1. Cornwall CRO, Lostwithiel Borough Records, BLOS/214/1,2 (24 June 1447).
2. Perhaps because the information came from John Corin jnr., who was only eighteen at the time.
3. A good account of his life can be found in the Dictionary of National Biography. In the printed State Papers his name is spelt Curwen. In his will, dated 20 November 1564 and proved on 4 December 1568, in which he left £4 to his chaplain, Jeffery Cresse, and the residue to his brother Christoper, his name is spelt Corin.
4. There was also a William Corim, Esq., of Thornbury, Devon, and Cornwall (PCC Will 1495: Milles 41 and 45) yet to be researched.
5. Presumably if Ann was a coheir, Richard Coryn left a will, though the inheritance might have stemmed from her grandfather, James Luke.
6. There were Lovedons in Lambourne, Berks (e.g. William, PCC Will 1541). However, the 1522 Military Survey shows a Michael Corraunt and a John Lavedwyn in the borough of Bodmin (the same names also appear, in adjacent entries, in 1525, but in the parish of Bodmin rather than the borough).
7. For example through the will of Hannibal Vyvyan (d.1608) - see below.
8. We know that John Coryn (d.1619) owned land in Bodmin, although there was also a Henry Coren living in Bodmin, who married a Jone Meager there in 1613.
9. It may be significant that a John Coren married an Elizabeth Woulcocke at St Just in Roseland in 1647.
10. Moulton's Catalogue (H.R. Moulton, 1930) has an exemplification of a fine dated 24 January 1597 (Devonshire C973): 'Hernaford, South Ludbrooke, etc. Henry Sumaster, Arthur Dowell, William Maryn against Thomas Trenance, Joan his wife, George Courteneye and Constance his wife (the second daughter), Richard Jervis and Wilmot his wife (the third), John Coryn and Thomasine his wife, John Tredennecke and Petronilla his wife (Thomas' youngest sister), Richard Cowche and Elizabeth his wife (Thomas' second sister). £3.'
11. See The Vyell Monument at St Breoke, Wadebridge, CFHS Journal 54.
12. Hugh Mitchell v. John Challenor, William Challenor, John Coryn and William Marshe (Chancery Pro. Eliz. 9 May 1597,M.m.2, No.51).
13. John Coryn v. Alexander Niclis als Trevellan, Thomas Tompkyn, Jane Trevellan als Niclis and Hugh Michell (Chancery Ser.1 Jac.1, C19/52) - there are details in the Henderson Papers (RIC p.273ff, Entries 1045-1053).
14. 'To the strong and faithful man nothing is difficult.'
15. John Coryn and Francis Glover v. William Lukey and William Peares (Chan. Ser.1 Jac.1, C/18/47, 19 November 1614)
16. PCC Wingfield 83: will made 30 November 1609 and proved 28 October 1610.
17. PCC Rudd 102: will dated 12 January 1613/4. A possible connection is that Nicholas Glynn married Jane, daughter of Walter Kendall of Pelyne, who was related to Jane, daughter of Nicholas Kendall of Paline, who married Thomas Trenance.
18. According to another account, William was the third son of William Glyn of Glyn and Ann Crewse: his elder brothers were Nicholas and George. Through his and Mary's son Thomas descend the Glynns of Helston. Mary Roscrowe, or Roscroe, was William's second wife (his first wife was Mary Rice). She remarried after William's death, to Thomas Flamank (?) at Wendron on 19 April 1615.
19. Roscrowe v Roscrowe, Chancery Deposition of 21 March 12 Jas 1 - John was one of the commissioners: the others were William Prade, William Carnan and Edward Vivyan, Gent.
20. Corrected in another hand to 'parllys'!
21. PRO WARD 7/58/134.
22. Henderson Collection (RIC) p.308, 1172-77 (HC/49/16-20).
23. Though, for example, William Harris of Kenegy in Gulval was fined £250 - perhaps because there had been an insurrection at Gulval in 1648.
24. SP Dom Interr G40 (11.24 (251) of 19/7/1650), recorded in Commission for Compounding..., Vol.32, p.6.
25. Correspondence with Douglas Lobb. The situation is confused, as it seems that Richard Lobb's property in Mylor had itself been sequestrated (PRO - SP/23/32). The 'lost certificate' is referred to in Signet Office Papers Vol.10, p.501. Richard Lobbe 'merchant' was assessed for nine hearths in Kenwyn in 1662 - the highest number, and Richard and Stephen Lobb were granted licence to preach as Presbyterians in Treworder and Mylor on 16 April 1673.

29. Scope for further research indeed.
30. Some of this information is from John Gully's prayer book, in possession of the Shaw family.
