  • Notes 
    • Capt. John Vivian buried at Camborne 13th Oct 1790 aged 68.

      In an article in the Cornwall Family History Magazine Dec. 2001
      " Visitations " Re- Visited - The Camborne Vivians by Trevor Brokenshire Mem. No. 07960.
      Trevor has this to say of John Vivian;
      John Vivian - the PR has a John bap. 16 Feb 1722-23 the son of Leetell John Vivian. On 28th July 1746 John Vivian, the Elder, John Vivian, the Younger and others took from John Enys a Lett for copper in Wheel Bowan ( Park-an-Bowen Mine ). Amongst several adventurers were Francis Vivian and Richard Vivian. Candidates for "Elder and "Younger" are Little John and his son; but another possibility is John bap. 18 Aug. 1716 ("Visitations" date for John Vivian of Vellandaundry) is the son of John bap. 9th Jan. 1686-87 who married Alice on 14th Nov.1715; those John
      s may be the "Elder" & "Younger". Possible support for this theory is that John and Alice had other children; Francis bap. 4th Oct. 1718 and Richard bap. 16 Nov. 1723, the son of "Long Jn Vivian".
      Tehidy Estate records have an entry at 3rd Dec. 1787 "Jn Vivian, Camborne Yeo. Hse & 7 fields about 6 acres, pt. of land of Camborne Veor. Lives Jn. V 64, Ann 29, Andrew 27 his children". A Capt. John Vivian was buried on 13th Oct. 1790 "aged 68". The age clearly written in the PR seems to be reasonable proof that Capt. John was the son of Leetell John and the Jn. Vivian referred to in 1787. John Vivians will is dated 22nd June 1790. Executors were to be John, George, Henry and Johnson Vivian. Beneficiaries were Ann Vivian " to have Camborne Veor & 21 pounds in cash". Andrew Vivian, Hannah Glasson (Hannah Vivian married Richard Glasson on 6th Dec. 1783 ) ; Margery Vivian ( under 21 years old at the date of the will); Jane Piper ? John Vivian to have 30 pounds as Eldis Sone" and Henry Vivian "to have 20 pounds to buy tools - over & above George & Johnson Vivian". The Will referred to Jn Vivian as Ann
      s husband.
      With regard to Ann
      s inheritance an entry at 1st Sept. 1798 in the Tehidy Estate records is as follows ; "Joseph Vivian Cam. Yeo. Hse & 7 fields about 6 acres let of tenement of Camborne Veor. Lives JV 41, Ann his wife 40, Andrew his Brother-in-law 38". The ages given are confirmed by PR baptisms, JV 41 , the son of Simon was bap. 4th Sept. 1757. The 1798 property is identical to that in the Tehidy Estates entry for 3rd Dec. 1787. With regard to the property occupied by John and then by Joseph and Ann,. A Survey and Valuation of the Manor of Tehidy carried out in 1806, shows that Joseph Vivian was the tenant of 7 parcels, one of which was a house yard and garden , in the Mount Pleasant area of Camborne, within the southerly block of Camborne Veor. The 7 parcels cover the area of " Long Close" in the 1737 Tehidy Estates Plan, shown as being occupied by Jn. Vivian. The above facts seem to confirm that it was John bap. 16 Feb. 1722-23, the son of Little John Vivian , who married Ann Eva on 20th Jan. 1756 and that their children were John, Ann, Andrew, Mary, Hannah, George, Henry, Johnson and Margery.
      Evidence that John 1722-23 was John of Vellansaundry is Sparse. I have it on the authority of a descendant of Johnson Vivian. bap. 1773, John
      s (1722-23) son, that Johnson lived and died at Vellansaundry and Boase & Mead say that Andrew was born there. Vellansaundry is about 2 miles southwest of Camborne and is on the western side of the Camborne / Helston road. The main Pendarves Estate lies to the east of the road and at the relevant time, Pendarves and Vellansaundry, the latter with several tenants, were owned by John Stockhouse Esq. Rent ledgers have the following entries; Probably about 1775, J. Vivian in Acct. with J. Stockhouse, Vellansaundry. Rent due & paid 1774 May 16th. 1780 27th Sept. 1787 Capt. John Vivian to half a years rent of pt. of Vellensaundry ?4.14.6.
      The only matters still to be considered are " John of Vellansaundry
      s" "Visitations" date of burial of 2nd March 1796 and the marriage of John Vivian of Hayle to Elizabeth Rosewarne. There is no doubt about the marriage, but the burial Register entry for 2nd of March 1796 is as follows; "Vivian, John of Phillack. There are no Phillack burials of a John Vivian in 1795 or 1796. On 21st March 1796 Power and Authority to administer, subject to swearing an oath was granted to "Elizabeth Vivian the widow and relict of John Vivian late of the Parish of Phillack.......yeoman deceased intestate". On 29th April 1796 an Administration Bond was entered into by "Elizabeth Vivian of the Parish of Phillack.. widow, Andrew Vivian and Johnson Vivian of the Parish of Camborne".
      In my opinion, Andrew and Johnson were supporting the widow of their brother John and it was he was buried on 2nd March 1796. [3]
