Hi In does anyone know please what book they are referring to in the text below .About the pedigree of Wynston of Trewyn .
(Part ii. 242, ped. of family
of Wynston of Trewyn mentioning Thomas Sitsyllt of Alltyrynys, 'A quo Cecil of Alltyrynys')
Seisyll, Seisyllt, Cecil
In Part iv. 98. Portskewet there is a Cycill Griffyth in the record
of tenants of the barony 1569; but the most important examples are
connected with the family of Alltyrynys: Part ii. 242, ped. of family
of Wynston of Trewyn mentioning Thomas Sitsyllt of Alltyrynys, 'A quo
Cecil of Alltyrynys'; and on p. 242 is the evidence for the belief
that the great Cecil families of England came from this source. P.
245 'The name of Cecil is not extinct in the county. More than one
labouring man can be found with this surname, and in the parish of
Welsh Newton near Monmouth, is a most respectable family of farmers
named Cecil, who assert their claim to be considered kinsfolk of the
noble family in England. [T.E. Morris p.108 gives a pedigree,
starting with 'Gilbert Winston . . . ', then four generations of
Sitsilt, leading to 'William Cecil, Baron of Burley . . .'. The
following information is added: 'Boswell, a writer on Armoury, states
that he had seen the names Sitsilt and Sitsylt "in documents in the
possession of the Right Honourable the Lord of Burghly, to whom in
blood the same belongeth, whose name being written Cecil at this day"
(1572), and he adds that the original home of the Cecils, "Alterynnis
remaineth near Abervanny".']
