Trigry...Place in Cornwall?

[Wilkes_ml]

Hoping some kind person with a knowledge of Cornwall knows of Trigry...it doesn't appear to be a parish, so I'm wondering if it is an estate somewhere ..It appears in a will dated 1706, so may not even exist today.

Could it be Tregony?

There's a Tregrehan (pronounced "trigrayn"). Just guessing!
I should know better than to try to answer a Cornish question! I bet Mark will know the answer. Let's wait for him ...

This is how it looks in the will

It could be Triguy or even Trigwy. But I don't know Cornwall: haven't been there for about fifty years!

The more I look at it, the more I think Devonmade is right - TREGONY, spelt TRIGNY.
Perhaps??

Thanks everyone...now that I look at it again I can see it says Trigny and not Trigry, and Tregony/Tregny could sound like Trigny to a man from Gloucestershire, if their accents were different.

The will belonged to a man on a ship, who obviously had no family, so he bequethed all his worldly goods to his 3 loving friends (his words!) and shipmates
