Early Origins of the Sengel family

The surname Sengel was first found in Cornwall where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Trenthic.

"The barton of Trenethick [in Wendron, Cornwall] was at an early period the property of the Seneschalls, from whom it was carried by an heiress to the family of Hill." 1
