The Yeo and Cory families had well (176) roots in Devon and Cornwall. Their ancestors had been (177) business men, who had mar- ried into the well seated families of Ashe, Pyne, Jeue, Grenville and Monk. Some of the earlier Yeos in Stratton had been (178) at Oxford University and become lawyers or wealthy merchants, involved in the early (179) of New England and trade with Spain. Stratton was then a wealthy market town, where many prominent families had property.
Robert’s great grandfather, John Yeo, had been known as the Great John Yeo of Stratton. He was a wealthy merchant with (180) on property in Stratton and a feoffment, shared with another seven great men of Stratton, inherited from his father John Yeo, on properties in Hele Pont. This feoffment involved the (181) of Treburtell, a large estate in Tresmeer, which had belonged to the priory in St Stephen at Launceston, but when King Henry VIII ordered the (182) of the mo- nastries it was sold off.
The Cory family were also part of this feoffment and it is these (183) that have enabled us to track the family through the 1600’s, the period for which unfortunately (184) registers were lost, thanks to the Blanchminster papers.
