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 e

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
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
Another
grandson of Philip and Mary ‑

assumed this story by reading between the lines, and applying a little

THE ORCHARDS
THE THIRD GENERATION
FAMILY MIGRATIONS IN
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.

The notes of Bruce 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
Hanniball Bassett was a yeoman
on Nansevyn Vean. He
married Amie Harrie on

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.

then sold it to John Bassett of Mawgan-in-meneage,

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.
