A’Lee was a large family farming around Polperro. In 1830, Thomas A’Lee, born 1789, died, so the tenancy of Killigarth Manor passed to his son John (1780-1847). Another son, Charles (1783-1860) took over the tenancy of Talland Barton and a third, Thomas (1789-1829), took the tenancy of Porthallow.
Thomas and his wife Philippa (nee Johns) both died young, leaving their young family to be brought up by his brother John A’Lee at Killigarth.
