“The next parish upon this river (Lyner),” saith Mr. Carew, (lib. 2,
fol. 108), “is called Sheviock, sometimes the ancient Dauny’s
inheritance and inhabitance, by whose daughter and heir the same,
together with other fair possesions, descended to the Earls of Devon.”
In the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edw. I. (Carew, fol. 486) Sheviock
is valued in £100, to which no other manor in the county comes up, but
that of Lanrake and Pawton.
In 40 Hen. III. (Ibid. fol. 50), Henricus de Dones (whom I take to be
the same with Dawney) is certified to hold £15 per annum by knight’s
service.
In 3 Hen. IV. (Ibid. fol. 41) Johanna de Rame ten. 1 fe. magnum de
Seviock; probably this Joanna was the mother of the following
Nicholas, and held this estate in jointure, for this manor was at this
time his inheritance.
Nicholas Danne ten. 1 partem feod. dict. feod. de Morteynne in
Tregantle de Modeton.
Idem Nich. ten. 1 magnum feod. de Trecan et Trecarnel et Charleton de
prædict. Abbate.
