Hender Families of Lanteglos by Camelford
Prepared, Compiled and Annotated by Don R. Hender
One often hears that the family of '
Hender has become extinct. That reference usually speaks of the Hendour or
Hender family of Brannel or the John Hender Esq. family of Bottrel Castle.
And in one sense that is so, that the legacy inheritances associated with the
Hender ties to 'Royalty' have passed by female members of the 'heir' family,
the daughter of Richard Hender of Brannel and the four daughters of John
Hender of Boscastle and their associations with the Hender crest or coat of
arms which was so 'quartered' by the females of Hender to married into the
other such families. But the truth of the matter is that there are many
'younger branches' of the family of Hender still existant today. As pointed
out in the 1820 text by C.S. Gilbert, 'An Historical Survey of the
County of Cornwall', as of the date of the writing of that text
there were 'younger branches', families of the non-heir mainline Hender
families so mentioned, who 'survived' in the vicinity of Camelford. Now
Lanteglos by Camelford is very much in the 'vicinity' of Camelford, as
are a great number of surrounding Parishes and people do move about even to
the extend that the world over there are families of Hender who do trace
themselves back to their Hender ties in Cornwall.
Such records of the 1200s, 1300s, 1400, and even 1500s and 1600s are scarce.
Even the Hender family of Boscastle had a few generations of Hender families
unnamed when they were granted to adopt to themselves the family crest and arms
of Hender. So the changes of any modern Hender family finding all there Hender
connections back to David de Hendower of Welsh Royal descent who married with
the English Royal family of Cornwall, is not even slim and basically none. But
it does not stop one from the adventure of searching out their 'roots'. And
who knows, that one in a million chanced information may still be around some
where and what better place to look the in Lanteglos by Camelford?
Many of the Hender families of the Camelford vicinity have themselves become
extinct. Yet some have made it out of Camelford or Lanteglos and can be traced
to such locations as Launceston. And while it is my intent to cover all such
families as I am aware of, extinct or not. I will first begin with that which
I have pertaining to the Hender family who made it out of Camelford and on
over to Launceston. But I will not end there and there are family wills in
and about Lanteglos, at least a couple of which I will also transcribe and
present. The sources for these Hender families are many so I'll just begin
with a simple pedigree brakedown of what I have concern the family out of
Lanteglos to Launceston.
