  • Notes 
    • Little is known of the earliest Biddicks. However, the Biddick family started to appear in the local parish registries in 1781, when Matthew Biddick I married Sarah Edwards. To this union were born: Nicholas, Mariah, Peter, George, Mary, and Matthew II. The next tenant family on the farm belonged to Matthew Biddick II. He was the second son, and in 1816 married Mary Tonkin, of the parish of St. Breoch. Mary was the daughter of John and Ann Tonkin.

      Matthew and Mary were the parents of nine children, all born on Trewince. Their names were: Matthew III, Mary E., Peter, George, Richard, Kezia, Hannah, John, and Elizabeth. Matthew and Mary and their family are the generations that sought refuge in the new world.
    • Proved in the County Registry of the Bishop of Exeter, July 26, 1814.
