NEUADD GLYNHAFREN AND DOLBACHOG.
(Dunn, i, 302. Harl. MS., 1973. Add. MS., 9864.)

[blocks in formation]

The pedigree of this family does not afford any reason for coupling these two residences, situated some six miles apart, together. Glyn Hafren, afterwards the residence of the Ingrams, is situated in the valley of the Severn, about three miles to the west of Llanidloes, Dolbachog, about eight miles to the north-west of the town, in the parish of Trefeglwys.

The early portion of this pedigree has already appeared in Chapter VI of the Parochial Account of Llangurig; it will, therefore, only need tracing here from

"Ricus Ingram", who is styled of Llanidloes on the Grand Jury list, 3 Charles I (1627), appears as Ricus Ingram de Glynhavren, gent., on the Grand Jury list, 13 Charles I (1637), from which it appears that he acquired property in Glyn-Hafren between the years 1627-37. His descendants lived at Neuadd GlynHafren until the early part of the present century.

1 In the short pedigree headed "Llanidloes", which follows that of Dolgwenith, I omitted to state that the John ab David who was alive in 1599, was Mayor of Llanidloes 36th, 39th, and 40th Elizabeth. From information received from the Rev. John Davies, M.A., David ab John had a son John, who assumed the surname of Jones, and is probably the gentleman who filled the offices of High Constable of the hundred of Llanidloes, 14 Charles I, and mayor of the borough in 16th Charles I; 5th, 6th, and 16th Charles II. He married Lowry Pryce, and had a son, Henry Jones, who was alive in the year 1698.

This ancient family, now extinct in the male line, lived, up to the commencement of the present century, at the old family mansion of Glyn Clywedog, or, as it is more generally named, "The Glyn", from which they appear to have taken their surname. It has for several years past been converted into a farm-house, being pleasantly situated about two miles to the northwest of the town of Llanidloes, on a knoll overlooking the river Clywedog. Within the memory of persons still living, there existed in the old residence relics which indicated the comforts and luxuries which the family were accustomed to. The main entrance was through a wide pointed arch, in which hung a massive door, and the rooms were wainscoted, and ornamented with beautiful oak carvings, traces of which are yet to be seen. A small organ, family pictures, and all the valuable movable articles, have been removed to Peny lan.

The Glynns, or Glynnes, claimed descent from Aleth, Prince of Dyfed or Dimitia (Cardiganshire, Pembrokeshire, and Carmarthenshire), who bore azure, three cocks, argent, crested and wattled or. He married

Owen, of whom presently; 2. Einion Distain; 3. Cynddelw, who was the grandfather of Celynin (who bore sable a he-goat argent), founder of the family of Vaughans of Llwydiarth, from a younger branch of which family is descended J. P. Davis, Esq., of Maesmawr, Llandinam, High Sheriff in 1869.

Owen Foel is termed of Pencellau, in Arwystli. He married Janet, daughter of Ieuan ab Meredydd, of Foelgoch, in the parish of Tregynon (sable, three horses' heads erased, argent), and was the father of Philip of Arwystli, who married Eva, daughter of Howel, and sister of Meredydd ab Howel-Goch, and had issue

1 There is an error in Dunn (i, 311) where the wife of Jenkyn is said to be Jane, daughter of Evan Meredith. She was the wife of his son Maurice, whose name Dwnn omits in the tabulated pedigree.
