Biography

Charles Lloyd, Esq., of Dolobran, Meifod, Montgomeryshire, Wales, son and heir of John Lloyd, Gent., and Catrin (or Katherine) Wynne, was born in 1613.^[1][2]

Charles married Elizabeth Stanley, daughter of Thomas Stanley of Knockin, Shropshire.^[2] The date and place of their marriage are unknown and are estimated. They had three sons and one daughter:

• Charles,^[2] inherited Dolobran and was the ancestor of the Lloyd who founded Lloyd's Banking House in London^[3]
• John^[2] was a clerk in chancery^[3]
• Thomas,^[3] born 17 February 1640/1 in Dolobran, died 10 September 1694 in Pennsylvania, married first Mary Jones and second Patience Gardiner^[2]
• Elizabeth, wife of Harry Parry^[2][3]

He was at some point a magistrate for Montgomeryshire.^[3] Charles had emblazoned on a panel at Dolobran his coat-of-arms with fifteen quarterings, impaled with the arms of his wife, Elizabeth.^[3]

"A drawing of [the coat of arms] was sent to the family in this country when the panel was taken down, and is as good evidence of ancestry in the female line as we could well have of any person living two centuries ago. On this shield the first, or paternal, arms are az. a chevron between three cocks ar.-those of the Princes of Dyfed, of whom Aleth, the sixteenth generation back of Thomas Lloyd of Pennsylvania, was living in the XIth Century, and the earliest of the line whose name is given was Meirig, said to have lived five centuries earlier. These arms are differenced by a crescent, to denote that the Dolobran Lloyds descended from a second son. To follow up all the quarterings, and show Lloyd 's descent from those who bore the various arms, would lead us through a labyrinth of Welsh names suggesting nothing to the reader. Suffice it to say that some of the arms appear to have been those borne by the Poles,or ancient male line of lords of Powys the Cherletons, Greys, and Kynastons, thus corroborating the pedigree given above."^[4]

Charles was buried 17 August 1657 in Meifod, Montgomeryshire, leaving a will dated 17 June 1651.^[2]

Research Notes

Douglas Richardson states that Charles built a Quaker meeting house near Dolobran Hall in about 1660.^[2] This was after his death. Richardson seems to have confused the Charles of this profile with his son, Charles, who became a Quaker.

Charles is named in Magna Carta Ancestry, vol. I, pages 425-432, CHERLETON, in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Thomas Lloyd to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger Bigod that was badged by the Magna Carta Project on 18 December 2021. The Project has also identified an alternate trail to the Bigods along with trails to several other surety barons, including:

• William de Mowbray, badged by the Project on 18 December 2021
• Robert de Vere, badged by the Project on 24 December 2021
• Henry de Bohun, badged by the Project on 31 December 2021.
• the following Barons, where the trails were identified and reviewed by the Project in 2015 and require re-development to bring them up to current project standards:
  • John de Lacy
  • Saher de Quincy
  • Gilbert de Clare
  • Richard de Clare

See these trails, with a list of profiles within the trails and their status in the Magna Carta Trails section of Thomas Lloyd's profile.
