Peter Trounson was born in approximately 1728 in Cornwall, England and was baptised at Ludgvan, Cornwall on 28th December 1728. His parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Trounson (nee Williams) and his siblings were William, Elizabeth, James and Thomas.
It should be noted that surname Trounson is often misspelt in offocial records. Other spellings include TROUNCE and TRONSON, but there are many other different spellings.
On Peter's baptism record, his surname is recorded as 'Trounson or Evah'. The reason for the listing of two surnames is that it appears his father was also in a bigamist marriage with a woman by the name of Anne Nicholas. No mother is recorded on Peter's baptism, so it is unknown whether is mother was Elizabeth Williams or Anne Nicholas. Peter would go on to use the Trounson surname throughout the rest of his life.
Marriage[]
Peter married Joan Karn at Ludgvan in Cornwall on the 27th April 1750. Her origins are currently unknown.
The couple would have and raise their children in Ludgvan.
Death of Daughter[]
Peter and Joan's first born daughter Mary died at age 5 and was buried in Ludgvan on 19th August 1755.
Possible land lease[]
It is possible, but not yet proven that Peter leased a property called Chyvellan in Lugvan and St Hilary. The property was owned by Francis, Lord Godolphin and included two closes called the Mill Closes, formerly part of the barton on Truthwall in Ludgvan. Further research is required to determine this.
Death[]
Peter died in the year 1772 and was buried at Ludgvan on 13th March 1772. His wife Joan would outlive him by 7 years.
