The eldest male line of the family became extinct in the 14th century.

TREGOW. Hals says, "Trewothike in St. Anthony in Kerrier was formerly the lands of Tregow, gentlemen that flourished there for several generations in good fame and credit till about the middle of the reign of Charles II.;" and he renders the name, the wood town. (See Tregoweth.) I derive it from tre-gof, the place of the smith. But see Tregew.

TREGOWETH. From tre-govyth, -guydh, -gyth, -wyth, the dwelling by the wood.

TREGOYE, or TREGOYES. From an estate so named. "The family of Tregoye or Tregoyes ranked amongst the nobles of England at the accession of William the Conqueror." (Lower, quoting Carew's "Survey of Cornwall.") The name is perhaps the same as Tregow or Tregew, q. w. respectively.

TREGOZ, TREGOZE, TREGOSE, TREGOSSE, TREAGUS. From tre-cos, -goose, the dwelling in or near the wood. "The first-recorded ancestor of the family (of Tregoz), who were ennobled in three branches, was William de Tregoz, who in the fifth year of King Stephen had the lands of William Peverell of London in farm. His descendants were much connected with the county of Sussex." (Lower.) D. Gilbert gives the local name, Tregoss Moor. There are also Tregoss in Roche, Tregoose in Mawgan in Meneage, and a place called Trengosse.

TREGRAHAN. A family now merged in that of Carlyon. From tre-grean, the gravel dwelling. There is a place called Tregrenna in Alternun.

TREGUE. See Tregew.
