A notice found in a
transcription of the West Briton, 1 Sep 1837:
A Yeoman of Cornwall - An old farmer of the name of Greenway, who is now 87 years of age, and residing in the parish of Blisland, has, this season, in addition to the usual routine of his farm, shorn the whole of his flock. On one of the days when he was so occupied, this veteran accomplished the surprising feat of shearing 26 sheep without the help of any one but his dog, whose business it was to fetch the sheep for his master.
I have 18th century Greenway ancestors christened in nearby St Breward. I like to think this one is a cousin.
