TRETHURFFE, TRETHURFE, TRETHURF, TRETHERFE, TRETHYRFE. From Trethurffe in Ladock, where, according to tradition, this family was located before the Norman Conquest. The elder line ended with John Trethurffe, knight of Cornwall, temp. 15 Hen. VI. (See D. Gilbert.) The local name may be from tret-erf, the brisk, gay, or lively dwelling; or the last part of the name from an early owner. But see Trethearth.

TREVADLOCK. From Trevadlock, formerly Trevadlack, in Lewanick; perhaps the same name as Trevellack. See Trevellick.
