Hi,

I rarely see the name “trewartha”, so I was thrilled to see an entire website of “trewartha” info, people, etc.

I live near Chicago, IL, USA and have lived in the US my entire life.

Terri

Hi there, Terri, great to hear from you. We hope to expand the info here to link up with Trewarthas everywhere - if you have any more info you’d like to volunteer about your family (that you don’t mind being on public record here!) then feel free.

I am glad I found your website. Cheers from Utah. I will visit often. Thanks for the great content and useful links.

My grandfather, Paul Trewartha, was born in Hazel Green Wisconson. He married Viola Freeman from Walnut Grove, MN. They farmed all their life in the small town of Revere, MN.

All of our family is very proud of the Trewartha name. It is unusual. As children I remember people thinking we were fair haired Native American Indians.

Looking at Mike Trewartha’s website of Trewartha geneology, Peter (b. 1818) born in St Agnes, married not far away in Menagissey (also Cornwall) but died in Hazelgreen, Wi. He had 9 children, of them James, William, Francis and Richard all got married in Hazelwood and had families.

Looks like William’s son Paul married Viola here

This looks like Sean’s family. Descended from Samuel who came over from Redrith to CA.

Terri, could have been William (b. 1814 Gwennap, Cornwall) came over and started two Trewartha families around Illinois. Brought his wife and son, William, over too. William dying in the Battle of Chickamuga.

Sorry this isn’t a Trewartha query as such. I wonder if your mother ran the Old Mill Tearooms in Ide. I remeber going there many years ago and having an amazing green jelly preserve with cream - I think it was quince based. I am trying to track down a recipe. Apologies if I am off beam but any help you can offer would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Robin’s mother Mary did indeed run the Old Mill in Ide. The building is still there, even if Mary, and indeed Ide, isn’t!
