    --- "Launceston, Past and Present" by Sir Alfred Robbins, 1888, page 143-4:
    On June 17 Eliot followed up this exposure by denouncing Mohun to the Lords, but three days later he was forced to abandon the attack by melancholy news from Cornwall, the Commons Journals of the twentieth containing the entry "Sir John Eliot, in respect of the death of his wife, hath leave to go down into the country." Lady Eliot had been failing in health for some time, but the end, which took place at Port Eliot, was sudden. Of her "all that is known to us is the tenderness with which her husband described, as 'a loss never before equalled,' what had befallen him by her death; and that she was said to have been so devoted to her children as never to have willingly consented to be absent from them . . . Care for his younger children appears to have occupied him at first; and some were placed with their mother's father, Mr. Gedie, of Trebursey, to whom Eliot is lavish of grateful expression for his service at this time."

    Radigund married Sir John Eliot in Jun 1609. John (son of Richard Eliot and Bridget Carswell) was born on 11 Apr 1592 in Cuddenbeak, St. Germans, Cornwall; was christened on 20 Apr 1592 in St. German's, St. Germans, Cornwall; died on 27 Nov 1632 in Tower of London. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Genealogical Hints.
    (By Wyvern Gules.)
    Sir, --- The late Earl of St. Germans being somewhat of a genealogist, desired some information respecting the Gedey family, from whom the Eliots derived much property. while turning over some Close Rolls last week, I accidentally discovered that Henry Killegrew (in 1585), partly in reward for the good offices of his servant Ric. Gedey, conveyed to him Tudeford, in St. Germans, then in occupation of Rob. Trelawney.

    --- "Notes and Gleanings" Vol. 3, W. Pollard and Company, 1890, page 159:
    Although he [Jasper Hickes, Vicar] had received his previous livings from the king, his extremem Puritanpropensities probably account for his presentations to Landrake, the manor of which had been owned in the early part of the seventeenth century by Richard Gedie, of Trebursye, South Petherwin (father-in-law of Sir John Eliot) who, in his will dated 1627, stated that he had sold it to Hugh Boscawen, John Trefusis, John Rashleigh, and Leonard Treise.

    South Petherwin.
    . . . The full parish list, dated "March 6 1641" has 169 names, including "Jacob Rowse vicar," and leading off with "Thomas Blighe Degory King get Antipas Rowse gent," whil it includes John Treise, Nicholas Geddy, Sylvester Geddy, and Richard Geddy, the three last being evidently of the family into which Sir John Eliot had married.

    --- "The Parochial and Family History of the Deanery of Trigg Minor" Vol. 1 by Sir John Maclean, page 79:
    Treise.
    The family of Treise would seem to have been of respectable station in the early part of the seventeenth century, but it is not noticed in the Herald's Visitation of Cornwall of 1620. The first of the name which we find mentioned is William Treise of Castle Milford, in the parish of Tremayne, gentleman, who died May 4, 1622. His eldest son and heir, Leonard Treise, was recorder of Launceston, where he RESIded. He married Radigund, daughter of John Squire, by which marriage he is supposed to have acquired Trevallet in the parish of St. Thomas, where the family was seated for three generations. This lady would appear to have been related to Mr. Geddie of Trebursey, whose daughter married the celebrated patriot Sir John Eliot of Port Eliot, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Treise were on intimate terms. Mr. Treise was a trustee for certain estates under Mr. Geddie's will for the benefit of Sir John Eliot's children; and he, together with his wife and daughter Mary, are mentioned in kindly terms, several times, in Sir John Eliot's letters, published in Forster's Life of Eliot.

    --- "Launceston, Past and Present: Historical and Desciptive Sketch" by Sir Alfred Robbins, page 132:
    [Sir John] Eliot had left London for the West on the day of the adjournment, and, as Vice-Admiral of Devon, was soon busily engaged in dealing with the Pirates. After the dissolution he had private affairs to occupy him as well. Charles had issued what were known as "privy seals," directing that those who were able should contribute to the royal exchequer; and the deputies for Cornwall showed their dislike for Eliot "by returning his father-in-law, Mr. Gedie, for an exorbitant amount. There was no pretence of dissatisfaction in the case. Mr. Gedie had served only the preceding year as sheriff of Cornwall, and his estate was still suffering from expenses consequent thereon. Yet he was certified for an amount of which the oppressiveness appears in the fact that it doubled the highest imposed upon someof the richest estates in Yorkshire, Sir Thomas Wentworth [afterwards the Earl of Strafford] being taxed for twenty and Mr. Gedie for forty pounds."*
