 October 1649 at Helston.

            Joane was baptised on 23 October 1652.

 

            John's son Peter was baptised on 4 January 1649 at Helston, [PR] and we will refer to him as "the younger" to distinguish him from his uncle, also Peter Bassett. In 1671 Peter took up a lease on Nansevyn vean from Jo Pendarves, but surrendered the earlier lease to his father on the same property.  The lives on this lease included himself "and his affianced wife Sibil daughter of Thomas James of Perranuthnoe" Peter the younger may have inherited  a little on the eath of his father in February 1873; for he considered himself well enough off to marry on 20 June 1673 to Sibella James at Perranuthnoe.  Sibella was the daughter of Thomas James a yeoman of Perranuthnoe, and had been baptised there on 14 January 1653, so she was just 20 years of age. Their first child was named Thomas after Sibil's father, but unfortunately he died as an infant and was buried at Perranuthnoe on 18 March 1674/75, as son of Peter Bassett of Marazion. Their next child, Haniball, also died as an infant. They had two girls however who did survive to adulthood, Elinor and Ann. While they were still little girls their father died and he was buried on 14 April 1681 at St.Mawgan. [PR]. The little girls were fortunate in that they grew up with their mother and her new husband, Joseph Bassett, a cousin of their father, and had a number of younger half siblings with whom they apparently got on well.
