- From A History of the Parishes of St. Ives, Lelant, Towednack and Zennor [citation details below]:
Few Cornish families can vie with this one in point of antiquity. Though apparently never entitled to bear arms, the Rosewalls for countless generations occupied an ancient homestead called 'Rosewall' on the eastern slope of Rosewall Hill, in the parish of Towednack.
The Subsidy Roll of 1327 shows the name of John de Ryswal and Noal de Ryswal of Towednack, who paid 2s. each towards the royal aid.
In the roll of circa 1520 we find the name of Stephanus Roswal, having lands in Towednack of the annual value of 10s. Again in 1523 he is rated--this time at 10 marks; and the same in 1524. In the Penwith Subsidy of 1536, 'Stephyn Rosewarn' [lege 'Rosewall'] is rated at 10 marks.
In 1523 and 1524 Pascacius (Pasco) Roswall had goods value £2 at Saint Ives.
In 1546 'John Rossewall' was rated at £6 for his lands in 'Tewynecke.'
In 1585 Johannes Roswall was rated at £6, but in 1593 at £3, for goods at Towednack, and again at £3 in 1597.
In 1629 Georgius Roswarne ['Rosewall'] paid £4 to the subsidy for his goods at Towednack.
In 1641 'Willmus Russell' (i.e., 'Rosewall') was rated for goods, and Warne Roswall for lands, in Towednack parish.
In 1664 'Margrett Russell widow' was rated for lands in the same parish.
In 1573 Richard Rossewall was a capital burgess; in 1578 he paid 4d. to a town rate.
Circa 1590 Thomas Roswall paid 2d. to a town rate.
In 1620 Thomas Roswall, who resided in Westren Street, paid 3d. to a royal rate levied in Saint Ives. In the same list with the last name occur those of Nicholas Roswall, living on 'The Lande,' and George Roswall.
In 1636 James Rosewall was an overseer of the poor, and in 1638 he was a sidesman.
