Rev Henry Powell of Llandrillo d.1582
« on: Monday 30 November 20 19:24 GMT (UK) »
Dear all,

I am trying to find some information about Henry Powell who was Rector of Llandrillo, Merionethshire 1557-82 and who in his will in 1582 had property in Merionethshire, Denbighshire and Flintshire (so obviously from a wealthy family!).

He was 'absent studying at Oxford' in 1560 and graduated with BCL in 1565 (but no record of his parentage in the Alumni Oxonienses), and was appointed chaplain to the Earl of Arundel in 1560.

His executor was John Powell a kinsman who lived in the Llandrillo area too - other than that no other leads locally.

I wondered if he was related to Powells of Kelystryn (in Dwnn's visitations vol 2 p 311) but can't find anything and hoping someone will be able to find something!

Thanks
A
