Text-
Col. 1. The following curious early notice of the name of
Boase occurs in Hector Boethius' History of Scotland, lib.
12, Fol. 266, line 65 (ed. Paris, 1527.) After speaking of
the families which came over witli Queen Margaret
from Hungary, he adds : — " Other families came over
at different times from France, as Fraseir, Sinclair,
Bosual, Montalth, Montgomerie, Cambell, Boas, Betuin,
Taillefer, Bodenal." The author of The Norman People,
1874, derives the name Bowes from Hugh de Boves
(from Boves in Picardy), King John's Admiral, who
perished in the great storm 26 Sep. 1215. (See
Rymer's Fcedera, i, 134, Rot. Pat. i, 114, Wendover,
iii, 287.) This is merely conjecture. John however
did give lands near Penzance to another of his chiefs,
HeDry 1c Tyes (Teutonicus), a military engineer from
Germany.
Col. 1. Blanch Shutford, bur. * 4 Nov. 1722.
Col. 1. John Bremble had a son John bap. * 1 May 170C,
who m. Cecilia, and had by her John bap. * 8 Jan.
1745.
Col. 3. JohnRowe's son by Elizabeth Harvey Boase, also
called John, b. Carhayes 28 Jan. 1811, now living at
Frognal House, Hampstead, m. Mary Ann dau. of John
May Andrew of Tregarden, widow of William Warne
b. 26 May 1812. (See Sir J. Maclean, ii, 530.) It was
this son who took out the patents.
Col. 4. John Hewett published a new edition of Carew's
Cornwall in 1769. In the Madron register we find : —
' 1754 Nov. 20. John Hewett m. Jane Adams, both of
Penzance.' H. Boase adds : — ' The monthly publica-
tions did not reach us at soonest before the fifteenth
of the month : there was no coach westward of Exeter,
the mail which was forwarded thence to Penzance three
times a week on horseback was in all five days coming
from London. But even then the change which had
taken place within the memory of aged people was
thought wonderful. At the beginning of the last
century only one newspaper, and that once a-week,
reached as far as Godolphin, whither it was sent by the
Lord Treasurer Godolphin, and laid on the table of the
Great Hall for the accommodation of the gentlemen of
the district, who rode over occasionally to learn the
news.'
