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.

Peter and Joan's first born daughter Mary died at age 5 and was buried in Ludgvan on 19th August 1755.
