About Elizabeth Powell

  • Colonial And Revolutionary Families Of Pennsylvania By John W. Jordan

  • Einion, born probably about 1450, descended in the male line from Callwyn ap Tagno, Lord of Llyn who bor arms, a chevron inter three fleur-de-lys, had:
  • Gronwy ap Einion, born about 1480, who had:
  • Howell ap Gronwy, who had:
  • David ap Howell, of the township of Llwyngwrill, Comôt of Talybont, Merionethshire, Wales, whose "ancient capital messuage" in that township, called Llwyn-du, was derived through a female line from Ednowen ap Bradwen, who flourished about 1137, and bore arms, gules, three snakes, nowed; and who was lord of nearly all the Comôt of Talybont. Though the extant pedigrees do not show just where the marriage in the line of Callwyn ap Tagno, Lord of Llyn, with the heiress of the line of Ednowen ap Bradwen, came in, yet Llwyn-du was "an indefeasible estate of inheritance" therefore David ap Howell could only have obtained it as a descendant of Ednowen ap Bradwen. David was born about 1540, and married Mary, daughter of Hugh ap John, of Taly Llyn, a parish (now) in the union of Dôlgelly, in the Comôt of Estimaner, Merionethshire, eight miles southwest of Dôlgelly town.
  • Hugh ap John was the son of John ap Merdith ap David, ap Ievan ap Llewelyn ap Einion (of Llwdiarth in Montgomeryshire, mentioned in grant of 7 Henry V) ap Celynin ap Ririd ap Cynddelw ap Ierworth ap Gwrgeney ap Uchdryd ap Aleth, Prince of Dyfed. Mary, the wife of David ap Howell, was also descended through various alliances of the above line, from Meuric ap Ynyr Vychan, Lord of Nannau, living 21 Edward III. (A. D. 1347-8), who in turn was descended from Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince of Powys (murdered in 1072), by his second wife, Isabel, daughter of Picot de Say, a Norman Baron; as well as from other noble families of Wales.
  • Hugh ap David, of Llwyngwrill, son of David ap Howell and Mary his wife, married Catharine, daughter of John ap Rhydderch, of Abergynolwyn, whose family appears to be traceable to 1400 or earlier. Hugh and Catharine had issue,
  • Humphrey ap Hugh (their eldest son), of Llwngwrill, who signed the marriage settlement of his daughter Anne, January 1, 1649, she marrying Ellis Price, and they were the parents of Rowland Ellis, of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, born 1650, a noted settler in the Welsh Tract, some account of whom and his descendants is given elsewhere in these volumes.
  • Humphrey ap Hugh was living at Llwyndu in 1662, and died there about 1664, having married, about 1625, Elizabeth, daughter of John ap Howell Goch, of Gadfa, in Llanwddyn, Montgomeryshire, who was buried in Llanwddyn Church, July 24, 1636. Elizabeth's mother was Sybill, daughter of Hugh Gwynn, of Penarth, High Sheriff of Caernorvonshire, descended from Sir William Griffith, of Penrhyn; the Herberts of Raglan, and from King Edward I, of England. The wife of Hugh Gwynn was Jane, daughter of Owen ap Hugh of Bodeon in Anglesey, High Sheriff of Anglesey, 1579-80, who died in 1613; descended from Meuric ap Llewelyn ap Halkin of Bodeon, 8th in descent from Hava, son of Kundhelw, Lord of Cwmwd Lhivon, living 1150. Humphrey ap Hugh and his wife Elizabeth had among other issue :
  • Owen Humphrey, eldest son and heir, born about 1625, died prior to 1699. He is said to have been an officer under Cromwell and he certainly served as a Justice for Merionethshire under the Protectorate. He was among the first in Wales to join the Society of Friends, and his name frequently occurs in Besse's Sufferings of Friends. In 1662, having with his brother Samuel, "refused to pay a demand for tithes" he was prosecuted in the
  • https://archive.org/stream/colonialrevoluti00jord#page/387/mode/1up
  • Sheriff's Court and execution was awarded against him by which his cattle were seized. After his father's decease in 1664 or 1665, he became seized of the "ancient demesne lands of Llwyn-du" and deeded therefrom a lot of ground for a burial place for Friends. Owen Humphrey, having been heavily fined, it is believed that he left little personal estate, in fact what little money he had remaining he lent freely to Friends going to Pennsylvania. He is believed to have been twice married but all of his seven children were by his first wife, name unknown, among whom were, Rebecca, wife of Robert Owen, of Merion, Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania, the progenitor of the Owen family of Philadelphia, an account of which is given elsewhere in these pages; and Joshua Owen, before mentioned, of Burlington county, New Jersey, who married Martha Shinn.
