From Welsh Biography Online (http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-OWEN-BOD-1545.html) :

"OWEN AP HUGH of Bodeon was quite a prominent man in Anglesey in the early age of Elizabeth, sheriff twice, and Member of Parliament in 1545 for Newborough (according to the old order). His son, the first Sir HUGH OWEN, was a man of law, and recorder of the town of Carmarthen; this position enabled him to win the hand of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of George Wirriott of Orielton in Pembroke (see Owen of Orielton ). When the Civil War broke out the attitude of the family, both in Anglesey and Pembroke, was indeterminate and non-committal; he would be a clever man who could say whether the second Sir Hugh favoured the king or the Parliament, so taciturn was he, and so close he kept his secrets."

This John Laugharne lived in the time of the Great Civil War between the Parliament and Charles I. From the first outbreak of the war he sided strongly with the Parliament, and it was his influence chiefly that made Pembroke so celebrated a stronghold for the Parliament cause. When the Earl of Carberry, the King's Lieutenant-General in West South Wales, placed garrisons in the principal strongholds in Pembrokeshire, John Laugharne "left his country habitation, and, with his whole family, a few servants excepted, betook himself to the town of Pembroke,” where his son, the afterwards celebrated Major-General Rowland Laugharne, and the Mayor of Pembroke, the afterwards celebrated Col. John Poyer, were at the head of a small body of Parliamentary adherents.
