It seemed to me that the genealogy referred to there possibly inserted a generation compared to my listing of that of Theophilus Jones,but I think this may be resolved below.The trouble is getting a confident handle on anybody's dates to lend credibility to the view.
There is a common start point assuming John Powell Madoc is John ap Howell ap Madoc
Your latest texts say that his great grandson,Thomas Madock,married the daughter of Jenkin Morgan,so we need to identify a son,grandson and great grandson.
The son appears to be Thomas ap John ap Howell ap Madoc as per the 1533 will quoted.Wife is not quoted,but other data suggests she is the daughter of John ap Madoc.This is the most difficult part as there appears a possible merging of two Madoc lines.The first daughter Gwladus surely doesn't(?) indicate that this is the Thomas who married Gwladys daughter of David Watkin as per the Llanansntffraed church memorial(various quotes from previous thread circa 1607-1618)
In looking for the grandson the natural inclination is to take the John Thomas from this will.I can't reconcile him with anyone,but I noticed on the church memorial (after "Thomas Madock m.a d. John Madoc"),it said Llewelyn m.and had issue ....Thomas Maddocks.Lord of Llanfrynach,m.a d. Jenkin Morgan.There is a son Llewelyn listed in the 1533 will.
This means the succession is I think:-
John ap Howell ap Madoc
Thomas ap John ap Howell ap Madoc(1533 will)-son
Llewelyn(ap Thomas ap John ap Howell ap) Madoc -grandson
Thomas Maddocks(marries daughter of Jenkin Morgan)-great grandson
