William Aubrey

Spurious Pedigree Conflict

~•! Most genealogies have it other than the following"

"It will be noted that the inscription on William Aubrey's tombstone says that he was the son of
Thomas Aubrey, and not of William who was the prior Lord of the Manor .

The facts are that all of the children of Richard's first son, William, died before becoming of age, except Elizabeth, who was illegitimate, so he adopted her and then married her to his nephew, William, son of his brother, Thomas, in 1646, when both were under age, so as to secure the succession to Llanelyw. A lawsuit by the legitimate line followed, but it was settled so that William remained Lord of the Manor. For first cousins they did pretty well, having ten children. I wonder why there are not two bar sinisters on the Aubrey Coat-of-Arms. Both William and Elizabeth became members of the Society of Friends.
