Name Thomas TREVILIAN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1520 - Shown as son of John and Avice in the Devon Vis of 1620 (according to Vivian), but this must be questionable due to there being no mention of him in either his father's will or (more significantly) IPM. (See his parents marriage notes for more consideration of this).

Father John TREVILIAN, Esq., b. Est 1489, d. Abt 1546 (Age ~ 57 years) Mother Avice COCKWORTHIE, [Mother?], b. Abt 1485, d. Aft 1551 (Age ~ 67 years) Married Bef 1500 - Before a Chancery case dated between 1498 and 1500.
The Devon Vis, as shown by Vivian, indicates that John and Avice had a second son, Thomas, who lived at Yarnscombe.
However, no son Thomas is mentioned in his will or (so far as I can work out) in his IPM (so far I have only seen one version of the Dorset one, and the omission may be because lands had already been granted to him, as often happened as part of a marriage settlement - but even so I would have expected the lands to descend to Thomas before to his uncle or great uncles or their descendants, should his brother John have died was childless). This is what his John's father's will seems to expect - it only specifies that property should descend to his son Thomas or his brothers if there was no issue of his son John. Thomas left a large family when he died in 1565, so I don't believe he could have been a grandson of John *and Avice) but I wonder if he was John's brother.
Seeing the various IPMs may sort this out (none of the 1563 and 1577 IPMs seem to be transcribed in the Trevelyan Papers).
