I wonder if it appears in a printed tree somewhere?
An extremely distant relation was killed when dragged off a cliff by a brace of greyhounds. A bit like being killed by a frozen chicken: an event so unlikely that I assume it must be true.
If he were murdered, and the assailant arrested, then there should have been a trial. Or do any coroners' records survive for Cornwall? Or there might be a diary for the period, or letters? If there is a VCH, it could be mentioned there, or in a local history.
