348 DABERNON CHANTRY. 



Mr. Couch's paper shews that the matter continued to be agitated for 

 several years afterwards, although John Killiow seems finally to have tri- 

 umphed ; but what title he really had cannot be decided, in the absence of 

 the King's Commission, Fine, and Eecovery, produced by him, 2 Ed. VI., 

 and of the Exemplification of Eecord of Trinity Term, 27 Eliz. 



The founder of the Chantry was one Thomas Dabernoun, or Dabram 

 (probably an abbreviation), as given in the Certificate. He is described as of 

 Trenyddon in the parish of Lansallose ; and the lands he gave appear to lie 

 near together. Amongst them is Bake, the residence of Edward Trelawney, 

 Esq., who preserved this interesting document. John Dabernoun was, in the 

 time of the Black Prince, a man of consequence, — a Steward of Cornwall, or 

 some such officer. He was " Keeper of the Pees of Edward Prince of Wales, 

 Duke of Cornwall, and Earl of Chester," and so described in a Writ ad- 

 dressed to him by the Prince, under which an Inquisition concerning Saint 

 Petrock's Priory at Bodmin was taken before him, at Lostwithiel, 18 March, 

 1348-9.— See Oliver's Monasticon, p. 15. Under date 11 Feb., -33 Edward III, 

 1368, a Mandate from the Prince was issued, "touching the Abbot and 

 Convent of Buckland," directed to " Our beloved Valet John Dabernoun our 

 Steward of Lidford," and he was directed to "certify to our Council at 

 London." He and Eoger Porter, 16 and 20 Ed. III., appear by the 

 Ministers Accounts for Trematon Manor, to have paid £10 for rent of the 

 profits of Mills and of the borough of Trematon, pleas and perquisites 

 of Court of the said borough, toll of Oysters, herbage in the Ditch of Tre- 

 maton Castle, which they held by lease for a term of 7 years ; and, 29 Ed. 

 Ill, he held the Water and Pool of Sutton, by lease for the term of his life. 

 This would be only a few years after Lansallos church was built, — at least 

 after its dedication in 1331. 



East and West Kellow, or Killiow, are farms near Lansallos, if not in 

 that parish, and they probably gave name to the family of Killiow. Lysons 

 (p. 181) says, " The manor of Lansalloes " . . . " at an early period was 

 in the family of Boligh, from which it passed, by a female heir, to that of 

 Killiow; a descendant of the latter sold it to John Speccot, Esq., of Pen- 

 heale," &c. — " Great Killiow, the seat of the Killiows, extinct in 1711, 

 belongs to Frederick William BuUer, Esq.," . . . . " the house is in 

 ruins." Lysons, p. 181. 



Davies Gilbert, in his Parochial History of Cormvall, vol. ii, p. 398, 

 gives, under the head " Lansallos," an extract from Tonkin, to the effect 

 that John Boligh, who had married the daughter of Killigarth, was suc- 

 ceeded by his eldest son, William Boligh, who, by Avice, the daughter of 

 Eiehard Pentine, had issue a son, of his own name, which last William, by 

 Isabel, the daughter of William Bodrigan, afterwards married to Ealph 

 Vivian, had issue one sole daughter and heir, married to John Kelliow, who 

 brought with her this manor, which continued the principal seat of this 

 family, although they have sometimes lived at Lanlake, in South Petherwin, 

 and sometimes at Eosesilian in St. Blazey, iintil such time as Christopher 

 Kelliow, of Lanlake, Etq., having first mortgaged it to pay the debts of the 

 family, at last sold the property outright to John Speccot, of Penheale, Esq.
