GWYNN of llandisillio Pembrokeshire Wales

Vol 5, Iss 15 llandisillio, Wales - "My name is Gwynn. The earliest I have researched on my family is 1712 when one Morgan Gwynn was born to Daniel Gwynn... a vintner of llandisillio Wales. He was plebed by the people into Jesus College but never finished.

He later - 1743 - shows in Westminster, Marylebone, England where he marries one Martha Clarke and purchases a coffee house from John Henley on Bruten Mews, Berkeley Square. He signs his name a clerk of holy orders but did not show such within the church of England.

He paid five pound tax for each child born and went to St. George Hanover Square. In 1749 he became a wine merchant and died in 1786 as such with possesions in Huntingdonshire. I have his will. His son - Morgan Gwynn - born in 1746 married one Maria Vanderlinde in 1771 at St Marylebone and the first children were baptised at St George Hanover and St James Clerkenwell. His son Charles Morgan Gwynn Married Mary Fuller and moved to Birmungham where the family was raised. His son Charles William Henry Married Sarah Partridge from the area and they has Charles Morgan who married Lydia Brown of Browns stone quarry of married Helen Webster of Iron River Alberta, Canada. Charles homesteaded in 1928. What I cannot seem to find is the connection from Wales to America. I know there were plagues and civil wars as well as the Babtist/ Quaker movement at this time - 1680 through 1700 - and many Gwynns moved to Pennsylvania as well as other areas. But do you have any info which may connect any American Gwynns to Cardigan - Llandisillio, Dogshmel, Havorfordwest areas. Me thinks if we can make a connection we may well be able to hook the English lines with the American ones.

I have read the house of Gwydir and it does explain the differences between Wynn and Gwynn. Let me know." -- Roy Gwynn - Email: m_gwynn@lycos.com View/Write Comments (count 0)   |   Receive updates (0 subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
