  [S111] Landed families of Britain and Ireland, Landed families of Britain and Ireland, (Landed families of Britain and Ireland). Very little is known about the earlier generations of the family to live at Trevince because of the loss of the Gwennap parish registers before 1658 and the fact that the family papers either do not survive or have not been deposited in a public institution. John Beauchamp (1612-93), the son of the younger William Beauchamp, was the right age to be active in the Civil War but seems to have left no trace in the public records. He appears to have outlived his son, John Beauchamp (c.1640-85), for their wills make it clear that it was John junior who died in 1685 and John senior whose will was proved in 1694; they have been confused in the past. In 1693 the Trevince estate passed to William Beauchamp (1670-1729), the eldest son of the younger John. He had two surviving sons, of whom the elder, John Beauchamp (1700-49) inherited Trevince, while the younger, Francis Beauchamp (1702-74) built a new house for himself at Pengreep, south of Gwennap village. However, when John died unmarried in 1749, the two estates were reunited once more. It would seem to have been Francis rather than his brother who on one occasion interrupted John Wesley when he was preaching at Gwennap Pit and attempt to arrest or pressgang him. https://landedfamilies.blogspot.com/2022/02/508-beauchamp-of-trevince-and-pengreep.html
