Biography

•  !BIRTH: John Hobson Matthews, "A History of Saint Ives, Lelant, Towednack, and

Zennor in the County of Cornwall" (London: Elliot Stock, 1892), pp. 463-465. Gives an account of Zenobia Stevens who renews her life lease, at the expiration of it's 99-year term on her life only. Her great nephew gave her age as 102 at her death in 1763, and went on to say that her daughter Zenobia Baragawanth died at age "98 or 98." These are obviously exagerations, as the daughter in question has both her birth and death recorded in the registers, and was only age 75 at death. The mother may indeed have been quite old, but no older than her late 90s, as her last child was christened at Zennor in 1711.
