Lanivet Hender Families

Compiled and Annotated by Don R. Hender


    A number of Hender families trace their beginnings back to Lanivet as the Hender family which was established there did move to other parishes and on out to other places. The Hender family of Lanivet seemed to be well established as the two wills of the 'parenting' husband and wife, John and Joan Hender seem to present. John's will in particular speaks of an Estate and also a number of Tenements in another parish which he passes on to a number of his grand children. Thus the 'Lanivet' Hender pedigree will begin with this John and Joan which will also provide links to their two transcribed wills provided for the interested browser's study. I do-do the best I can at my transcriptions and though I most likely make a number of errors, I feel that for genealogy research they are adequate. The mape at the left has a number of sites underlined in a thin bright pink/purple color. As you study that map you will find Lanivet, Bodwannick, Bodmin, Burlorne or Burlone, Egloshayle or Egloshaile, St. Breock and Bodmin so underlined. These sites are of particular interest to the Hender families of Lanivet as you study their wills and history. Though the three tenements in Burlone or Burlorne are in the parish borders of Egloshayle, it is of some interest to note their closeness to Bodmin, which is nearer to them than the 'city' of Egloshayle. And Bodwannick is where the main Hender estate was located. Some may question the connection between John Hender of Lanivet and Joan Badcock of St. Breock and if this is really the Joan who John married. I too did question the marriage until I came across this concerning the properties and Estate at Bodwannick.

* Old Styled '8' can look like 5 or 9 and leaning or falling down.

Now just because it is in 'print' or has been published on the internet it does NOT have to be so. Either the LDS Ancestrial files transcription clerk erred or the submitter did. This Ann Hender, christened in St. Cleer in 1803, just cannot be a member of this family unless you believe in such as parallel universes and millenniums. This John Hender of Lanivet/Helland died 1777 and his wife Joan died 1779 and unless my mathematics are wrong they were dead and buried over twenty years before this Ann Hender. To see who this Ann Hender really is go to my St. Cleer page and look for her as a member of the family of John Hender and Joan Trenowth there.
** Cross check with Joan Badcock CB 3 Jan 1708, Egloshayle, daughter of Roger Badcock and Catherine Martyn.
The will of this above John Hender of Lanivet does name two sons, Thomas and John. Thomas has left to somewhere and is presumed dead and John remains at home. And there just isn't any mention at all of any daughter named Ann.
And the will of Joan Hender references her son John Hender and grandchildren.
But lets get on with it to the next generation with their names colored yellow if they were in the wills of John and/or Joan Hender linked above.
