(The following found in ‘English Adventurers’, a book (other details unknown):
During an inquest looking into Edward Carwitheris’ dealings with a pirate called Every, our George testified that he’d heard Ed boasting about such matters. Georges' address was “Piscataway, New England”; ‘but was lodging at the New England Arms, Shadwell, Middlesex, England’. He was 21 (the date: 12 July 1699).
And so it seems there was at least 1 more Trefethen in the Colonies besides Henry, Henry Jr. & Foster. Because of the fact that he was about the same age as the 2 younger TREFETHENs and living in the same neighborhood, AND because the name “George” is a common name among Henrys early descendants, the TREFETHEN Roundtable [Source 147] is proposing that George here MAY have been a son of Henry #1. He might of also just been a cousin, or even just a “fluke”.
He seems to have vanished after the hearing, and may have moved back to Cornwall.. whoever he was.
147. The “TREFETHEN Roundtable“., a group of learned correspondents who have been dilegently hashing over tons of material to piece together these puzzles. Corresponding via e-mail, their debates, questions and solutions are being recorded as a unique new reference. To find out more, e-mail Andrew by clicking here. Sadly, the Trefethen Roundtable is no more. If you are interested in participating, let Andrew know at andrewtrefethen@gmail.com
