Trelawny was baptised on 15 February 1687 at Egg Buckland, Devon, the eldest son of Brigadier-General Henry Trelawny of Trelawne, Pelynt, Cornwall and his first wife Rebecca Hals, daughter of Matthew Hals of Effert. In 1702 he succeeded his father.[2] He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 19 January 1703, aged 15.[3]
Trelawny was involved in a lawsuit with his step-mother over his estate, which was resolved in 1716 to the relief of his financial problems. In May 1716, the bishop consented to the marriage between his daughter and nephew which took place on 17 July 1716.[4] In 1756, at the age of 68, he succeeded his cousin Sir John Trelawny, 4th Baronet in the baronetcy.[2]
Trelawny died in April 1762, aged 75. He had a son, who predeceased him and three daughters of whom Laetitia married her cousin William. The baronetcy and Trelawne House passed to William, his nephew and son-in-law.[2]
