- From a lineage published in 1899: A writer of fiction
Is this the same individual (from wikipedia):
Ernest G. Henham was born in 1870 and his writings include a series of novels based on Dartmoor, the moorland in Devon, England, where he lived much of his life. He created a pseudonym, John Trevena, for many of his books. It was probably no coincidence that the surname he chose was the original name for Tintagel, the legendary location of King Arthur's castle.
Henham wrote more than two dozen books, which were published between 1897 and 1927. He was considered a recluse, but often used people he encountered in real life for the characters in his work. In addition to the United Kingdom, his books were also published in the United States. The New York Times reviewed his books twice, on 21 March 1908 and 23 August 1914. He is perhaps best known for his trilogy: Furze the Cruel, Heather and Granite.


- From another researcher: “Henham authored at least 25 novels, many set in Dartmoor. He apparently lived in the Canadian Northwest for a while, then returned to England, living in Dartmoor. He stopped using his given name Thomas, and then beginning about 1907, wrote his books under the name John Trevena. A number of his books are available today.”
