John, Edward Griffith’s older brother, who had died in 1624, in the parish of Clunbury in the Diocese of Hereford, where he, like his uncle Richard Pengriffin of Walton West, was a cleric. Clunbury is not far away from the parishes of Bedstone and Bucknell. His will, dated February 1, 1623/24, revealed he was unmarried and had no children. He left his estate to his nieces and nephews, including the children of his late brother Edward, as well as the children of his sisters Joan and Katherine.
