Just found the relevant link on the site I gave :

http://www.puleston-jones.com/page22.htm

I'm not sure what cousinship I share with the site owner - I think our lines deviate circa 1700

PS - Use Griffiths Pedigrees mentioned above as they are much more easy to follow.

Not contesting or arguing with any points already made,just an observation.
At a crossroads in Shrewsbury ,the end of Pride Hill, there used to stand a memorial cross to  David  the last native Prince of Wales.
He was hanged,drawn and quartered there ,October 3 rd 1283 on the orders of Edward 1 ( Longshanks).
There was an explanatory plaque on the nearby wall.
Guess what? It was moved, away down the hill nearer the station .
Traffic congestion being the excuse.
I used to look at it and imagine a young boy but he was in his forties I now believe.
I still feel sorry it was thought necessary to move it.

I am not familiar with it all it was just that he was  named  as the “last native” prince of Wales,well according to Shrewsbury Town Council!.
So important his memorial in the place where he was executed was moved
for traffic!
How ignominious. Shame on them!

My gateway was when I traced two descendant lines from Owen Humphrey, (grandfather of the renowned harpist and composer Dafydd y Garreg Wen) to my two grandmothers. Owen is recorded in Y Gestiana as being alive in 1693.
The paternal line is via Owen’s son Humphrey Owen who married Gwen daughter of Robert Dafydd, Isalllt. Robert was the son of Dafydd Vaughan, Glasfryn who can be found in both Griffith’s Pedigrees and Professor T. Ceiri Griffith’s Achau. His lineage is well documented and can be traced back to Owain Gwynedd and beyond.
The maternal line is via Owen Humphrey’s daughter Ann Owen who married John Griffith of Tu hwnt I’r Bwlch. Fortunately, their great-grandson, Ellis Owen, Cefnmeusydd was, among many other things, a genealogist who wrote a short summary of the family tree. Since this went back to the 1500’s it was easy to tie it in with P. C, Bartrum’s work. The trail this time did not lead to O. G. but via the Lords of Nannau and beyond to the Welsh tribes. I decided to stop when I reached Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledig from the Mabinogian)(335-388). When using Bartrum one has to believe in the accuracy of the Pedigrees he studied and also suspend any disbelief in the Welsh myths and legends.

I think Griffith is more reliable than Bartrum but it is hard on the eyes!

I gave the ref early on in the thread but include it here again:
