Thomas Trounson (c1695-1745)

Thomas Trounson was born in approximately 1695. His origins are currently unknown.

It should be noted that surname Trounson is often misspelt in official records. Other spellings include TROUNCE, TRONSON and TROWNSEN, but there are many other different spellings.

Marriage
Thomas married Elizabeth Williams at Ludgvan in Cornwall on the 20th September 1718. Her origins are currently unknown.

The couple would have and raise their children in Ludgvan.

Death of Sons
Thomas and Elizabeth's first born son Thomas died at age 7 months and was buried in Ludgvan on 29th April 1720.

Another son called Thomas would die at age 14 and was buried in Ludgvan on 12th May 1737. He must have died some days before (or they knew his death was imminent) as the couple called their last son (baptised on the 9th May of the same year - 3 days before the burial) Thomas, after his elder brother.

Death
Thomas died in the year 1745 and was buried at Ludgvan on 25th May 1745. His wife Elizabeth would outlive him by 20 years.

There is an interesting note on Thomas' burial record that indicates that he used an alias, or the name 'Thomas Trounson' may have been an alias (it is not clear which). The entry states 'alias' in the Other column and then the note - "alias was not entered". Why Thomas had and used an alias is not known.
