  (3) Thomas Vivian of St. Martin's in the Fields, Middlesex (bpt 10.08.1617, bur 03.09.1691)
  BP1934 ('Vivian)' reports that Thomas, 2nd son of John of Trewan by Mary Cavill, was grandfather of Thomas of Comprigney who m. Lucy Glynn. J.L. We followgVivian who shows Thomas of Comprigney as son of this Thomas's brother Richard, just below.

  BP1934 (Vivian) & Vivian (in his works on the Visitations) disagree as to how this Thomas (or, rather, his father) fits into the Vivian family. We give precedence to what is shown by Vivian who provides details on his siblings. Note that BP1934 identifies the husband of Lucy Glyn as 'of Comprigney' whilst that designation is given by J.L. Vivian to this Thomas's father and identifies this Thomas as 'of Kenwyn'.
