Hello! It is exciting to see our family in your records. My grandparents Samuel and Maria James owned Trelandvean in the 1800's. They traveled to America in 1840 and continued on the Oregon Trail to Oregon Territory. They settled in Jamestown which is also known as Rochester, Washington. There are still James descendants living on James Road and we gather once a year to honor our family's history. A book was written by my cousin David James and A.C. Todd entitled EVER WESTWARD THE LAND. It is also said that my grandfather found the St. Keverne Mirror on his property in 1835 while clearing for a road. Thank you for this great site! I hope to some day visit!

I went to St Keverne's many years ago and tried to gather info on the Tripcony family. Two first cousins, William and Thomas emigrated to Australia in the 1860-70 region. They landed in Western Australia and William ended up near Bendigo in Victoria - Thomas went to Queensland. My Dad was Benjamin Tripcony (1915-1998) & he was one of seven children, father William and Mother Helena (nee Duncan, from Perthshire in Scotland).
