• Notes

  On the Cornwall Online Parish Clerks (citation details below) record of his baptism, transcriber Kay Halley, noting that it comes from the Exeter bishop's transcripts, says "Name of parish torn off, and Mewan written in pencil, but the surnames make it doubtful if the entries belong to St. Mewan." "Cornish Terrier," administrator of the Penwith Genealogy discussion board, comments on the above: "That 1636 BT is definitely for St. Ives. Yes, the corner of the page containing the name of the parish is torn away and 'Mewan?' is written in pencil but the entries are certainly for St. Ives people. The one piece of evidence that helps prove this is a St. Ives record is at the end of the document where appear the signatures of Thomas Jackson, Steven Barbar and Thomas Goode. Barbar and Goode were both active at St. Ives during this period but the key is Thomas Jackson who was curate of St. Ives at the time and who also signed the 1638 BT for St. Ives which still has the parish name intact." Just before his death he was sued by John Hawkins, vicar of Lelant, St. Ives, and Towednack, for his refusal to pay tithes. Surviving records of this suit are reproduced in "Andrew Rosewall and the Tithes of Towednack, 1681," chapter XV of A History of the Parishes of St. Ives, Lelant, Towednack and Zennor in the County of Cornwall by John Hobson Matthews (London: Elliot Stock, 1892). Aside from providing a wealth of genealogically-useful information about Andrew Rosewall's neighbors and associates, these records also show the priest in question to have been strikingly neglectful of his duties to his parishioners. Will of Andrew Roswall, yeoman, of Towednack written 9 Oct 1680; proved 23 Nov 1680: 6 daughters: Cheston, Mary, Margery, Willmott, Ann & Elizabeth, £20 each. Sister Mary w/o Hugh Rosemenewes, £20, and her husband shall have nothing to do with it, but it shall be for the good of my sister and her son FFrancis Arundel. Wife Mary the main profit of the land I hold in Uny Lelant, St. Just & Towednack. Brother James Roswall my wearing apparel; his 2 children (not named) 12d apiece. Father (not named) 12d. Godchildren 12d apiece. Robert Couch, gent. for making my will, 10sh. Wife Mary all the rest & executrix. [Signed] Andrew "A R" Roswall. Witnesses: FFrancis Arundell Jun., Rob. Couch. ----- "Of a total of approximately 15 inventories for Towednack for the period 1660-1691, that of Andrew Rosewall has the highest value with £354.8.6, the only others to approach it being: Robert Curnow £196.14.8, Francis Quick £159.3.4." [West Penwith at the Time of Charles II, citation details below.] He has to have died between 9 Oct 1680, when he made his will, and 9 Nov 1680, when his father made his will bequeathing 20 shillings to daughter-in-law "Mary Rosewall, widdow."
