Children Confusion

Prepared by: Stuart Awbrey 26 Nov 2022

Bartrum’s Chart for Hopkin: lists William (first born and heir) and Thomas of Cantref on the same line and coded “14” indicating same generation. It lists two wives for William - his first in generation 14 and his second in 15: (1) Mawd ferch Philip, (2) Jane ferch Sir Richard Herbert. The children are coded "(1)" or "(2)" to show who was their mother. (See Aubrey 4, attached.)

Under William coded “1” are:

unnamed daughter who married Hywell ap Gwilym

Joan who married unknown Taylor of London

Magred who married John ap Dd Lloyd

Morgan who married Crisli ferch Roger

Also under William coded “2” are:

Janet

John who married Gwenllian of Tos ap John

Richard of Abercynrig (known first born and heir of William)

William D.C.L. (also known son of William)

The Baronetage of England by John Debrett, published 1824

The Baronetage of England, see pages 137-43: lists the family but there are errors and inconsistencies which make it not reliable. Also, only lists sons (Jenkin, Thomas, Morgan, Willimus, and Wilfimus).

Aubrey/Awbrey Dominion and Decline by Jon Awbrey provides a reasonable list of children but the cited source is incorrect. Aubrey/Awbrey Dominion and Decline by Jon Awbrey, see page 11:

William

Jenkin

Thomas

John of London

Feliece who married John Herbert of Llangonydd

Margaret who married Henry Powell of Reeding

Jenet who married John ap Roger Vaughan of Cathedine

unnamed daughter who married Thomas John

unnamed daughter who married Walter Thomas

unnamed daughter who married Owen ap Sir Rhys ap Thomas
