      • PHILIP MANSELL, son of John Maunsell and Cecily, his wife, was 15 years of age when he succeeded to his father's and grandfather's estates, as per Inquisition held at Swansea by Humphry Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, 13th Henry VI. About 1444, he married, first, Mabel, dau. of Griffiths Nicolas, of Newton, Co. Caermarthen, heiress of her mother, Jane, heiress of Jenkin ap Rees ap David, descended from Cadifor ap Dinawall. In the Inquisition recorded above, Philip is mentioned as the son of John, and grandson of Richard Maunsell.

By a deed dated 1459-60, to which Sir Wm. Berkeley, Knt., then Seneschal of Gower, and others are witnesses, he entailed his Gower estates on his sons, John, Leonard, and Jenkyn.
