  1. 2.  Sir Vyell (7th Bt) Vyvyan Descendancy chart to this point (1.Philip1) was born on 12 Jul 1767; died on 27 Jan 1820.

    Notes:

    He succeeded as the 7th Baronet Vyvyan, of Trelowarren, Cornwall on 4 October 1814.

    The origin of the Vyvyan family is lost in legend. In Cornish the word 'vyvyan' means 'to flee' or escape, and the Vyvyans, in common with the Trevelyans, cherished the legend that a Vyvyan was the last governor of the lost land of the Lyonesse, from which he escaped on horseback as it sank beneath the waves. Thomas Tonkin in his edition of Sir Richard Carew's Survey of Cornwall noted that 'the Vyvyans anciently bore argent, a lion rampant, gules, standing on the waves of the sea, proper (which waves have of late been left out), and still give for their crest, an horse, argent, on which they tell you the governor saved himself'.

    (Research):Possibly Sir Vyell Vyvyan, 7th Bt. (1767-1820)

    The Vyvyans are a prominent Cornish family who were members of Parliament, baronets, and landowners in Penwith and Kerrier since the 15th century. The Vyvyan family have held the large Trelowarren Estate in the parish of Mawgan-in-Meneage in west Cornwall for nearly 600 years.
    They moved to Trelowarren in 1427 from Trevegean, St. Buryan when they acquired Trelowarren through marriage to the daughter of Honora Ferrers, heiress to the estate of the previous owner, Richard Ferrers. Trelowarren's first garden (at least under the Vyvyans) is recorded in 1428. In the English Civil War (1642-1651) the Vyvyans were royalist supporters. Sir Richard Vyvyan (1613-1724), 1st Baronet, was given a large equestrian portrait of King Charles I (1600-1649), a copy of the famous painting by Anthony van Dyck, by King Charles II (1630-1685) in recognition of his support
