of John Tudyr Prydydd; 2, Margaret Piers, wife of William Griffith of Wyddgrig; 3, Elizabeth, wife of Davydd ab Evan ab Robert ab Evan ab Ithel; 4, Jonet, wife of Davids ab Griffith; 5, Grace, wife of William ab Thomas of Bodfary.

Davydd of the Cwm, eldest son of Rhys ab Cynric, married Margaret, daughter of Robert de la Wood of Goedon by Elizabeth, daughter of Piers Stanley, and had issue,—1, Jonet, wife of Gordderch Robert ab Meredydd; 2, Margaret, wife of John Trevor; 3, Roger, who, by Catherine, daughter of Ythel ab Gruffudd ab Gwyn, was father of Griffith of the Cwm, who married Elen, daughter of Thomas ab Wyn ab John ab Rotri, and had issue a daughter, Rose, who was wife of Roger Brereton of Haughton, ab Roger ab Sir Roger, and they had issue two daughters,-1, Nest, sole heiress, second wife of Llewellyn Vychan; and 2, Jonet, wife of Davydd ab Goronwy. Rys ab Cynric married, 2ndly, Mabli, daughter of Davydd ab Rhys ab Evan ab Llewellyn Ddu, and had issue by her a daughter, Anne, wife of Evan ab Llewellyn, and a son Gruffudd, who married Catherine, daughter of John Salsbury of Vychymbyd, and had issue,-1, Gregory; 2, Jonet, wife of Gregory ab Jenkin; 3, Gwen. Of whom, the son Gregory married Catherine, heiress of Piers Conway, Archdeacon of Llanelwe, and parson of Llaneurgain, by whom he had issue,-1, Piers Gerony, of whom presently; 2, Harry, who, by Jonet, daughter and heiress of Thomas ab William ab Ithel of Dyserth, had issue Harry, who married Jonet, daughter of Ffowke Middleton; 3, Griffith Lloyd, who, by Jane, daughter of Robert Gethin ab Morris, had a son Thomas; 4, Margaret, wife of Robert Wyn ab John ab Rhys; 5, Anne, wife of Rhys Wyn ab Howel of Vodeugan.

Llan Asaph; 3, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Hughes of Whitfford; 4, Gray, wife of Thomas Cynric; 5, Jane, wife of Robert ab Rainallt; and 6, Lowrie, wife of William Speiser.

But to return. Rotpert, eldest son and heir of Iorwerth ab Ririd ab Iorworth, married Adles, daughter of Ythel Vychan ab Ythel Lloyd ab Ythel Gam ab Meredydd ab Uchtred ab Edwyn of Tegaingl; her mother being Adles, sole heiress of Richard (who married Agnes, daughter of Gwyn ab Eignion ab Colwyn), son of Cadwaladr, lord of Ceredigion, and died 1172, younger son of Gruffudd ab Cynan, last King of Wales. By this match Rotpert had issue,-1st, Ithel, Archdeacon of Tegaingl, s. p. ; 2nd, Cynric, of whom presently; 3, Llewellyn ab Robert ab Blethin ab Robert Goch, whose daughter Margaret married Evan Gwillim ab Madoc Kyffin. Is not this a mistake? It ought to have been put under the former descent; but I follow the MS. 4. Margaret, wife of Madoc ab Grono Vychan ab Grono ab Ednyvet Vychan. 5. Llewen, wife, 1stly, of Howell Guinnen; 2ndly, of Rotpert ab Gruffudd. 6. Tanglwystl, wife of Cynric ab Evan ab Gruffudd ab Madoc Ddu, descended from Edwyn. 7. Angharad, wife of Cynric ab Blethin Lloyd. 8. Marred, wife of Evan Gethin ab Madoc Kyffin. 9. Iorwerth, father of Dafydd, father of Ienkin, father, by a daughter of Grono ab Gwyn ab Grono Sais of Ythell, who, by Jonet, heiress of Evan Ddu ab Cynric ab Griffith, had issue, Catherine, wife of Benet ab Davydd ab Llewellyn Vychan ab Llewellyn Goch. The son and heir, Cynric ab Rotpert, married twice; by his second wife, Angharad, daughter of Gruffudd Vychan ab Gruffudd ab Davydd Goch, he had a daughter Gwerll, wife, 1stly, of Tamos ab Madoc o' Eyton; 2ndly, of Iorwerth ab Einion ab Gruffudd ab Llewin, 1137. His first wife was Angharad, daughter of Madoc Lloyd of Bryncunallt, ab Iorwerth Voel ab Iorwerth Vychan, descended from Tudor Trevor (for the ancestry of this line, see Archæologia Cambrensis for January 1874, p. 38; also History of Llan

gurig, by E. Hamer and H. W. Lloyd, Esqrs., p. 241); and her mother was Margaret, daughter of Llewellyn (by Susannah, daughter and coheir of Llewellyn Madoc ab Einion ab Ririd of Ial, descended from Uchtred ab Edwyn of Tegaingl), who was son of Ieuaf (ab Adda ab Awr ab Ieuaf ab Cuhelyn of Trevor) by Margaret or Tanglwystl, daughter of Madoc ab Cynwrig Vychan, whose mother was Margaret, daughter of Howell, lord of Burton and Llai, son of Moreiddig, lord of Burton, by Tanglwystl, daughter of Cadwgan ab Cadwaladr, second son of Gruffudd ab Cynan, King of Wales. Moreiddig was the son of Sanddef Hardd, whose wife was Angharad, the only daughter and heiress of Gruffudd ab Cadwgan of Nannau, by Angharad, the only daughter and heiress of Davydd ab Owain Gwynedd, Prince of Wales, and his wife Emma Plantagenet, sister of Henry II of England. By his first wife, Angharad, Cynric ab Rotpert was father of—1, Ithel Vychan, of whom presently; 2, Davydd, who married Nest, sole heiress of Meuric Lloyd of Nane; 3, Rhys o' Yow y mynydd, who married Gwerll, daughter of Eden ab Gruffudd o' Sontli, and had issue, Llenew, wife of Howell ab Meredydd. The eldest son,

Ithel Vychan, married Angharad, heiress of Robin ab Dafydd ab Howell ab Dafydd ab Gruffudd, ab Caradoc, descended from Owain Gwynedd (1 and 4, vert, three eagles displayed in fess or; 2 and 3, gules, three lions. passant guardant argent. By this match Ithel Vychan was father of-1, Cynric; and 2, Davydd, of whom hereafter. Ithel Vychan was of Northop and Holt by right of his wife. The eldest son,

Cynric ab Ithel Vychan, married Tanglwystl, heiress of Gruffudd Lloyd ab Davydd ab Meredydd ab Gruffudd ab Llewellyn ab Meilr ab Conan (other authorities say he married a daughter of Gruffudd ab Davydd ab Meredydd ab Rhys), and was by her father of-1, John; 2, Rhys (N.B., after this name in the MS. are inserted Hugh, Robert, Thomas, Sir Edd., Roger, Rich., Pyers, probably other sons of Cynric); 3, Harry. Of the eldest

presently. The second, Rhys, was father of Hugh, who by Jonet, heiress of Robin ab John ab Ienkin, was father of-1, Elen, wife of Morgan ab Thomas; 2, Anne, wife of John ab Harry ab Griffith Howel ab Ydai; and 3, Edward, who was father of-1, Piers, whose son, Edward Piers of Plasyn (Llanhasse?),married a daughter of Harry Chambers, and had issue an heiress, who married Hughes; 2, Thomas, who had a son, William Hughes; and 3, William, who also left issue. The third son of Cynric, viz., Harry, married, 1stly, Alis, daughter of Simon Thelwall ab Davydd, and had issue, Elis, who married Margaret, daughter of John aer Conwy ab John Hên. By this match he had, 1stly, a son Hugh, who by Llowry, daughter of William Meredydd ab Davydd ab Einion Vychan, was father of a daughter and heiress, Alis, wife of John Middleton Vychan; and secondly, four daughters,-Jonet, wife of Richard, person, Gwyn; Alis, wife of Madoc ab Hugh o Demeirchion; Elizabeth; and Catherine, wife of Elis John Davydd ab Griffith o' Ysceiviog.

The page of the MS. ends here, and the following page commences, as below, by John, who seems to be intended to be indicated as the son of Elis ab Harry. John married Catherine, heiress of Ithel ab Ienkin ab Davydd ab Howell ab Einion ab Edwyn, and had issue,--1, Sir John vic Caerwys; 2, Elis; 3, Griffith, father of Robert, father of John Wyn Caerwys, father of John Wyn Griffiths; 4, Howel, who married Jane, daughter of Thomas Griffith ab John Griffith o Pant y Llongdu, by whom he was father of John of Gladlow in Ysceiviog, who married Jane, heiress of Rhys Wyn ab Howel of Bwlch coed y Mynydd, and by her was father of Rych Wyn, who by Mary, daughter of John (Hayt) ab John ab William, had a son, John Wyn of Gledlow, who married Barbara, daughter of Robert Lloyd, parson, of Halkin; 5, Maryd, wife of Thomas ab Elis ab Davydd ab John o (ffanallt ?); 6, Alis, wife of John ab Benet ab Griffith o Ysceiviog; 7, Tibot, wife of Ievan Lloyd (o Maerdu ?) ab Rich ab Elisau ab Grif

fith; 8, Mallt, wife of ... Baker of Croes Oswallt; 9, Jonet, wife of Robert ab Gruffudd Lloyd o Ragad; 10, Gwen, wife of, 1stly, Howell Davydd ab Rhys ab Griffith ab Howell o Wen Ossyllt; 2ndly, of John Davydd Griffith o Garneddwen. Harry ab Cynric married, 2ndly, Margaret, daughter of Gruffudd ab Rhys ab Davydd ab Howell, by whom he had issue a son and three daughters,-1, Mary, wife of Thomas ab Edd ab Ithel; 2, Jonet, wife of Meredydd ab Tydyr ab Evan Lloyd; 3, Gwerwyl, wife of Elis ab Rhys o Chwitfford. The son Thomas married twice,-1stly, Elen, daughter of Howel Vychan ab Howel o Lwydiarth; 2ndly, Mallt, daughter of Iwna ab Ithel ab Madoc ab Einion. By the first wife he had issue a daughter, Catherine, wife of Robert Wynn ab Thomas Griffith, and had two sons, —1, Harry Parry, Esq., of Basingwerck, who married, 1stly, Margaret, daughter of Ienkin Hanmer, and 2ndly, Catherine, daughter of William Moyston; 2, Benet o Berth y Maen, father, by Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh ab Thomas Mwynd o Pant yn Esceiviog, of a son Hugh, husband of Margaret, daughter of Harry Pennant of Vagillt, and by her father of Thomas Parry, who married a daughter of John Pennant o Dwnning.

John, the eldest son of Cynric ab Ithel Vychan, married Margaret, daughter of yr Hen John aer Conway. There is probably a mistake here, for other pedigrees give his wife as Sionet, daughter of John Conway of Bodrhyddan, who was son of this John Conway by Janet, daughter of Thomas Salsberie Hên, and sister of the wife of Elis ab Harry ab Cynric. John Conway, father (or more probably grandfather) of the wife of John ab Cynric, married Jonet, daughter of Edmund Stanley, son of Sir William; her mother being Angharad, daughter of Howel ab Tydyr ab Ithel Vychan of Mostyn. The father of John was Jenkin Conway, who married Margaret, daughter of Meredydd ab Howell ab Davydd ab Gruffudd, descended from Owain Gwynedd. Jenkin was son of John Conway by Annes, heiress of Sir Harry Torbois, son of Richard Conway by
