L_._,;......,,.,. •• -- GENEALOGICAL NOTES RELATING TO THE FAMILIES OF Lloyd, Pemberton, Hutchinson, Hudson and Parke. PREFACE. THE following genealogical notes, relating chiefly to the families of Lloyd, Pemberton, Hutchinson, Hudson and Parke were first compiled, in July, 1849, by James P. Parke, and copied and added to, in 1877, by Townsend Ward, now deceased, then Librarian of the Historical Society of Penn­ sylvania. The sources of genealogical information at that time open to the student of family history, as compared with the present day, were insignificant, and it is a matter of surprise that with such scant material at hand so valu­ able a record was made. Mr. Ward states in his preface that the information regarding the Lloyd family was "mostly from a document sent by Francis Lloyd of Bjrmingham [England], on Sep­ tember 29, 1826, to Joseph P. Norris, of Philadelphia, and which it is said was compiled from authentic records by Charles Lloyd the second [ of Dolobran], dated 1670." The other data were gathered in much the same way, by laborious research, from family archives. Since 1877 vast numbers of records in England, Wales and Pennsylvania have been unearthed, transcribed and printed, and rare books, once obtainable only in England, have been placed on the shelves of the Historical Society, whilst the valuable collections of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania have given us many church registers, and thrown open thousands of wills for inspection at our leisure. Many privately printed genealogies, also, have added to the mine of wealth for this study. These sources of information have been utilized for the present work. Additions, in some instances, have been made to the lines as given by Mr. Ward, and in other cases, where portions of the lines inserted in the Parke-Ward manuscript have been found printed in works easily acces- 6 sible to the public, they have sometimes been omitted, and in their place a reference given to the book or books in which they can be found. This is particularly so with the Welsh and English descendants of the Lloyds of Dolobran, who are now so numerous that a volume might be written about them. By this system a brief but comprehensive genealogy, combined with a genealogical index, is presented of all the descend­ ants of the families appearing on the title-page and some others, and space is saved for valuable information, not hitherto printed or at least readily accessible. Great care has been exercised in comparing names and dates, where possible, with original documents, and all statements in the original manuscripts have been carefully considered. The reader's attention, however, is called to the fact that authorities and original documents, frequently vary as to dates of births, marriages and deaths, and that transcribers and printers being human, are only capable of that degree of accuracy where the percentage of error does no harm. I ht\.ve thought well to close this tiresome but necessary introductory note with the lines quoted by Mr. Ward in the preface to his original manuscript: "Like leaves on trees the race of man is found, Now green in youth, now withering on the ground. Another race the following Spring supplies ; They fall successive; and successive rise; So generations in their course decay, So flourish these, when those are passed away." Pope's Homer, ll. 6, 180. THOMAS ALLEN GLENN. PHILADELPHIA, February 1, 1898. iLlo,ib of mololltan. 1. CELYNIN, of Llwydiarth, the first of this race who settled in Montgomeryshire, fled there after having slain, in single com bat, the Mayor of Caermarthen. His lineage from ALETH, "King," or Prince of Dyfed, is as follows: ALETH 1 had UcHDRYD, who by Mared, daughter of Cadivor Vawr, Lord of Blaen Cych, had GwRGENEY, who by Ales, daugh­ ter of Goronwy ap Einion, had lERWER'rH, who by Eva, daughter of Sir Aron ap Rees, had CYND- DELW, who by Jane, daughter of Gorwa­ reth, of Kemmes, had RIRID, who by Gwaldus,2 daughter of Richard, Lord of Dinas Certhin, had the above CELYNIN. It has been sug­ gested that Celynin is probably identi­ cal with" Geilnefilio · Oheugret " [ i. e. Ce- 1ynin, son of Ririd] who appears as one Arms of Einion ap Celynin (Sable, a k-goat,passant argent, attired or) impaling the Coat of Adam ap Meyrick of the lay witnesses (Sable, three nags' heads, erased, arge·nt.)-From to the foundation panel in pew of Meivod Church. 1 Aleth bore Azure, a chevron between three cocks; Argent, which is a clif­ f erent coat from that used by his descendant, Celynin. 2 (Lewis Dwnn, vol. ii, p. 277.) But this is not accordant with the LI wydiarth pedigree in Dwnn, vol. i, p. 294. There "Gwenllian, the daugh­ ter of Meredith ap Rhyddarch ap Tewdwr Mawr, is stated to be the wife of Celynin, and" Gwla.dys," to be his mother. It is said, however, in the Salis­ bury MSS. at Wynnstay, that Gwladys, the daughter of Ririd ap Cynwrig Efell, was the mother of Celynin, and not the wife. This would account for the possession of Llwydiarth. 8 charter of the Abbey of Y strad Marchell, and although the charter itself was of a much earlier date, yet the time of exe­ cution of the testing clause, to which the name is appended, would correspond with Celynin's date. How Celynin acquired Llwydiarth, from his mother or by marriage, is still a mooted question. The authority of the express statement of Lewis Dwnn that Celynin married "Gwladus v. aeres Ririd ap Cynwrig Evell ag a ga vas Llwydiarth Ymhowys "(and obtained Llwydiarth in Powys), can, we think, be safely relied upon ; and to reconcile it with the statement elsewhere, made by the same Herald, that Celynin married " Gwenllian v' Meredith ap Rhydderch ap Tewdwr Mawr," it may be assumed that he married twice: (1) Gwenllian and (2) Gwladys. Celynin, after his flight to Montgomeryshire, became steward to Charleton, Lord Powys. His eldest son and heir was : II. E1NION AP CELYNIN, of Llwydiarth. John de Charleton, Lord of Powys, granted unto this Einion, by the designation of "Anian ap Kelynnin," on the Thursday after the Decollation of St. John the Baptist., 14 Edward III. [1340], Weston in the Ville of Pennayrth, in Glas Meynoc. He 1narried the daughter of Adda ap Meyric, Rector of Meifod,1 a descendant of Brochwel Ysgythrog, and by her had a son who succeeded him, by name: III. LLEWELYN AP ErNION, of Llwydiarth. He is mentioned in a grant dated 7 May, 7 Henry V., whereby Edward de Charleton,Lord Powys,pardoned his (Llewelyn's) grandson, Gryffith ap Jenkin ap Llewelyn for complicity in the rebellion of Owen Glendower. He married " Lleuca, the daughter of Griffith ap Eden" (Edneved), Lloid, styled "'relicte dicti Llewelyn" in the above grant. They had three sons: 1 The correctness of this statement has been questioned. See Monig. Coll., vol. xiv, p. 370, and the objections there raised answered in the same publi­ cation. Upon a careful examination of the facts in the case, there seems to be no good reason for questioning it. 9 1. Jenkin ap Llewelyn, 1 styled in the same above men­ tioned grant "Jenkin ap Llewelyn, filii predicti Llewelyn et Leuca patris Grrijfini," and ancestor of the Tal y Lyn branch, Merionethshire. 2. Ievan ap Llewelyn. 3. David ap Llewelyn, of Dolobran, of whom presently. Llewelyn gave to his son, David, Dolobran and Coedcowrid. IV. DAVID AP LLEWELYN married twice; by his first wife, Mary, the daughter of Griffith Goch, Esq., he had a son, OWEN, who was ancestor of the Vaughans, of Glascoed, and whose second son was probably DAVID AP OWEN, Abbot of Y strad Marchell, and afterwards Bishop of St. Asaph, who died about 1512, and whose monument was in the Cathedral of St. Asaph. David ap Llewelyn married for his second wife, Medisis, daughter of Griffith Deuddwr, Esq., of the Tribe of Brochwel Y sgythrog. He was suc­ ceeded by his eldest son : V. !EVAN TEG (or the Handsome), of Dolobran. He married Maud, daughter of Evan Blayney, of Castle Blay­ ney in Ireland, and had a son : 1 JENKIN AP LLEWELYN AP E1NION, of Llwydiarth, married Gwenevor,. daughter of Ievan Gethin ap Madog Cyfin, and had: DAVID AP JENKIN, who married Janet, daughter of Ievan Goch ap Ievan Vaughan ap Ievan ap Iorwerth ap Adda, of Dolgoch, and had: MEREDITH AP DAVID, who married Maud, daughter of Meredith ap Griffith Derwas, of N annau (see pedigree of Rowland Ellis), and had: JOHN AP l\'IEREDITH, who married Gwenllian, daughter of Ednyvet ap David ap Howell ap Einion ( possibly of the line of Ednowain ap Bradwen) and had: HUGH AP JOHN, of Tal y Lyn (a parish in the hundred-or Comot-of Estimaner, Merionethshire, about eight miles southwest of Dolgelly) and had: MARY VERCH HUGH, who married DAVID ' AP HOWELL, of Llwyngwrill, Merionethshire. Her mother was Catherine, daughter of Rhys ap David ap Ievan ap Jackws ap David ap Ievan. David ap I-Iowell had HUGH AP DAVID, who, by Catherine, of Abergynolwyn, had: HUMPHREY .AP Huon, of Llwyn-clu, who, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Powel, of Llanwddyn, had~ OWEN HUMPHREY, of Llwyn-du, ancestor to the Humphreys, Owen, Ellis and other families of Pennsylvania.
