John Trevanion

John Trevanion

John Trevanion of Caerhayes in Cornwall (b 1613 - 1643) was a royalist officer in the English civil war.

A seventeenth century ode relating to four Cornish commanders included the distich:

They did not all fall at the same time, nor in the same place. All four were killed in the year 1643. Slanning and Trevanion were slain at the siege of Bristol; Sir Bevil Grenville fell at the Battle of Lansdowne near Bath, where an obelisk has been erected to his memory; and Sir Sidney Godolphin was shot in the porch of the Globe lnn at Chagford in Devon [ [http://books.google.com/books?id=WfEIAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA629&lpg=PA629&dq=slanning+trevanion+slain&source=web&ots=QiwLGT-mFh&sig=qLSbe6aA1BzCPnNZE-yjPrSfuXQ The Gentleman's Magazine July-December 1860] ]
