  • (3) A cadet branch of the Pulestons of Hafod-y-wern flourished at Caernarvon for part of the 16th cent. , its founder being the son by his first marriage (to Elin , daughter of Robert Whitney), of John Puleston (‘ Hen ’) , 'Sir JOHN PULESTON (d. 1551 ), who was sheriff of Caernarvonshire , 1543-4 , Member of Parliament for Caernarvon , 1541-4 , and for Caernarvonshire , 1545-7 and 1547-51 , chamberlain of North Wales , 1547 , and constable of Caernarvon castle , 1523-51 . He m. (1) Gaynor , daughter of Robert ap Meredydd ap Hwlcyn Llwyd of Glynllifon' , and (2) Sioned , daughter of Meredydd ap Ieuan ap Robert , of Cesail Gyfarch and Gwydir . From HUGH PULESTON , his son by his second wife, who m. Margaret , daughter and heiress of Hugh Lloyd , of Llwynycnotiau , near Wrexham , were descended the Pulestons of that place. There is evidence that the Rev. EDWARD PULESTON (d. 1621/2 ), second son of this Hugh , who became rector of Burton Latimer, Northants , in 1592 , and ultimately inherited Llwynycnotiau from his childless elder brother, was a confidant of captain John Salisbury of Rûg (see Salusbury of Rûg ), one of the principal conspirators in the Essex revolt of 1601 ; while his younger brother, RICHARD PULESTON , had served under the captain in Ireland . On the death, without issue, March 1677/8 , of Edward 's grandson, JOHN PULESTON , Llwynycnotiau came into possession of his wife's brother, Simon Thelwall , of Plas-y-ward (see Thelwall of Plas-y-ward ), by virtue of a settlement made in 1672 .

  • GLYN (also GLYNNE ) , family of Glynllifon , Caerns. Traditionally the family was derived from Cilmin Droed-ddu , who settled in the place after his flight from his native Cumbria in the 9th cent. , and historically from Tudur Goch who for war services under Edward III obtained a grant of escheat lands in Nantlle . By his marriage with Morfudd , another descendant of Cilmin , he obtained Glynllifon , which became the chief seat of his descendants. HWLKIN LLOYD , Tudur 's son, held the town of Caernarvon for the king under William de Tranmere in 1403 , and d. the following year. MEREDYDD LLOYD , his son, was bailiff of Uwch Gwyrfai in 1413-15 , and accompanied some forces sent to protect Guernsey in 1456 . The next heir, ROBERT AP [d. c. 1509 ] was twice m., each wife being a member of English families who administered Gwynedd for the English kings . The first wife was Ellen Bulkeley of Beaumaris , and by her Robert had six sons and four daughters. Two of these sons were prominent clerics in the early Tudor period— MORUS GLYN , LL.D. [d. 1525 ], was archdeacon of Merioneth , and WILLIAM GLYN , LL.D. [d. 1557 ], archdeacon of Anglesey . Robert ap Meredydd 's second wife was Jane Puleston of Caernarvon , and the issue of their marriage was known as WILLIAM GLYNNE the Sergeant [of Arms , temp . Hy. VIII], whose son WILLIAM GLYNNE [ fl. 1588 ] m. Lowry , the heiress of Lleuar , and founded the house of the Glynnes of Lleuar . Upon the death of Robert ap Meredydd his estates were divided between two of his sons: EDMUND LLOYD obtained Glynllifon , and RICHARD AP [d. 1539 ] got Plas Newydd and Nantlle . Richard became the head of the family known as Glynns of Plas Newydd and Nantlle . Edmund Lloyd was sheriff of Caernarvonshire , but he d. during his year of office ( 1541 ).
