Paynter Family
Not sure about the link with the above. Needs further research.

13 Francis Paynter of Gwennap (1639 - 1720) = Agnes Leane (d.28 Jan 1748 at Saint Issey ) Marriage 19 Dec 1681 Gwennap, Cornwall. A copy of his will is held at the Cornwall records office refernce number = AP/P/2516 Title Will of Francis Paynter of Gwennap

14 Francis PAYNTER and Grace VIVIAN According to "Burke's Landed Gentry", He was baptised in 1685. He was married (to Grace VIVIAN) at Gwennap in South Cornwall. Grace was the dau. of Johnson Vivian and Elizabeth Davey of Camborne. Shartly after the death of his father, in about 1721-3, Francis got a job at St. Issey as a mine Captain at a Copper mine.

They had 4 sons and 2 daughters. He was buried on 12 May 1750 at St. Issey, but no headstone can be found.

Copper mining at St Issey

 * see also Mining in Cornwall

The mining was probably carried out at Carthew mine near Trevear Farm. Carthew Farm, at the head of Pinkson Creek, is the site of the old Phoenix mine, whose name changed to Carthew Consols in 1847. It went out of production in 1853, but reopened in the early 1860s before finally being abandoned in 1867. Copper was mined here, and the ore was loaded down to the quay for shipment to Padstow and thence to Bristol.

A copper mine at Creddis was a small scale venture in Little Petherick. The shaft at Creddis was no deeper than thirty fathoms and employed no more than forty men. Adjoining Creddis, but in the parish of St Issey, was the copper mine of Legossick'. This had a steam engine on it, being a large adventure, it employed many men. There were a few mines of this sort in the area; and one, Wheal Paynter showed a course of lead at twelve fathoms

William PAYNTER and Elizabeth GLANFIELD/GLANVILLE
William PAYNTER was baptised 16 January 1726. I know very little about William except that he married a (wealthy?) widow called Elizabeth HAWKEY (nee GLANFIELD). She came from Newlyn East. Her name was also spelt GLANVILLE. Her first husband was called Anthony HAWKEY who farmed at Nancolleth Barton near Newlyn East. At Anthony's death the farm was valued at 700 pounds. Anthony had an interesting will which is held at the CRO in Truro. The farm house at 'Nancolleth' burnt down after they lived there, and only part of a wall or wall remain, incorporated in the present house. Children by Anthony Hawkey and Elizabeth born at Newlyn East are Thomas Hawkey b. 1755, Robert Hawkey b. 1751, Newlyn and Anthony Hawkey b. 1753.

William & Elizabeth were married in 1756 at St Issey. They had 8 children (some of whom were baptised at Newlyn East sometimes shown as 'East Newlyn'). Elizabeth died in 1798 aged 70 years, William died 3 years later aged 75.

William and Elizabeth's memorial
There is a fine marble memorial to William & Elizabeth in the Church at St. Issey, erected by their son Samuel PAYNTER in 1813.

The Children of William Paynter and Elizabeth were baptised at Newlyn East.

1 William Paynter (1756 - 1841) b: 1756 in St Issey = Jane Udey - 1832 (of Perlus Wadebridge) 2 Elizabeth Paynter (1759 - 1781) = John Hawke 3 Francis Paynter  (1762 -1783)(Ancestor of Paynters of Stoke Hill House) =Sarah Whidbourne 4 James Paynter (b.1764) (Went to Australia) 5 Johnson Paynter (1765 - 1841) in Little Petherick = Catherine Hender 1766 - b: 18 March 1766 in Egloshayle 6 Hercules Paynter  (1769 -1844)  (Buried at Bunhill Fields cemetery, London) 7 Samuel Paynter (1774 - 1844) of Camborne House (Became High Sheriff of Surrey) second wife was Mary dau. of Richard Penn, Governor of Philadelphia 8 John Paynter

The traditional home of the PAYNTERs at St. Issey, was the Manor House which is right next to the church. It can be easily viewed from the road.

Before she married William, Elizabeth lived at Nancolleth Barton, Newlyn East with her first husband Anthony HAWKEY. She was widowed in 1754.

William & Elizabeth were married in 1756 at St. Issey. They had 8 children. Elizabeth died in 1798 aged 70 years, William died 3 years later aged 75.

Johnson PAYNTER (1765 - 1841) and Catherine HENDER
Johnson Paynter was born in 1765 in Little Petherick, His parents were William Paynter and Elizabeth Glanfield. He resided at before 1787 in St. Winnow, Cornwall, England. He was married to Catherine Hender on 29 Apr 1787 in St Issey. Catherine's parents were John and Mary Hender of Lanivet

Marriage of Johnson to Catherine Hender

Marriage Banns: Apr 8, 15, and 22, 1787

Occupation and land holdings of Johnson
Documents held in the National Archives, dated 1790 show that Johnson Paynter was a wool-stapler (A wool-stapler is a dealer in wool. The wool-stapler buys wool from the producer, sorts and grades it, and sells it on to manufacturers.) He held lands at Burlawn near Wadebridge.

Little Trevisker


The Paynters moved Little or Lower Trevisker in the parish of St Eval in about 1810. The house no longer stands but a footpath runs through what used to be the farm. The nextdoor neighbours at Great Trevisker were the Rundell Family. In 1811 their daughter Betsy married James Rundell.

There are several PAYNTERS buried at St. Eval & St Issey, but I haven't found a headstone for Johnson or Catherine.

The census of 1841 for the Civil Parish of St. Eval (which was carried out just monthes before Johnson's death) shows that Johnson Paynter aged 75, (Farmer) was living at (Little) Trevisker with his wife Cathrine Paynter (aged 75) Also at home was son Samuel Paynter (aged 40), John Paynter,(30) and three servants: Cathrine Rundell (22), Elizabeth Andrew (19), John Cocking (13), and Thomas Bennett (12).

Betsy’s parents lived at Lower (Little) Trevisker in the parish of St. Eval. The neighbouring farm was run by the Rundell family, it was called Great Trevisker.

Marriage by banns in 1811, at St Eval church

 * 127, Banns of marriage between James Rundell & Betsy Paynter were published without impediment on Sundays April 7, 14 & 21st. Tho. T. Hamley.

''The said James Rundell of this Parish and Betsy Paynter also of this Parish were Married in this Church by Banns this fourth Day of May in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred & eleven by me Thos. T. Hamley, Min.''

Signatures included. In the presence of Mary Old and James Paynter.

The young couple went to live in an adjoining village called Penrose, where they worked for James Rundell's parents, Richard Rundell and Elizabeth Truscott. Later, they moved to Trescullion (now called (Roscullion) in the Parish of Little Petherick. They leased the farm for 40 years.

Roscullion
From 1813 to 1854 James and Betsy RUNDELL lived at a farm called Roscullion (also known as Trescullion) which was lay just inside the Parish of Little Petherick. They leased this farm for 40 years. (The Farmhouse at Roscullion is still standing and can be viewed from the roadside.)

Census Records from 1851 show that Betsey Rundle (sic) was the head of the family (aged 60),and was farming 60 Acres at Trecullion (sic). Her children listed as living at home were: Catharine Rundle aged 31, Hercules Rundle aged 30, Johnson P Rundle 16, Mary J Rundle 17, they must have been well off enough to have a boy servant by the name of Richard Osborne,aged only 11(!)

It was at this house that Betsy & James had fourteen children. Eleven children migrated to America. After the death of James in 1839, Elizabeth also migrated to America with two of her sons & two of her daughters. She went to live at Platteville where seven of her other children had already settled. Betsy lived at Mitchell Hollow near Platteville in a cottage (East House) near her daughter Eliazabeth RUNDELL (who was then married to George PAUL). Later she moved to north of Rewey, Wisconsin to live near her son Johnson RUNDELL. Eventually she moved back to live at Mitchell Hollow, where she died in 1877 aged 86.

The Family were devout Bible Christians, A branch of the Methodist Religion. Methodism was very popular in Cornwall at this time.

Hi, Phil

Here is the photo of you and Pip.

I looked today at genealogy again and have a wedding day for Betsy and James Rundelll as 4 May, 1811 - is that what you have? I have Eliza (from Jean Carhart's website - thank you) as the eldest, with birthdate as 18 August, also 1811 - three months later. In the article you sent, the memorial article says James got married at age 26. That would be after several of his children had been born, and a completely different date. Interesting for a novel, depending on what's true. I'll ask for the last time and then not bother you any more about this - do you have anything on Betsy's parents and their attitude towards James and the Wesleyan revival? About her grandparents and background? Attitudes? Who her and his siblings were and DOB?

Thanks -

Noreen
