Cadwalader Glynn, who married Margaret, daughter of Jenkyn ab Evan of Berthloyd, Mayor of Llanidloes in 1566, and was the father of

Morgan Glynn, who was born about the year 1550, as appears from a deposition made by him in the suit of Owen v. Price and Purcell, in the year 1574, when the deponent stated that he was about 24 years old. (Mont. Coll. iii, 33.) In 1578 he, together with his uncle, David Lloyd Jenkyn, of Berthloyd, and Richard Herbert, were appointed attorneys for the Earl of Leicester, in the Manor of Arwystli. (Ibid. iii, 35.) His name appears on a jury list, 29th Eliz. (1586), but his first appearance on the roll of magistrates does not occur till the 43rd Eliz. (1600), or fourteen years later; his name also appears on George Owen's list of twentythree gentlemen of the county, which was compiled in the year 1602; and it appears frequently on the Grand Jury lists in the reign of James I up to the year 1613, about which time he probably died.

He married Jane, daughter of John ab Hugh of Mathafarn and his wife Catharine, daughter of Sir Richard Herbert, Knt., of Montgomery, and had issue

wystli Iscoed from Sir William Owen. In 1628 he filled the office of sheriff; and in 1632 and 1633 we find that he still held the appointment of chief steward of a portion of the manor of Arwystli, under his influential relative, Sir Edward Lloyd, Knt. (Mont. Coll., iii, 38). He was buried at Llanidloes, May 7th, 1643.1

Mr. Glynn was thrice married; first, to Catherine, daughter of Edward Fox of Ludford, Esq., sheriff 1617. She was buried at Llanidloes in the year 1615.

Secondly, to Jane, daughter of Jenkyn Lloyd of Berthloyd, who was buried at Llanidloes 1635. By her he had issue: Edward Glynn; a daughter married to Richard Pryce of Kerry; and Ursula, born 1631, married to Andrew Owen of Gelly dowyll (grandson of Maurice Owen of Rhiw Saeson, sheriff 1612), and mother of Rondle Owen of Gelly dowyll.

Thirdly, to Susan, daughter of David Powel of Weston (Dunn, i, 311); but, according to the Weston pedigree (Dunn, i, 331), sister of David Powel. She was the widow of Adam Pryce of Kerry (son to the sheriff in 1614) by whom she had a son, Richard Pryce, who married Margaret, a daughter of Mr. Glynn by his second wife (Harl. MS., 1936).

Edward Glynn succeeded his father at Glyn Clywedog. His name appears first on the Grand Jury list 13th Charles II (1661).

Mr. Glynn married Mary, daughter and heir of Evan Lloyd, Esq., of Plas Duon in Carno, and thus acquired the property situated in the parish of Llanwnog, which is still in possession of the family. He was the father of

Evan Glynn, who succeeded him at Glyn Clywedog. He was in the commission of peace, and served the office of sheriff in 1675. About the year 1680 he came in contact, in his official capacity, with some of the

followers of Richard Davies, the Quaker. The incident is thus related by Davies :

Having a meeting in this country near Llanidloes, they (James Halliday and Thomas Ellis) were taken prisoners and fined by Evan Glyn, a justice of the peace, and sent here (Welshpool). I was very much concerned for James Halliday, that he should be stopped in these parts and hindered of his service. So next morning, about two of the clock, I took horse, and went to this justice's father-in-law, Justice Devereux, and found him at a village three miles from Welshpool. He asked me what was the matter? I told him that his sonin-law Glyn had committed some of our friends to prison to Welshpool, and fined them also; and I told him, I thought by the law, that no man was to suffer twice for the same supposed transgression. He gave his son-in-law hard language, and desired me to see some way to get them off. I went to a neighbouring justice, and got James Halliday a discharge, and brought it with me that morning; so we hastened away with a guide towards Holyhead, and I was informed he had a good and quick passage, and got in time to the half-year's meeting in Ireland, as he intended.

"For Thomas Ellis, and the rest of the Friends, the jailor took our words that they should be forthcoming at the next quarter sessions, at which time Charles Lloyd and myself attended the Court, and went to the clerk of the peace, and desired him to call our friends first, which he did. The friends being all at the bar, no prosecutor appearing against them (Justice Glyn being not then come to town), they were soon discharged, without demanding any fees; and after the Friends had refreshed themselves in town, they went homewards, some of them towards Radnorshire; and those that went towards Llanidloes met Justice Glyn, who had committed them, going towards the quarter sessions. He spoke to them, and they told him they were discharged. He seemed not to be sorry for it, for he was not a persecutor in the bottom, but was put on by a peevish, proud, informing priest, and I know not that ever he did the like again."1

Mr. Glynn married Mary, daughter of George Devereux and his wife Bridget, daughter and heir of Arthur Pryce of Vaynor, by whom he had issue: Edward, and Elizabeth, who married her cousin Arthur, son of 1 Life of Richard Davies, 7th ed., p. 96.

The following entry in the Llanidloes Register probably refers to him :-" Evan Glyn of Glyn, Armiger, was buried April 27th, 1703."

From the benefaction table in Llanidloes Church, it appears that Evan Glynn of Glyn, Esq., left by will the sum of £2 12s. per annum to the poor of the parish. We have no means of knowing whether it was the sheriff of 1675 or his grandfather that made the bequest.

Edward Glynn succeeded his father at Glyn Clywedog, was sheriff in 1736; married, Mary daughter of Rees [? Pryce] Clunn of Middle Glandulas, near Llanidloes, and had issue Bridget (whose descendants will be noticed presently), and
