making amends by the richness of its soil.
This barton, which is of a very good yearly value, was once the
dwelling of a family bearing the same name; the last of which family
had an only daughter and heir, who married ______ Williams of
Herringstone in the county of Dorset, which match was the first
settling of that family in Cornwall.
The arms of Williams are, Argent, a greyhound current between three
Cornish choughs Proper, within a plain border Gules, charged with six
crosses formee Or and as many Bezants.
The present Mr. Williams, owner of this barton, lives at a place
adjoining called Trewithan, where the family removed, probably
disliking the dirty situation of Trevorva.
