Early Origins of the Polglaze family

The surname Polglaze was first found in Cornwall where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Polglaze. Polglase (Polglaze) is now a lost village but it is generally thought to have been near St. Earme, not far from Killigrew in Cornwall. Polglaze was the name of places in Cuby and Cury parishes, having derived from pol-glase, -glaze, the green pool. 1

One of the first records of the family was John de Polglas who was listed in Cornwall in 1297. 2
