PREFACE.
The following account of the Boase family and of persons with whom
they have been and are connected in marriage is now printed for family use
only ; and with the twofold object of preserving the information collected by
the compilers of this work, and of eliciting from the various heads of families
further and more accurate details about their own branches. This must
therefore be considered in the light of a preliminary sketch to be filled up
more fully on a future occasion.
The difficulties of writing even a short work of this nature will be
known to all who have been engaged in similar pursuits ; no apology is there-
fore offered for the occurrence of a certain number of mistakes which were
unavoidable, since almost every line contains a fact or a date.
Mr. George Bown Millett of Penzance is now engaged in editing the
earliest register of the parish of Madron, a work which will be useful to
place beside this family history, as by its use it wdl be possible to verify
many of the dates here mentioned and add further particulars.
The Compilers desire that their relatives will kindly supply an account
of errors and omissions, with additional matter respecting intermarriages and
the pedigrees of families with which such marriages have taken place.
It is hoped that this work may serve to keep up a feeling of relationship
between families now scattered far and wide over Great Britain, but all
tracing then- original descent to the county of Cornwall.
INDEX

THE FAMILY OF BOASE OF PAUL AND MADRON
IN CORNWALL.
The Family of Boase (or Bowes) was settled in the
parishes of Paul and Madron at the end of the sixteenth
century. Ursula, daughter of William Bowes, was buried
at Madron, 14 Dec. 1578 ; Joan, daughter of Edward Bowes,
was buried at Paul, 16 Feb. 160^; and Cresten, daughter of
Kichard Bose, was baptised 27 Feb. 160§, at Paul. The
earlier registers at Paul unfortunately perished when the
Spaniards burnt the place 23 July 1595. The name was at
first usually spelt Bowes, but it is also spelt, like most other
names at that time, in a variety of ways ; and the spelling
Boase became the common one in the eighteenth century.
Two entries, at Paul about the same person run thus :
" Arthur, son of John Boase, bap. 1 Nov. 1652;" "Arthur
Bowes married Florence, 18 June 1686." The present
account is taken from a pedigree entered at the Herald's
Office 1810 by Henry Boase, Esq., and duly recorded by Sir
Isaac Heard, Garter King at Arms. It reaches from 1681
to 1809, and has been supplemented from family informa-
tion, from wills, and from the registers. The following
notes supply additional particulars taken from these sources.
The five marks * f || % § mean throughout "at Paul,
Madron, Penzance, London, Dundee" respectively.
Simon Bowes m. * 8 July 1676 Sara Shutford. He was
probably son of the Simon who d. 1697. Administration of his
effects was granted at Bodmin, 31 Aug. 1723, to his daughter
Sarah, wife of John Bramble, yeoman. The will of his son
John is dated at Chioon (in Paul) 9 Oct. 1721, and the pro-
hate at Bodmin 1 Oct. 1722. By it he leaves to his sisters
Sarah Bramble and Phillis Berryman equal shares of his
lease lands, &c. ; to his sister Ursula Boase £20, to be paid
to John Boson, gentleman, her trustee, within six years, the
executors meanwhile paying him 20 shillings yearly for
her : the executors are his brothers-in-law, John Brambel
and John Berryman ; his aunt, Blanch Shutford, he leaves
to the care of his sisters ; the witnesses are .Roger Robarts,
Relvisa Maddern, Jane Tonkin. Blanch Shutford may
have been Blanch Sampson of Penzance, who married
Robert Shutford 1 May 1704, if Robert was brother of
Philip Shutford, the father of Sara Shutford, who was
mother of John Bowes. The Bosons were then the leading
people in the place, and John Boson was probably the well-
known Cornish scholar, the correspondent of William
Gwavas and others {sec Bibliotheca Cornubiensis, under
Boson and Gwavas). Juliana, who married John Bowes,*
30 Ap. 1686, was probably the daughter of George Boson,
Esq., and this alliance may be the reason of John Boson
becoming trustee for one of the family [see Boson pedigree).
Another Simon Bowes, probably connected with this one, m.
*3 March 1767, Penelope Ladner of Paul ("with her
father's consent," i.e. she was under age : witnesses, Thomas
Hoskin, Stephen Barnes).
John Bowes, of Tredavo in Paul, who died 1681. There
was a family tradition that he came over from Holland and
founded the family in Paul. This must be incorrect, but
he may have been in Holland, and come back in later life to
his native parish. Richard Daniell, one of the chief land-
owners in the district, was Governor of Middleburg, under
Sir Robert Sidney 1612-14 ; and, through bis connections (he
married twice there), the Daniell family may have been
able to forward the interests of a countryman. This con-
jecture rests on the fact that in a rent roll (printed further
on) of Richard Daniell, in 1657, John Boos appears as hold-
ing Tredavo under him at a conventionary rent of £5 — the
highest rent given. The administration of John Bowes'
property was granted at Bodmin, 21 Nov. 1681, to his son
Robert, Jane the widow having renounced. Robert
probably moved to Penzance, having married Mary Rawliag
of that place (see below under Boase of Madron and Pen-
zance) . It is to be noted that there was probably another
John Bowes living at this time in Paul, for an obscure entry
in the register seems to read " (Cisley ?) wife of John Bowes,
buried 11 April 1661." If so, some of the later children
(after Robert and Arthur) here assigned to John Bowes, who
died 1681, may be really children of this second John Bowes.
At the death of the first John Bowes in 16S1, Robert seema
to have been the eldest son living. William, perhaps son
of this second John Bowes, was baptised * 23 July 1648,
P buried * 28 July 16S9, having had a son, William, baptised
* 2 April 1678. John, another son (? of the John who
died 1681) died 1734, and administration was granted at
Bodmin, 17 July 1734, to his son William, and daughter
Jame, wife of Thomas John.
Richard Boase of Newlyn, was witness to his brother
Arthur's marriage in 1760, and Arthur's daughter, Anne's,
marriage in 1783, and died in 1788. Administration was
granted at Bodmin 23 September 1788, to his widow Sarah.
The witnesses to their marriage in 1 754 (by licence) are John
Tonkin and Arthur Boase. Both Richard and his widow
Saiah Berryman, were buried in Paul Church, and a
mortuary paid for them, of 10s. 6d. and a guinea
respectively. The will of their son John is dated 13
December 1794. He leaves to his daughter Phillis £500
to be paid her at the age of 21, or on her marriage, if
she marry before that age, four per cent, interest being
allowed her meanwhile : the same to his daughter Elizabeth
Harvey, both sums being charged on his real estates. His
only son John is made executor and residuary legatee. The
witnesses are Harry and Mary Tonkin and James Pascoe.
On 2 February 1795 administration was granted at Bodmin
to George Glasson, uncle-in-law and guardian of John
Boase, the executor, power being reserved to grant the like
administration to John Boase when of age. Stamp £11 10s.
John Boase's seal is attached.
It is possible that Richard Boase, who died 1788, had
married a first time when very young, for this entry occurs
at Paul, " William, son of Richard and Isabella BoaBe,
baptised 6 September 1747, " and the following entry
possibly refers to the children of this William. His wife
Grace may be Grace, daughter of John and Elizabeth Boase,
baptised * 6 December 1747 (same year as her husband).
1789, October 18, baptised Charles and Mary, son and
daughter of William and Grace Boase.
The following entries refer to the children of another
William Boase living at the same time (unless Richard's son
William married Joan, and Grace was the wife of the other
William.)
1790, January 26, baptised William sou of William and
Joan Boase.
1791, July 24, baptised John, son of William and Joan
1794, April 27, baptised Simon, son of William and Joan

and Joan Boase.
1807, September 6, baptised Mary, daughter of William
and Joan Boase.
1811, June 9, baptised Richard, son of William and Joan
Boase.
John Rowe, who married Elizabeth Harvey Boase in 1810,
took out several patents ( see Bibliotheca Cornubiensis sub
Rawe).
The William, son of John, who married Margaret Martin
in 1717, was probably married previously, as there is an
entry at Paul, William, son of William Boase, baptised 1
August 1714.

Henry Boase, who died 1827, left behind him an auto-
biography, from which the following notices of his life have
been mainly taken.
Henry Boase, the fourth son of Arthur Boase of Madron,
by Jane, daughter of Henry Lugg of S. Keverne, was born
at Madron on the third of June 1763, and baptized at the
parish church on Midsummer day. As to his family con-
nections he says himself in his autobiography " My paternal
grandfather farmed his own little property in the parish of
Paul, my maternal grandfather was a Lugg of S. Keverne,
where his ancestors were freeholders of old times, and where
his family still remain. He purchased some lands both
freehold and leasehold in Madron, where he came to reside,
and married a Miss Paul, by whom we are related with
Luke, Hosking, Wallis, Woodis, and other families.
Miss Paul's sister mairied Hosking of Landithy, and her
daughters were married, one to Wallis, another to Thomas
Woodis of Alverton. These with the father of Mr. Edmund
Paul, surgeon, were first cousins of my mother. Mr. Luke
and Dr. Luke are my cousins in the second degree by their
mother, aTrewavas; and Mr. Luke's children are doubly
related to us, that is by their grandmother, a Trewavas,
and by their mother, a Woodis, who was the elder sister of
Mrs. John Jones Pearce." He was of weak health, and
studious habits, and early gained some knowledge of the
classical languages and of French, though the means of
instruction within his reach were very small. His father
Arthur had been fairly educated, and was a member of the
Bowling green and Sporting clubs of the neighbourhood,
and was constantly Churchwarden, an office of some note in
those days, and which after the squire and the vicar dis-
tinguished a chief man in the parish. He was a reader and
a politician, and then, what was far from common, had a share
of a weekly newspaper, (taken in by several in rotation),
the Sherborne Mercury, the only paper published at that
time in the Western counties. This newspaper was accom-
panied by a little Weekly Miscellany, from which its readers
gained small scraps of literary information, and to which
Henry Boase afterwards contributed. The Cornish lan-
guage had not yet wholly died out. ' In my father's early
years net a few of the previous generation spoke Cornish, of
which he retained many phrases. I remember he used to
teach us the Lord's Prayer, sundry proverbs, the numerals
Sec, in that language."
In 1779 he became a clerk in Mr. Luke's office at Pen-
zance, and gained better opportunities for self insti uction
than were available at Gear in Gulval, to which his father
had removed from Madron in 1774. " Soon after I came
to reside at Penzance I had the good fortune to obtain
some favour in the sight of a very eccentric man of
the name of Hewett, who kept a small, and at that
time, the only bookseller's shop in the town. Monthly
Magazines were then getting into fashion, about half a dozen
of which came to his shop every month, and it was to me a
great treat to be permitted to peep between the un-cut
leaves, before they were sent home to their owners. With
intense anxiety I have often watched the arrival of the
monthly wagon, and the removal of my friend's package to
his shop, and then passed by the door or made some excuse
to go in and see whether it was opened, an operation which
the old gentleman, to my great mortification, would some-
times postpone for several days. I reckon it one of the
most fortunate circumstances of my life to have fallen into
the good graces of the old bookseller, for at that time
Penzance afforded very little help towards the acquisition
of knowledge, — no book clubs, no public library, no reading
rooms, no scientific institutions of any kind ; and except a
little occasional stir by the novel introduction of Methodism
there was nothing to disturb the long established smoking,
drinking, and gaming-clubs, of which there were some for
all ranks, and for almost all ages. These were distinguished
by many ridiculous names, but all agreeing in drunkenness,
profanity, and card playing ; hard drinking, gaming and
swearing, were then considered gentlemanly accomplish-
ments, and destroyed the health and fortune of very many.
To the wonderful change which took place soon after the
breaking out of the late war, I ascribe much of the increase
of population which has since taken place. From the
pernicious influence of such society, I was in a great measure
preserved by a weak state of health, and a fortunate po-
verty, which left me very little to spend, and much less than
I was anxious to invest in books. This is a sad picture of
Penzance, such as it was before I knew it and when I lived
there from 1779 to 1784. When I visited it in 1792, I did
not observe much difference ; but when I again saw it in
1806, I was astonished at the change. Much of the moral
change we have seen may be traced to the spread of
Methodism, which, while it operated powerfully on the
labouring classes, reflected a benign influence on the higher
orders of society. Smuggling with its concomitant vices of
drunkenness and swearing was virtually encouraged by the
upper ranks, and was the bane of the miner and the fisher-
man. Against these especially, Wesley and Whitfield
levelled their powerful denunciations, and although their
followers were for a long time few and obscure, the evils
they condemned were too flagrant to admit of defence. So
uncivilized were our miners down to a period so recent as to
be within my memory, that one of the terrors of the nursery
to quiet froward children was to tell them that the Tinners
were rising. When these men felt or fancied some public
grievance, they collected in great bodies, and laid the
devoted towns and markets under such contributions or
restraints as the barbarous multitude thought proper to
impose. Among these men WeBley and Whitfield operated
a change of incalculable importance not only to the miners
but to the community at large."
In 1781, being then clerk to Mr. Luke, he went on business
to Falmouth, and as he was very fond of drawing, amused
himself with taking sketches of the harbour, and at length
wandered within the lines of Pendennis castle, not knowing
that it was forbidden ground , it being a time of war, and of
great terror about spies ; he was consequently arrested and
dismissed with a reprimand for the trouble his ignorance
had occasioned.
In 1782 he went on horseback to Plymouth on business.
Plymouth had hardly yet recovered from the panic occa-
sioned by the combined fleets of France and Spain, which
had menaced its destruction three years before, in the
month of August 1779. " Of that alarm I have still a vivid
recollection, caused probably by the violence of the original
impression, when the enemy with apparently an overwhelm-
ing force was in sight. Early one beautiful morning the
alarm was given that the grand fleet of England, chased
by the combined fleets of France and Spain was off the
Western Coast. Everybody ran to the hills, from which
could be seen at once the British fleet, under Sir Charles
Hardy, 38 ships of the line and a very few frigates, crowd-
ing sail to the eastward, and leisurely pursued by the com-
bined fleet, under Count D'Orvilliors, composed of about 70
ships of the line, with a cloud of frigates and smaller vessels.
The day was nearly calm, with now and then a little breeze
to the northward, so that for the long space of a summer's
day the Mount'sBay exhibited the uncommon scene, first, of
more than 100 ships of the line assembled, and secondly, of
the British Channel fleet flying before the enemy. With
the close of the day we lost sight of the fleet off the Lizard,
and the second day after, the enemy paraded triumphantly
before Plymouth, whence he drew off on the third night,
alarmed by a threatening storm with heavy thunder from the
south-east. I was told at Plymouth that a single ship
might have silenced all the batteries, so wretchedly unpre-
pared wore they to sustain any attack."
On the restoration of peace it occurred to him that if he
could learn to speak and write French with facility it would
be a recommendation, as that was an attainment becoming
more necessary in commercial affiairs, and far from common
among clerks in those days, " So scanty however were my
resources at this period, that the expense, though trivial, was
a formidable obstacle ; but as I could pass over by one of our
Mount's Bay boats for nothing, and contemplated only a
short stay, it was at length determined that I should go."
In the spring of 1785 therefore he landed at Roscoff in
Brittany, with the express object of improving his knowledge
of modern French, and resided for sometime with a French
family at Morlaix, to which he had been introduced by Mr.
M'Culloch (father of Dr. M'Culloch, the geologist), a mer-
chant whose acquaintance he had made at Penzance during
the war. " Here I was treated very kindly, and passed
about nine of the pleasantest months of my whole life.
Though Morlaix was a large town, living was then cheap
there. My board and lodging were thought liberally paid
at the rate of 400 livres, or about £16 a-year. Hairdresser,
fencing master, dancing master, and washerwoman, all im-
portant personages, and indispensable, were paid 3 livres, or
half-a-crown a month each ; and an excellent ecclesiastic,
L' Abbe Le Roux, gave me instructions in French, in
return for my help to a young man, his nephew, whom he
wished to learn English. Before the close of the year I
found a passage free to Wales in a British vessel, to whose
captain I had rendered service as an interpreter at Morlaix,
and from Swansea I got a passage home with a captain I
had formerly known, so that the whole of this expedition,
which was eventually the source of all my success in life,
cost less than twenty pounds."
On his return from France, after a brief attempt at setting
up in business at Newlyn, he in 1788 went to London,
where his knowlege of French proved all-important to him.
He became junior corresponding clerk in the bank of Messrs,
Ransom. Morland, and Hammersley, in Pall Mall — one of
the leading West end firms — and it fell to his lot to conduct
much of the correspondence of the emigrants who fled to
England during the revolution. To several of these he was
able to do much friendly service, and on their return to
France, after the peace of Amiens, the Bishop of Troyes and
others wrote him very grateful letters.
In 1792 he re- visited Cornwall to see his aged mother, to
whom he had for some time sent liberal help. He met his
elder brother Arthur (then in the bank at Tiverton, of which
he was afterwards a partner), by appointment at Exeter ;
and they rode on horseback to Penzahce, arriving on the
evening of the fifth day from his leaving London. It was
a tedious journey at that time, in a heavy stage coach, called
" The Fly," above forty hours on the road to Exeter, while
the only means of travelling further West was on horseback.
Of his eighteen days holiday, ten were spent in toilsome
travelling.
In 1792 also he became chief clerk, his services having
been highly appreciated ; and on the first of January 1799
8
he was admitted as partner in the firm, the business of
which had much increased owing to that of Lockhart and
Co. being now transferred to it. On Sunday the 26th of
October 1794 he had married, at S. Andrew's, Holborn, Anne,
the only child of Matthew Craige, of Walsall, by Anne
daughter of John Mason. He had known his future wife
for several years. Her father died when she was very
young, and she had lived first with her mother's father, and
then with her mother who had married secondly Mr. Thing,
one of the senior clerks in Ransom's bank. The young
couple lived first in Air street, Piccadilly, then from 1795 to
1807 at Kmghtsbridge, (where eight of their thirteen child-
ren were born), and finally at No. 127, Sloane street,
Chelsea, which had then an open prospect over what were
called " the Chelsea Five Fields," (now Belg-rave Square,
&c), and here they remained from 1807 to 1810.
In the terrible winter of 1799-1800, the communication
with Hamburgh was stopped for three months, and the
wreck of the " Lutine " frigate on the coast of Holland,
which was carrying over a great number of merchants and
traders, and above half-a-million sterling, brought on a
crisis in the business of Northern Germany. The firm of
Carpzov of Bremen was one of those which failed, and
Mr. Boase went over as soon as the ice broke up, and suc-
ceed ed in saving part of the amount due to the bank : it was
then a common practice on the continent to give up a bank-
rupt' s effects to the home creditors and cheat the foreign
ones.
In 1804 be went to Scotland to examine into the affairs
of the Dundee New Bank, which was afterwards recon-
structed under the proprietorship of Lord Kinnaird and
Messrs. Morland, Boase, Baxter and B.oberts, and became the
parent of the Glasgow Bank: this ultimately led to two of
his sons becoming managers of the Dundee Bank ; and one of
them, Mr. 0. W. Boase, has written a very instructive
History of Scotch Banking. Mr. Boase had himself written
a number of tracts on the famous ' Bullion Question,' which
are enumerated in the Bibliotheca Cornttbiensis
His health was now so seriously affected by the London
winters, that at the close of 1809, he resolved to retire from
the business and spend the rest of his life in his native air
at Penzance. After a preliminary visit with his wife to
make the necessary arrangements, he finally took up his
residence there. He resided first in Chapel street, and then
on the South Parade ; but having purchased about two acres
and a half of ground on the west, or Alverton, side of the
town for £1000, he built a house there which cost him
£3,500 more. It is called Alvern hill, and has a pleasant
garden in which the well-known spring, called Alverton
well, takes its rise. Not wishing entirely to give up work,
he became a partner in the Bank of Messrs. Batten, Oxnam,
and Carne, at Michaelmas lS10,and remained so until Lady
Day 1823 ; soon after which he took over the Penzance
Union Bank from Mr. William Dennis, and with his two
elder sons and Mr. Trevenen James started a new firm on
May 1 1823, which was joined by Mr. George Grenfell in
1824. During his residence in London he was well ac-
quainted with Granville Sharp, Robert Owen, and other men,
eminent for their philanthropic exertions ; was a leading
member of the London Missionary Society ; and took a con-
siderable part in the foundation of the Bible Society, in
conjunction with the Rev. Thomas Charles of Bala, with
whi >in he had become intimately acquainted whilst eng iged in
distributing, as Mrs. Palmer's banker, her donation of £1000
to the poor beneficed clergymen of Wales. He was also much
interested in the formation of schools on the new system of
Joseph Lancaster. His correspondence, part of which is
preserved in the British Museum (Additional MSS. 29281)
gives some interesting details on these matters.
He had originally sympathised with the great French
movement of 1789 ; but, like most Englishmen, recoiled
from the atrocities committed by the revolutionists, and
attached himself to the policy of Mr. Pitt. In the years
1803-5 he was senior captain of the Volunteer Corps at
Knightsbridge, and spent much time on his duties and on
the management of the companies. In the 18 years during
which his life was prolonged at Penzance, he returned with
fresh zeal to his literary pursuits, corresponded much with
Sir Humphrey Davy, and Dr. Edmund Davy, Davids Gil-
bert, &c, and in 1814 helped Dr. Paris and Mr. Ashhurst
Majendie to found the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall;
his eldest son Henry afterwards became well known in con-
nection with it by his " Treatise on Primary Geology," and
the detailed geological description of every Cornish parish
which he contributed to Davies Gilbert's " Parochial His-
tory of Cornwall." In 1817-18 he furnished Sir Thomas
Bernard with valuable evidence as to the pernicious effect
of the Salt laws. He also took an active share in establish-
ing the Public Library at Penzance in 1818, feeling deeply
of what value 'such an institution would have been to him-
self 40 years previously. He was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Literature in 1821. He was much esteemed
by his fellow townsmen; was elected Alderman, and Mayor
in 1816, and took a leading part in Penzance for some years,
where he organised a savings' bank, over the interests of
which he kept a careful watch. He died 8 April 1827, the
long continued east wird of that inclement spring having
fatally intensified a chronic disease of the organs of res-
piration, and was buried in S. Mary's churchyard on the
thirteenth of that month. His autobiography, of which
much use has been made in this sketch, supplies an excellent
instance of the pursuit of knowledge under great difficulties
by a poor friendless boy, who won his way in life literally
by self help.
His brother Arthur, mentioned in the life, became partner
in the Tiverton Bank, 19 April 1808 ; see also Harding's
' Tiverton,' part i, p. 238.
Notices of Henry Boase occur in Davies Gilbert's
" Parochial History of Cornwall," C. S.Gilbert's "Historical
Survey of Cornwall," aud Lake's " Parochial History." The
arms of the family are given in C. S. Gilbert, plate 25. They
are : Ar. on a chevron engrailed gules 5 bezants between an
anchor in base, and 2 birds in chief with wings erect, Or :
crest, a demi-lion charged with 3 bezants on the shoulder,
and a star on the hip, holding in the fore-paws 5 arrows,
4 in saltire, and 5 in fess on the top. The motto is " Per
varios casus."
Of his children, the elder ones born in London were bap-
tised privately by his friend, the Rev. John Townshend,
who founded the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in 1792, and
died in 1826, and whose memoirs were published in 1828.
George was baptised by Mr. Edgcumbe, curate of an Epis-
copal Chapel in Knightsbridge. The three youngest were
baptised at Penzance by the Rev. C. V. Le Grice.
Henry S. Boase.
Henry Samuel Boase, eldest son of Henry Boase, was b.
at No. 6 Knightsbridge, London, 2 Sep. 1799, and privately
bapt. by the Rev. John Townsend on the 7 Nov. After
attending Messrs. Watson's School 32 Sloane street, Chelsea,
he proceeded to the Tiverton Grammar School then
under the mastership of William Richards LL.D., and
in 1815 he was sent to Dublin to study under Edmund Davy,
M.D., Professor of Chemistry etc. to the Royal Dublin
Society. After some stay in Dublin he gave up his inten-
tion of making chemistry his profession, and removing to
Edinburgh took up the study of medicine, and going
through the usual routine was admitted M.D. in 1S21, pub-
lishing for his diploma thesis an essay entitled " Dissertatio
Medica Inauguralis de Contagio." He now commenced
10
practice as a physician at Penzance, but the profession was
so very uncongenial to his taste that he gave it up after a
very short trial. He next turned his attention to Geology,
and in 1822 was appointed Secretary to the Royal Geologi-
cal Society of Cornwall in succession to Mr. John Forbes,
M.D. (afterwards Sir John Forbes) which place he held
until 1829. His first paper in this science was "On
the Tin Ore of Botallack and Levant," read at the annual
meeting in Oct 1822. During 1829-31 he was employed in
ascertaining the nature and boundaries of the Cornish rocks
in order that their geographical relation might be accurately
delineated in a map. On this work he employed two years
and walked 1200 miles, visiting every part of Cornwall and
collecting specimens of the rocks, which were deposited in
the Geological Museum at Penzance, and form a very
valuable series. An account of the journey (with a coloured
geological map of Cornwall on the scale of 5 miles to an
inch) was published in the Geological Transactions, iv.
166-474. The Geological notices of the Cornish parishes
in Davies Gilbert's History of Cornwall as well as in many
of the more modern histories are taken from this account.
In 1834 he published "A treatise on Primary Geology"
a book which still holds its place as a standard work.
During some years of the period already spoken of he
had been a partner in the Penzance Union Bank, with
which establishment he remained connected until its dissol-
ution in Apl 1838. In 1837 he removed to London and
took up his residence in Burton Crescent, and on the 4 May
of the same year was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
In 1S38 he left London and went to Dundee when he
became managing partner in the firm of Turnbull Brothers,
of the Claverhouse Bleachfield; in connection with these
works in 1855 he took out a patent for " Improvements in
the process of drying organic substances." More recently
the Messrs. Turnbull having died and Dr. Boase and his
second son having the larger share in the business, the firm
has become Messrs. Boase & Co. InApl. 1870 Dr. Boase came
into Dundee to reside, and in 1871 retired from taking any
active share in the business. He has published " The
Philosophy of Nature 1860 " and "An Essay on Human
Nature 1865." For an account of his other writings see
Bibl. Cornub. i, 29-30. He m. at Madron 11 Deer. 1824
Elizabeth Valentina, eld. dau. of Will, and Mary Stoddard ;
of his issue of ten children we shall now speak of, (a)
Henry, (A) Alfred, (e) Arthur, (d) John, (c) Samuel.
(a) Henry Boase, eld. child of H. S. Boase of Claver-
house, was b. Chapel St. Penzance, 5 Oct 1825, and privately
bapt, by the Rev. C. V. Le Grice. At an early age he was
adopted by his great uncle Mr. Robert Richards of The
Thorns, Alverton, Penzance, with whom he resided many
years. He was first educated at the Grammar School, Pen-
zance, under the Rev. George Morris, and afterwards at
The High School, Dundee, and then took a situation under
Messrs. Turnbull Brothers, at the Claverhouse Bleach
Field. There he remained until 1 Jan 1865, when in conjunc-
tion with Mr. George Ireland he became the purchaser of the
Wellfield Works, Lillybank, where under the firm of Ireland
and Boase they became Flax and Jute spinners and manu-
facturers of hessians, tarpaulings, sacking, etc. On the death
of Mr. Ireland on the 4 Dec 1871 H. Boase purchased from
his Trustees the other moiety of the business, becoming by
this transaction sole proprietor of the works. Mr. Robert
Richards dying 11 Nov. 1844, H. Boase became owner of
The Thorns, fenzance, subject to the life interest of
Miss Richards, and on the decease of that lady, 20 Feb. 1862,
he sold that property by auction. He m. 15 Sep. 1853 at
Clepington near Dundee, Mary, third dau. of James Thorns
by his wife Margaret Jobson, and has issue.
(b) Alfred Boase, second son of H. S. Boase, was born at
Penzance 20 July 1829, and privately bapt. by the Rev. W.
W. Harvey. After being educated at Penzance and at the
High School, Dundee, he in the year 1845 entered the ser-
vice of the Messrs. Richard and Henry Green, shipowners of
Blackwall, as a midshipman, and in that capacity made
several voyages to the East Indies, Australia and other
places. In 1852 the state of his health obliged him to leave
the sea, and he entered the Claverhouse Bleach fields
(Messrs. Turnbull Brothers) then under his father, as
managing Partner, to learn the bleaching business ; in course
of time he rose to be acting manager, and when in the year
1870 Dr. Boase retired from the direction of the works,
Alfred became sole manager with a share in the business,
the firm consisting of H. S. Boase and Alfred Boase under
the name of " Boase & Co., Yarn millers and calenderers,
Claverhouse Bleach field, Trottick mills and St. Andrew's
street Dundee." He m. 7 May 1853, at Falmouth, his first
cousin, Ellen Bradley, eldest dau. of William Millett Boase,
M.D. and has issue.
(r) Arthur Boase, third son of H. S. Boase, was b. Pen-
zance 2 1 June 1833, and privately bapt. by the Rev. Thos.
Vyvyan. He was educated at Glenalmond College, Perth-
shire, but his health soon commenced failing and he died of
consumption at Claverhouse, Dundee, 8 July 1852, and was
buried in the church yard at Mains.
(&) John Boase, fourth son of H. S. Boase, was b. Burton
Crescent, London, 4 Nov 1 837, and bap. St. Paul's Dundee
1838. After being educated at Glenalmond College he
entered the establishment of the Messrs. Veitch, Horticul-
turists, Exeter, to learn ornamental and scientific garden-
ing, but after studying for some years and finding no open-
ing for his labour in England, he sailed for New Zealand
where he died of fever at Christ Church 6 Feb. 1865. He
m. June 1863 Sarah Jane Knowles and had issue.
fej Samuel Steddard Boase, fifth son of H. S. Boase, was
b. Claverhouse 19 May 1847. After being educated at
Glenalmond College he entered the Lillybank Foundry
under his cousins, Pearce Brothers, to learn machine
making and mechanical drawing. However in 1870 seeing
an opportunity of entering into business he in Dec, in
conjunction with Patrick Spence Mudie, son of R. A. Mudie,
shipowner, Dundee, took the Hank Mill works, where he
now carries on jute spinning, &c, under the firm of Boase
and Mudie. He m. at Newcastle-on-Tyne 6 June 1872
Elizabeth, second dau. of James Spence, ship-agent.
John J. A. Boase.
John Josias Arthur Boase, second son of Henry Boase,
was b. 23 June 1801 at No. 6 Knightsbridge, London, and
privately bapt. by the Rev. John Townshend on 30 July.
He was first educated at Messrs. Watsons' School at 32
Sloane street, and afterwards at the Tiverton Grammar
School (then under the Mastership of Dr. Richards) from
Aug. 1809 to Christmas 1814. He then, after accompanying
his younger brother Charles William for a short time to the
Grammar School, Helston, was placed in the Bank of
Messrs. Batten, Carne and Came at Penzance where he
remained until Midsummer 1817. His father now sent him
to France, and during a residence of fifteen months at St.
Pol de Leon in Brittany he obtained a good knowledge of
the French language. On returning to England in Sep.
1818, he the following Christmas entered the banking-house
of Messrs. Ransom and Co London where he staid until
May 1824. He then after spending six months on the
continent went down to Penzance and took an active part
in the recently established Bank of Messrs. Henry Boase,
Sons & Co., which consisted of his father Mr. Henry Boase,
his brother Mr. H. S. Boase, Mr Trevenen James and
himself, and was called The Penzance Union Bank.
However on 30 Dec. 1831 Mr. Trevenen James retired
and soon after Mr George Grenfell and his son Mr Pascoe
Grenfell joined the firm, which then took the name of
11
12
Messrs. Boase, Grenfell, Boase & Co., and J. J. A.'Boase
and his elder brother became at the same time partners
in the Tin smelting firm of Mr. George Grenfell, which then
becamo known as Grenfell and Boase. These two firms
were dissolved by mutual consent 21 Apl. 1838, the business
of the Penzance Union Bank being sold to the Western
District Banking Co., Mr. Boase remaining Manager of the
new Company. This arrangement however did not continue
rnanj7 years as in 1844 the business was transferred to
Messrs. Ricketts, Bnthoven, Turner, Mason, and James, and
the old name of the Penzance Union Bank was restored ;
another rapid change followed, on the 25 Apl. 1846 the
firm became Messrs. Ricketts, Enthoven, and James, and in
Nov. 1846 the business was dissolved and wound up, and
Mr. Boase who had remained Manager throughout the
various changes finally retired from business.
Mr. Boase was an Assistant of the Old Corporation of
Penzance, which consisted of Aldermen and Assistants, and
when the Municipal Act came into operation in 1835 was
elected a member of the New Town Council for the West
Ward. At the first meeting of the Council he was chosen
one of the Aldermen for the same ward. He has been a
J. P. of the borough for a very long period, having been
appointed in 1836 jointly with Mr. Joseph Carne the first
borough magistrates. He was also in 1838 elected a
Guardian of the Poor for Penzance.
He succeeded the Rev. C. V. Le Grice as President of the
Gentlemen's News Room in January 1859, and held that
position until 1864, when it was converted into the Public
News Room of which Institution he was then elected
President. He was also connected with the Penzance
Public Library for many years and was elected President
in 1858 in the place of Joseph Carne, Esq. On his resig-
nation of the Presidency in 1874 he was unanimously
chosen an Honorary Life Member. Besides the foreign
residence before alluded to, Mr. Boase has travelled a great
deal, and a portion of his leisure time has been devoted to
writing an account of his journies. This work in MS.
occupies twelve volumes folio bound in Russia, and is illus-
trated by several thousand engravings. For an account of
bis contributions to various Literary Journals, see Bibl.
Cornub. i, 30.
For many years he was employed in numismatic researches,
and at one time was the owner of a cabinet consisting of
several thousand coins and medals both ancient and modern,
but in 1860 he parted with the greater portion of his collec-
tion which was sold by Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson in
London, on the fourth of April and the following days.
After the death of Mr. Joseph Carne 12 Oct. 1858, he at the
request of Miss Elizabeth Carne, consented to unite with
her in carrying on the Penzance Bank jointly with Mr.
Philip Marrack and Mr. Thomas Hacker Bodilly, and
having an equal share therein ; but the partnership was
dissolved on the part of Mr. Boase the 30 June 1859.
He m. 4 July 1827 at St. Clement's near Truro, Charlotte
second dau. of Robert Sholl by Mary Beard Milford. She
was b. Rosewin row, Truro, 30 Oct. 1802, and d. Alverton
Vean, Penzance, Wednesday 10 Sep. 1873, bur. the Cemetery

William, (i) George Clement, (c) Edward Ley, (rf) Frederic.
fa) Charles William Boase, eldest child of J. J. A. Boase,
was b. Chapel street, Penzance, 6 July 1828 and bapt. by

Rev. Dr. Tancock 1841-46. Here he gained Lord Fal-
mouth's medals 1841 and 1842, Dr. Cardew's Exhibition
prize 1843, and Lord Falmouth's prize of books in the
same year. He next obtained the Elliot Scholarship of the
value of £30 per annum, which he held at Exeter College
for four years 1846-49. He matriculated at Oxford 4
June 1846, and in the following year gained an open
Scholarship at his College tenable for three years 1847-50.
He obtained a second class in the final classical school Trinity

translators and editors of Ranke's History of England for
the Clarendon Press in 1875, and he has contributed
numerous articles to The Act/demy and other literary journals.
The account of the Deeds and Writs 1300-1836 in the
Dawson Collection in the Penzance Public Library was
compiled by C. W. Boase, and is reprinted from The
Cornish Telegraph in the Catalogue of the Books of the
Penzance Public Library (1874) pp. 336-43.
(bj George Clement Boase, second son of J. J. A. Boase
was b. Chapel street, Penzance. 20 Oct 1829, and privately
bapt. by the Rev. W. W. Harvey 18 Nov. He was educa-
ted at Regent's House Academy and the Grammar School
Penzance, and for a short time in 1844 at Bellevue House
Academy, Penryn. At the age of 15 in 1844 he entered as
a clerk in the Western District Banking Co. Penzance, and
continued there when that company was transferred to
Messrs. Ricketts, Enthoven, & Co. In 1847 he went to
London and engaged himself to Mr. Nehemiah Griffiths,
Ship and Insurance Broker, 2 White Hart Court, Lombard
street ; here he remained for more than three years, and at
the end of that period entered the employment of Messrs.
Ransom & Co. Bankers, 1 Pall Mall East. On the 29 Apl.
1854 he sailed from Liverpool in the " Great Britain " and
landed at Melbourne, Australia, where his first employment
was acting as a corrector of the press on " The Age " news-
paper ; after this he proceeded to the Gold Diggings at
Simpson's Ranges, but not meeting with much success and
the season proving too dry to admit of gold washing, he was
for some time engaged in a general store. On returning to
Melbourne he agreed with Thomas Darchy Esq. of Gelam
Station, Murrumbidgee River, New South Wales, to become
tutor to his family. Accordingly in August 1855 he took up
his residence on the Murrumbidgee, and here and on the
Lachlan river where Mr. Darchy also owned stations he con-
tinued to reside until 1864. During the long period of his
residence here his occupation was varied by his acting as
paid correspondent of the "Sydney Morning Herald" in
the Lower Murrumbidgee and Lower Lachlan districts.
In 1864 he sailed from Melbourne in the " Yorkshire "
Capt. Reynell, and landed at Falmouth in a pilot boat on
Midsummer eve in the same year. In 1865 he became
manager for Messrs. 11. M. Whitehead & Co. Australian
Provision Merchants, Loudon, with whom he remained until
Midsummer 1874, when he retired from business and has
since devoted his time to the collection of materials for the
second volume of the " Bibliotheca Cornubiensis, " the first
volume of which in connection with Mr. William Prideaux
Courtney he had brought out in Deo. 1873.
(c) Edward Ley Boase third son of J. J. A. Boase was
b. Chapel street, Penzance, 26 May 1836, bapt S. Mary's
by the Rev. Thomas Vyvyan 22 July, and was educated
at Bath under Mr. Shaw, and at Caen in Normandy in 1853.
He went to Australia with his brother G. C. Boase in 1854
and was first employed in an office in Hobart Town, Tas-
mania. After holding various situations for some years
both in Victoria and New South Wales, including taking
13
14
part in the collection of the census of the former colony in
1857, he ahout 1866 opened a store of his own in Pall
Mall, Sandhurst, where he still continues, and has built him-
self a residence in the vicinity of the town. He m. 1867
Jane Millar and has issue.
(d) Frederic Boase fourth son of J. J. A. Boase was b.
at Lariggan, near Penzance, 7 Oct. 1843, and bapt. at S.
Mary's 1? Nov. by the Rev. E. Shuttleworth. He was
educated at the Penzance Grammar School 1855-57, at
Bromsgrove Grammar School, Worcestershire, under the
Rev. J. D. Collis, D.D.,Aug. 1857, to Dec. 1859 and at Probus
under the Rev. Samuel Stead 1860-61. Being articled to
Messrs. Rodd and Cornish, Solicitors, Penzance, 24 Dec.
1861, he passed his intermediate examination in London
Nov. 1864, and his final examination Jan. 1867, and was
admitted an attorney and solicitor 30 Jan. 1867. Since that
time he has followed his profession in Exmouth and in
London,
Charles W. Boase.
Charles William Boase, third son of Henry Boase,
was b. No. 6 Knightsbridge, London, 8 June 1804, and pri-
vately baptised by the rev. John Townshend, 26 July,
removed to Penzance with his father in 1810, aDd was edu-
cated at the Helston Grammar School under Rev. William
Stabback. After this he went to France and resided for some
time at St. Pol de Leon and obtained a fair knowledge of tho
French language. On his return he proceeded to Portsmouth
where he studied in order to qualify himself for becoming an
engineer, but after a time abandoning this intention he
with the view of learning Scotch banking entered the
Dundee New Bank, in 1821 and after passing through
various grades of service, on the retirement of Mr. William
Roberts, who went to Glasgow, became manager of the
Union Bank, and died 14 Apl. 1832, was appointed manager
of the bank. In 1837 he was invited to take the manage-
ment of the Dundee Bank, and this proposal led to the
amalgamation on the 31 Jan. 1838 of the Dundee New Bank
with the Dundee Banking Co., established in 1763, Mr.
C. W. Boase assuming the management on the 13 March
under the title of Cashier. In 1840 the Directors to relieve
themselves of some of their duties appointed Mr. C. W.
Boase manager ; and his brother, Mr. G. C. Boase, became
cashier. This position he held till Feb. 1864, when the
Dundee Bank was merged in the Royal Bank of Scotland,
but he still continued to manage the business till 21 Dec.
1867, when he retired on a pension. On the 10 Jan. 1851
he was presented by the Directors with the sum of two
hundred guineas '• in consideration of his valuable and
efficient services for the past thirteen years." And on the
9 Mch. 1857 he was presented with £300 "in token of
their satisfaction at the result of the past year's business."
Shortly after he came to Dundee he took a deep interest
in promoting the establishment of the Watt Destitution, and
in 1 824 the year when it was called into existence he was
elected Secretary and Treasurer which appointments he held
until 1828. He arranged the museum of the Institution,
occasionally delivered lectures to its members and until its
dissolution was one of its warmest supporters.
In 1842 when the town of Dundee became bankrupt, C.
W. Boase was one of the trustees elected by the creditors.
At one period he was a director of the Public Seminaries, and
he also took part in the discussion relative to the improve-
ments of the harbour, his financial knowledge of the business
of the town rendering his opinion of considerable value.
In 1836 Mr. Boase became " a believer in the restoration
of Apostles to the Church," and one of a small company of
like faith worshipping in a room in Whitehall Close under
the care of the Rev. G. Crosbie. Soon after he at his own
cost erected an elegant little chapel in Bell street to which,
the congregation removed, and continued there until 30
Nov. 1867 when the present church in Constitution road
was opened for service. " Mr. Boase was ordained to the
Priesthood in Oct. 1836 and to the Episcopate in Aug. 1851,
and after his retirement from business in 1867 had charge of
the Evangelistic work throughout Scotland, in consequence
of which he removed in Nov. 1870 to Drummond-place,
Edinburgh." As a preacher he had a popular style and a
happy knack of making himself perfectly understood, so that
on occasions when it was announced that he was going to
preach many of the outside public attended the church. He
originally resided in Meadow Place, Dundee, having a
country house at Newport in Fife, but about 1859
went to reside at Balgay House, Dundee. With the
intention of providing illustrations of the Scriptures for the
members of his own congregation and others, he employed
Mr. John Alexander and other artists to make for him
copies of many of the most celebrated paintings of the old
masters existing in foreign collections ; for the proper exhi-
bition of these paintings he built a special gallery at the
rear of his house in Meadow Place, and with the hope of
encouraging a taste for art in Dundee, these paintings were
on more than one occasion lent for public exhibition. One
of these pictures, a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's great paint-
ing of the Last Supper he presented in 1870 to the Albert
Institute, Dundee, the others were removed to Edinburgh,
and the collection has now been dispersed.
As an author he has published several works on con-
troversial theology, for which see Bibl. Cornub. i. 28,
but the publication by which he will be chiefly
remembered is entitled " A Century of Banking in Dun-
dee," a mass of facts and figures extending over nearly four
hundred pages, and affording most useful information to
all persons interested in banking statistics. C. W. Boase
died rather suddenly on Friday the 7th June 1872, while
staying at Albury, Surrey, " attending a Council of Minis-
ters of the Catholic Apostolic Church :" his remains were
interred in the burial ground of the parish church on the 12
June. He m. 9 Dec. 1832 at Dundee Helen, fifth dau.
of William and Alison Lindsay, and had issue seven child-
ren ; of these we propose to speak of two (a) Edward (b)
Clement.
(a) Edward Boase, second son of C. W. Boase, was b.
Dundee 16 Dec. 1841, educated at Gothic House, Rotting-
dean (Mr. Arthur Orlebar's), and at Glcnalmond College,
Perthshire He entered the 93rd Sutherland High-
landers in 1860, purchasing his Ensignship 21 Dec.
1860, and his Lieutenancy 10 July 1863. He served in
India for some y ears, and after his return, namely in the
commencement of 1868, sold out his commission. Soon
after retiring from the army he entered into partnership
with Messrs. Robert and Henry Small and his cousin W. L.
Boase, under the names of Messrs. Small and Boase, Hemp
spinners, twine makers, and manufacturers, having pi aces of
business at Rockwell Works. Dundee and Hawkslaw Works,
Leven. On the death of Mr. Henry Small in 1869 Mr.
Robert Small retired from the firm, and the business was
continued by Edward Boase and W. L. Boase under the
same title of Small and Boase, until 1 Dec. 1875. At that
date they sold the Rockwell Factory and business to W. L
Boase. Shortly after, they took a partner, Mr. George
Shann ; and Edward Boase, W. L. Boase, and George Shann
carry on at Leven the business of Hemp Spinners under the
name of Small and Boase. He m. 31 Oct. 1871 Emilia only
dau. of the late John Bell, solicitor, Dundee.
(b) Clement Boase, third son of C. W. Boase, was b.
Dundee 13 May 1846, and educated at Glenalmond College,
Perthshire. In May 1864 he entered the Dundee Bank and
served as an apprentice until about the end of 1867, when
he determined to devote himself to the ministry ; accord-
ingly in 1870 he was admitted to the Deaconship in the
15
16
C. A. Church, Dundee, but was removed in Jan. 1872 to
the Church in Edinburgh, where he still remains. He
m. 4 Apl. 1872 Charlotte Hannah, second dau. of Charles
D. Young, engineer, Perth.
George C. Boase.
George Clement Boase, fourth son of Henry Boase, was
b. at 127 Sloane street, Chelsea 25 Aug. 1810, and privately
bapt. by the Rev. C . Edgecombe ; he was educated at the
Exeter Grammar School then under the Mastership of Dr.
Collins, from thence he proceeded to Queen's College,
Cambridge, where he resided 1828-29 but not sufficiently
long to take a degree. He then went down to Dundee to
visit his elder brother Charles, cashier of the Dundee New
Bank, the result of which was that in the summer of 1830
he became a clerk in the Bank, and in August 1832 the
directors deeming it desirable to have a confidential clerk to
take the cashier's place in his absence, he was offered the
appointment and became also a partner in the Bank. As
before stated, under C. W. Boase, the Dundee New Bank
was amalgamated with the Dundee Banking-Co. in January
1838, and the Dundee Bank Directors wishing to relieve
themselves of part of their duties, resolved in April 1840 to
make C. W. Boase, manager, G. C. Boase succeeding him
as cashier, a position which he held until the amalgamation
in February 1864 of the Dundee Bank with the Royal Bank
of Scotland, when he became sub-manager, (George Mac-
kenzie, accountant, being made cashier), and so continued
until 21 Dec. 1867, when he retired on a pension. Like C.
W. Boase, he, in the commencement of 1836, joined the
body now generally known as the Catholic Apostolic
Church and was ordained to the Priesthood in October of
that year. About twelve months after giving up business,
that is in the autumn of 1 868, he removed to Brighton to
take the charge of the Church there. G. C. Boase is the
author of several theological tracts, etc., and has been the
composer of many fugitive poems. An account of some of his
writings will be found in the Bill. Cormib. i. 28. He m.
22 Dec. 1835 at Carolina Port, Dundee, Jane Smyth, fourth
dau. of William and Alison Lindsay. Of his issue we pro-
pose to speak of (a) George William, (I) William Lindsay.
( a J George William, eldest son of Geo. Clement Boase,
was b. Dundee 6 Feb. 1837, and began his education under
the Rev. Alexander Sterling, Tay square, Dundee, subse-
quc ntly attending for a short time a private school kept by
the Rev. T. G. Torry Anderson, in Hawkill place, and
afterwards the Dundee Public Seminaries or High School
from 1S47 to 1850. He went to Gothic House, Rottingdean,
(Mr. Arthur Orlebar's) in September 1850, but from bad
health had to leave at Midsummer 1851. He then attended
the higher classical and mathematical classes at the High
School, Dundee, during 1852 and 1853, and on the 12th
September in the latter year entered the Dundee Bank as an
apprentice, and after passing through the ordinary routine
was appointed secretary 14 April 1862, and in February
1864, on the occasion of the amalgamation of the
Dundee Bank with the Royal Bank of Scotland became
cashier, which position he still holds, (Mr. Mackenzie,
cashier, having been promoted to be manager on the retire-
ment of Messrs. C. W. and G. C. Boase in Dec. 1867.) He
m. 2 Dee. 1874 at St. Mary Magdalen Church, St. Leonards,
Sussex, Florence second dau. of the late Rev. Cuthbert
Orlebar of Nottingham, sometime Vicar of Podington,
Bedfordshire, by Eleanor, eldest dau. of John Kingston,
of the Stamp Office.
fl>) William Lindsay Boase, second son of Geo. Clement
Boase, was b. Dundee 2 May 1841. He was educated at
the High School, Dundee, until 1856, when he went for a
year to Luxembourg, and in 1857 to Gothic Hall, Clapham.
In 1858 he entered the office of the late James Bayford,
Esq., Proctor, Doctors Commons, and in the same year
obtained a clerkship in the Probate Office, where he re-
mained until the spring of 1861. In May 1861 he pur-
chased from Alexander Easson, Esq., a factory at Johns-
haven, Kincardineshire, for the manufacture of hemp sacking
by hand looms, and subsequently from the same gentleman,
the Maxwelltown Factory, Dundee. In 1868 he joined the
firm of Boswell and Co., hemp spinners, Leven, and in 1869,
when Edward Boase was admitted a partner, the name of
the firm was altered to Small and Boase. On 1 Dec. 1875
he purchased from Small and Boase their factory and
business at Rockwell Works, Dundee, and carries on these
works, and also the factories at Johnshaven and Maxwell-
town, in partnership with Mr. Thomas Murdoch who was
admitted a partner in 1871, under the firm of W. L. Boase
and Co. He m. at St. Andrew's 14 Mch. 1867, Eliza Russell,
twin-daughter of Leslie Meldrum, Esq., of Devon Iron

ted and brought up as an architect and a builder, and was
the designer and builder of the residences known as
Herbier House, Alverne Hill, and a considerable portion of
Wellington Terrace, Penzance, etc. Mr. John Boase was
a class leader and lay preacher amongst the Wesleyan
Methodists until 1835, when he joined the C. A. Church
and became the Minister of that denomination at Penzance.

Mary's chapel 28 July. After being educated at Tiverton
Grammar School and at Queen's College, Cambridge, where
he kept three terms, he proceeded to Edinburgh in 182 —
where he studied medicine; on taking his M.D. degree in
1823 he published as his diploma thesis Disputatio Medico,
inauguralis quadam de Phrenetide complectens, Edinburgh, J.
Moir, 1823, 8vo. In 1827 Mch. 28, he m. at Madron his
first cousin Jane Lydia, 4th dau. of Hen. Boase, and shortly
afterwards took up his residence at Falmouth where there
was an opening for a physician, owing to the recent death
of Richard Edwards, M.D. During 1828-29 he assisted in
editing the third and fourth volumes of The Selector, or
Cornish Magazine, a periodical to which he contributed
various articles. During 1835 he published a pamphlet
entitled HniU on the exercise of the elective franchise. This
work was in reference to the contested election for Penryn
and Falmouth in January 1835, when Jas. AVill. Freshfield,
(of the firm of Messrs. Freshfields'. solicitors to the Bank of
England) Robt. Monsey Rolfe, (Solicitor-General, after-
wards Lord Chancellor Cran worth), and Lord Tullamore,
(afterwards the Earl Charleville), were the candidates,
the two former being elected. In the same year he
became a member of the C. A. Church, and soon after was
appointed a minister of the chapel belonging to that
denomination on the Moor Falmouth. In 1857 he left
Falmouth and took up his residence at 52, Torrington place,
Plymouth, where he still lives. He has for many years
past relinquished his professional practice, and is now
Minister of the C. A. Church, Plymouth. His only sur-
viving son,

(2) John Jones Pearce was b. at Tredinney, Burvan, 15
Apl. 1795, entered the Royal Navy in 1804, was
gazetted Lieutenant 1814, and on the conclusion of
peace was placed on half pay. Being desirous of em-
ployment he took" the command of the " Tulloch Castle"
and traded backwards and forwards to and from the
West Indies and London. From over exertion in the
discharge of his duty in 1823 at Kingston, Jamaica, he
fell into a consumption, from the effects of which he
never recovered. In 1831 he finally left the sea, and
retiring to his native county took up his residence at
Burlton Castle. Newlvn. It was here during the
terrible outbreak of cholera which devastated Newlyn in
1832 when so many persons ran away from the danger,
that he and his wife remained at their post, aidingtheir
neighbours by their precept and example, and adminis-
tering to their wants with money, food and medicine
to the utmost of their means. During the remaining
months of his life he was quite an invalid, the con-
sumptive symptoms returning with great violence. It
was during one of his rides that in passing Hen Moor,
Madron, he was particularly struck with a view of the
mount from a plot of ground belonging to Mr. Ratten.
It was not long before he made up his mind on the mat-
ter. He purchased the ground, and commenced building
himself a house, afterwards known asPolmenna ; he did
not, however, live to inhabit it, for after much
suffering, he died at Burlton Castle 10 July 1833, and
was interred in the burial ground at the east end of
Madron Church 13 July, where a tombstone has been
erected to his memory. He married Anna Maria
Henrietta eldest child of Henry Boase and Anne
Craige, who was b. at No. 1, Knightsbridge, London,
opposite the Chapel, on Monday morning 18 Jan. 1796,
and was privately bapt. by the Rev. John Townshend on
Thursday 4 Feb." She was educated at the Misses
Babington's School, Sloane street, Chelsea, and joined
her parents at Penzance in 1811. She took a con-
siderable share in the education of her sisters, and was
for some years a companion to her father. On the 20
40
Nov. 1 S 2 1 , she was married at Madron by the Rev.
George Treweeke to Lieut. John Jones Pearce, R.N.
From 1825 to 1831, during her husband's voyages to
the West Indies, she resided at Greenwich. A few
months after his decease, she removed from Burlton
Castle to Polmenna, a country house which her hus-
band during his life had commenced building. Some
time after, in 1835, she erected another house on an
adjacent plot of ground. In 1S36 she and her family
joined the. C. A. Church. She left Polmenna in 1845,
and went to Dundee, first residing at No. 1, then at
No. 2, Nelson street, afterwards at '67, Constitution
road, and No. 2, King street. She now, 1876, lives at
Eden grove, Arbroath road. In 186 — she sold both
her houses at Polmenna for the sum of £1600, although
the land and the buildings had cost upwards of £2,500.
She enjoys a Lieutenant's widow's pension from the

at Lea, d. Alverne Hill, Penzance 5 Mch 1823, bur.
St. Mary's churchyard,
ii Henry Jones Pearce b. Wellington place, Tenzance
14 July fS2J, bap. by the Rev. M. N. Peters, at St.
Mary's on the 6 Aug. He was placed under the Rev.
George Morris, at the Penzance Grammar School,
where he remained from 1835 to 1839. In 1S40 he
took a situation in the Western District Bank at
Penzance and remained with that firm ami with their
successors Messrs. Ricketts, Enthoven, and Co. until
April 1844. He then went to Dundee, where after
sometime he joined Alexander Brown Glenday
(previously a clerk in the Dundee Bank) in a
shipping business, but this not proving profitable, he
in Nov. 184S entered the banking house of Messrs.
Ransom and Co., No. 1, Pall Mall East, London. Here
he got on very well, and would, if he had remained,
have been high in the office, as within a very few
years the whole of the staff with the one exception
of Mr. Cox the cashier died or left the establishment;
but hearing of a vacancy in the Dundee Bank which
he thought would suit him, and being desirous of
being near his mother, he left London in Sep. 1S50
and joined the Dundee Bank in the same month.
There he continued until 3 1 March 1862, when he and
his brother William Alfred Pearce under the name of
Pearce Bros., took over the Lilly bank foundry, which
W. A. Pearce had previously conducted with William
Wylie Neish under a five years partnership which
expired at this time. This establishment they still
carry on.
iii William Alfred Pearce was b. at Park Row, Green-
wich, 13 May 1826, and bap. at St. Alphage,
Greenwich, June 1826. He was educated from
1840-41. at Penair House Academy, Penzance,
then under the management of the late Mr. John
Barwis. In 1841, he was sent to Tuckingmill and
placed under the care of Mr. John Phillips to learn
mechanical drawing, and at the 1842 Exhibition of
the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society he obtained
a prize for a drawing of a stationary steam engine.
After this, in May 1843, he proceeded to Dundee,
and there bound himself an apprentice for five
years to Messrs. Kinmonds Hutton, and Steele,
Wallace Fouudry, where he practically learnt the
business of machine making in all its various details.
On the expiration of his apprenticeship, he worked
as a journeyman for some months, then entered the
Drawing Office of Messrs. Fawcett, Preston and Co.,
engineers, Liverpool, from which he obtained the
situation of chief draughtsman with Messrs. Martin
Samuelson and Co., Hull, where he remained a year,
and then seeing no prospect of advancement or im-
41
42
provement lie left them and went across to Caen in
Normandy (where his cousins G. C. and E. L. Boase
were then residing) with the intention of studying
the French language, but in about two months
hearing of a situation in the Drawing Office at
H.M. Dockyard, Portsmouth, he returned to England
and obtained the place of draughtsman at the Steam
factory there. In 1857 Lilly Bank Foundry,
Dundee, being to let, he in conjunction with Wm.
Wylie Neish took it and entered into partnership as
machine makers under the title of Pearco and Neish
for five years from 31st March, at the expiration of
which time the partnership was allowed to run out.
On 31 Mch. 1802, he joined his brother H. J. Pearee,
and under the title of Pearee Brothers, steam engine
and boiler makers, millwrights, etc., the firm still
continues. W. A. Pearee m. firstly at St. Paul's
Dundee, 14 .Tuue 1S-53, his first cousin Anna Maria,

Text-
Col. 1. The following curious early notice of the name of
Boase occurs in Hector Boethius' History of Scotland, lib.
12, Fol. 266, line 65 (ed. Paris, 1527.) After speaking of
the families which came over witli Queen Margaret
from Hungary, he adds : — " Other families came over
at different times from France, as Fraseir, Sinclair,
Bosual, Montalth, Montgomerie, Cambell, Boas, Betuin,
Taillefer, Bodenal." The author of The Norman People,
1874, derives the name Bowes from Hugh de Boves
(from Boves in Picardy), King John's Admiral, who
perished in the great storm 26 Sep. 1215. (See
Rymer's Fcedera, i, 134, Rot. Pat. i, 114, Wendover,
iii, 287.) This is merely conjecture. John however
did give lands near Penzance to another of his chiefs,
HeDry 1c Tyes (Teutonicus), a military engineer from
Germany.

Col. 1. John Bremble had a son John bap. * 1 May 170C,

May Andrew of Tregarden, widow of William Warne
b. 26 May 1812. (See Sir J. Maclean, ii, 530.) It was
this son who took out the patents.
Col. 4. John Hewett published a new edition of Carew's
Cornwall in 1769. In the Madron register we find : —
' 1754 Nov. 20. John Hewett m. Jane Adams, both of
Penzance.' H. Boase adds : — ' The monthly publica-
tions did not reach us at soonest before the fifteenth
of the month : there was no coach westward of Exeter,
the mail which was forwarded thence to Penzance three
times a week on horseback was in all five days coming
from London. But even then the change which had
taken place within the memory of aged people was
thought wonderful. At the beginning of the last
century only one newspaper, and that once a-week,
reached as far as Godolphin, whither it was sent by the
Lord Treasurer Godolphin, and laid on the table of the
Great Hall for the accommodation of the gentlemen of
the district, who rode over occasionally to learn the
news.'
