Rowland Pugh was born about 1520 and died in 1602. He married Eleanor Purcell. He sat for the Parliament for Montgomery Boroughs in 1572 and 1586.
The first paragraph of the Biography of Rowland Pugh c1579 -1644, states he is the grandson of Rowland Pugh, father of Richard Pugh. It also states that Rowland Pugh the elder 'sat for Montgomery Boroughs in 1572, and 1586' and that Rowland Pugh the elder died in 1602, outliving his son Richard [1]
He appears in a pedigree of Pughe, of Mathavarn, in Cyveilog, reaching back to biblical Adam, presented by Lewys Dwnn. The pedigree illustrates the fondness of the Welsh for pedigrees as well as the difficulty of determining at what point the pedigree moves from history to legend. [2]
The pedigree also appears in a work by the Powys-land Club.[3]
The complete pedigree is presented and discussed at Space: John Pughe's Descent from Adam
