This page contains links to the first image of 1601-1857 Cornwall wills of people named KEAM or its variants. In particular, the earliest spellings began with C and included CAME, CEAM, CEAMS, CEAMES.

The wills are listed chronologically. This has the effect of listing the C wills before the K wills, since C was used as the first letter of the surnames through the 1736 will, while K was used as the first letter in wills from the 1740 will onward.

The links are to FamilySearch images of wills held by Kresen Kernow (formerly the Cornwall Record Office) in record group AP. Thus, the full call number for a specific will referred to as K1191 here would be AP/K/1191. Kresen Kernow does hold additional wills in record group SO, for the years after 1857. Those records are not included here.

The format of each entry is:

  • shortened call number
  • name of the deceased
  • year of probate (which is not necessarily the same as the year of death)
  • town of the deceased
  • in some cases: A for administration (same as Bond), W for will, D for dependency
  • in some cases: Im for Image PDF, Tr for Transcription PDF
