NEW - Get your 2008 Hogan-Trevethick Genealogical Calendar - click here for information. The Trevethick surname is native to the county of Cornwall, England. Cornwall is situate at the South Western-most tip of England. When the Trevethick family left England bound for the United States, they were residing in Gateshead-On-Tyne. Gateshead was directly across the Tyne River from Newcastle-On-Tyne. Barclay's Complete and Universal English Dictionary, 1842" describes this area as follows: "NEWCASTLE, or Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is situated among steep hills, on the Tyne, which is here a fine and deep river; so that ships of 3 or 4 hundred tons burden may safely come up to the town, though the large colliers are stationed at Shields. It is a very secure haven, and is defended by Clifford's Fort, which effectively commands all vessels that enter the river. The town may be considered as divided into two parts, of which Gateshead, on the Durham side, is one; and both are joined by a fine stone bridge consisting of 9 arches. The town rises on the north bank of the river, where the streets upon the ascent are exceedingly steep. Many of the houses are built of stone, but some of them are timber, and the rest of brick. The castle, which is old and ruinous, overlooks the whole town. The exchange, church-houses, and other public buildings, are elegant; and the quay for landing goods is long and large. Here is a hall for surgeons, a large hospital, built by the contribution of the keel-men, for the maintenance of the poor of their fraternity; and several other charitable foundations. It is situated in the centre of the great collieries, which have for centuries supplied London, all the eastern, and some of the midland and southern parts of the kingdom with coal. This trade has been the source of great opulence to Newcastle; which, besides, exports large quantities of lead, salt, salmon, butter, tallow, and grindstones. Ships are sent hence to the Greenland fishery. It also possesses manufactories of steel, iron, and woollen cloth; and in the town and neighborhood are several glass-houses. The streets in the old part of Newcastle are unsightly and narrow, but the newer parts are handsome and commodious. Newcastle is 270 miles from London. Markets, Tuesday and Saturday. Population, 49,860."
The fact that no part of Cornwall is more than some 25 miles from the sea makes it easy to visit the inland areas of which Bodmin Moor with its granite rock outcrops is perhaps the best known and which is high enough to provide some wonderful panoramas. Of all the counties in England, Cornwall is surely the most fascinating, the most colourful, the most romantic - full of folklore and fairy-tales still half-believed in by the local inhabitants. South of Bude and ... Widemouth Bay, you come to the quaint little harbour of Boscastle, with its grey stone, slate roofed cottages and background of sheltering hills, and thence to Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthur and the famous cliff-top ruins of his medieval castle. Although other counties in the West may dispute Cornwall's claim to be the sole possessor of the original, authentic stronghold of the Knights of the Round Table, Cornishmen stick as closely to their time-honoured contentin as the limpets to the rocky, sea-washed walls of Merlin's mysterious cave at the foot of the great granite cliff."
Arthur Trevethick left Liverpool and arrived in Boston, Massachusetts aboard the SS Cymeric on 5 May 1911; sending for his family in shortly thereafter. According to records provided by June Ross, Arthur was "en route to his Aunt, Mrs. Williams, 321 N. Hyde Park Avenue." At the time of entry, he gave his age as 31, and named his wife as Mrs. Martha Trevethick of 176 Westbourne Avenue, Gateshead, Durham. The passenger list of the SS Cymeric shows him to be of "good health, no physical impairment, 5'10", fair complexion, sandy hair, blue eyes." His family entered the United States at Ellis Island in New York Harbor on 24 June 1911 aboard the SS Mauritania from Liverpool. I remember my grandmother (Clara Louise Trevethick) telling me about the medical exam that she received at Ellis Island. She remembered the doctor "turning my eyelids inside out." I am not sure when the Trevithick name began being spelled "Trevethick;" records show the name spelled both ways as if the "e" and the "i" were interchangeable. There is also some confusion with our Trevethick line in that, family tradition holds that Arthur Trevethick was given the Trevethick surname in order to maintain the family name. Trevethick was the maiden name of Arthur's mother, not his paternal surname. I also remember my grandmother telling me that her father's surname should have been Bays (or Bayes). Again, I have not yet proven this information. Information provide by June Ross, California indicates that the name we believed to be "Bayes" may have been "Bages." Further, her research seems to indicate that Arthur Trevethick, and his sister Nellie, may have the name Trevethick because they were born out of wedlock; Clara Trevethick's marriage to Bages was after their births. LINEAGE WILLIAM TREVETHICK, GENT. b. abt 1615, probably in St. Enoder, Cornwall, UK, died 2 February 1657 in St. Enoder, Cornwall, UK.

NOTE: His will was probated on 10 December 1659 in St. Enoder, Cornwall referring to him as "Gent," and "of St. Enoder"- it shows he was husband of Frances.

Her father, through of Padstow etc. bequeathed money to a Christopher Trevithick of London, through a relationship was not shown; There is a connection with London Trevithicks, so perhaps this Grace visited London and married there, before the Spear marriage. 2.

Ethel Wilson, married (1) ___________ ____________; (2)
Steve Smith . ******************** ARTHUR TREVETHICK , was born on 3 October 1879, in Gateshead-on-Tyne, Durham, UK. Family Tradition holds that he was given the surname Trevethick rather than the normal paternal name of Bages because his mother wished to have the Trevethick name carried on. However, further research indicates that Arthur was born out of wedlock and carries his mother's maiden name as a result. Arthur married (1) Martha Jane Barnes, while in England, (2) Jane "Jennie" Woodin, (3) Myrtie Zimmer. At the age of 12, Arthur Trevethick joined the English Navy. While in the Navy, he went to China in 1894 and stayed there until 1899. He then sailed to Manila, and "was on deck when Dewey took the city." He received an honorable discharge from the English Navy in 1899. He then volunteered for the Boer War and enlisted in the Imperial Yeomanry (mounted infantry). He served for the duration and returned to England in 1902. Arthur emigrated to the United States in 1911, arriving in Boston, Massachusetts, aboard the ship "SS Cymeric" on the 5th of May. When he left England from Liverpool on 28 April 1911, he had been living in Gateshead-on-Tyne (across the river from Newcastle-on-Tyne) in the North of England. Arthur brought his wife and two children to the United States a few months later. According to ships information, he was en route to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to his Aunt, Mrs. Williams, at 321 N. Hyde Park Avenue. Arthur lived in Scranton, Pennsylvania, working for the International Correspondence School for three years. He then moved to the Binghamton, New York area. The 1917 Binghamton City Directory shows Arthur living with his wife, Martha, at 22 ½ Franklin Street in Binghamton, New York. Arthur worked for many years in the Endicott-Johnson Calfskin Tannery in Endicott, New York. He became a United States Citizen on 6 November 1925 in Binghamton, New York. In 1941, he finished paying the mortgage on his "E.J. home" at 614 June Street, Endicott, New York. At the time of his death, Arthur was living in Appalachin, Tioga County, New York.
