Old Deeds, and Wake Co., Court Minutes, Also NC marriage bonds. Traweek-Trawick-Trayweak-Traywick-Trayweek nad various other spellings may be explained by the fact that many could not read, write and spell, therefore the spelling was by sound. HISTORY OF THE NAME "TRAWEEK" Traweeks in America are decendents of Robarde Traweek and Elinor Hall of Cornwall County, England. Accordingto records in the London Archives, the first Traweeks in England were Vikings from Norway who landed on the shores of Northumberland, England, near the presentcity of Newcastle-on-Tyne in the year 1000 A.D. The name in Norway would be spelled Trevik(Tra-week) meaning, ( THE VILLAGE AT THE MOUTH OF THREE RIVERS). InEngland there are two places the Traweek family seems to be concentrated and these are Northumberland (Old Northumbria) and Cornwall. There are over 30 different spellings of the name in England. The most common or original beingTrewickof Northumberland and Treweek of Cornwall. TREWICK is pronounced TRUE-ICK andTREWEEK is pronounced TRAY-WEEK. Our TRA or TRAY is an Americanization of TRE, meaning three. The TRAWEEK, TRAYWICK, TRAWICK families all come from the families of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia in America and in England. The oldest spelling in English Records is DE TREWYK in the 1200`s A.D. There is a ManorHouse in Northumberland, England, calles TREWICK MANOR (manor being a landed estate) Adjacent to the manor house is the Township of TREWICK; which is basicallya part of the manor estate. The old manor house is now in ruins, present manorhouse is about 300 years old, and is owned by Sir Stephen Middleton and has been in the family for about 200 years. An Ancient well on the estate was built by the Traweek ancestors about 800 years ago. The meaning of the name in Cornwall and Northumberland is (THE COTTAGE AT OR NEAR THE EDGE OF THE FOREST), WICK orWEEK meaning village, cottage, or dwelling place. Many Traweeks have thought that maybr they are Welsh, German, or Dutch. One reason for this belief is a result of the family`s arrival in America in the late 1600`s with Welsh and Scottish colonists; However, research shows that the name is definitely of English origin. The family was and is known in England, and in early America, as "Landed Gently" or "Gentle Folk" or "people who owned much land." According to Carolyn (Traweek) Hellen of Houston, Texas, and Monterey, Alabama, and Dr. Stella Traweek of Austin, Tx., who did the research on the History of the name TRAWEEK, andcredit is accorded to her. Early Virginia records - compiled by Dr. Rulon M. Smithson, The earliest reference we have found to the Traweek name is in 1663, 17,April at which time Philip Huniford patented 800 acres of land in Surry Co., and Isle of Wright Co., Va., land bordering on the land of Jno. Trawicks. (Patent book 5, pg. 503) in 1666, John Trewicks was mentioned as a "headright" of Philip Hiniford of Surry and Isle of Wright Co., VA., when Huniford requested a grant of land. No information has yet been found to connect this John Trawick to other Trawicks living in early 1700`s but it is likely that he is the father ofthe family in America.
