Other records referred to in the compilation of this article were, deed to
him for his land in Pennsylvania, he being described therein as
"of Brin Mawr, in the County of Merioneth, gentleman"; assignment, in
trust, dated after 1717, he being then of Plymouth, Pennsylvania,
gentleman, reciting transactions with Humphrey Owen, of Llwyndu (in
Llwyngrill), and Lewis Owen, of Tyddyn y Garreg, concerning certain loans
on bonds.
There are also several testimonials of him by Friends who knew him both in
his native country and in Pennsylvania. Some of these are embodied in the
sketch of his life which we reprint in this article. The old pedigree
above described having been found to agree in the essential points with
the Herald's, visitations made out 1585-1601, and with parish registers
and other documents remaining in Wales, it is a comparatively easy task
for one versed in Welsh genealogy to give a detailed account of the
ancestry of Rowland Ellis, who, as we have seen, was the son of Ellis
Price, son of Rees ap Lewis ap John Griffith, of Nannau.
Tytbyn Bryn Mawr, in Merionethshire, appears to have anciently formed a
part of the Nannau Estate, which was the earlhurch. The family from
whence Rowland Ellis sprang was of princely lineage, descending in the
direct male line from Bleddyn, the son of Cynfyn, who was Prince of Powys,
and was so imprudent as to get himself murdered by the amiable "gentlemen
of Ystrad Tywy" in the year 1702. This Prince, in defiance to the advice
of his countrymen, married Isabel, daughter of Picot de Say, a Norman
Knight, and had by her a son called Cadwgan, " the renowned Briton," who,
besides being Lord of Ystrad Tywy in Cardigan, was also Lord of Nannau, in
Merionethshire. Cadwgan also fell by the dagger of the assassin, and was
succeeded, as Lord of Nannau, by a long line of notable descendants.
As we will give particulars concerning each generation in the chart
pedigree on another page of this article, it is only necessary here to
mention a few of the most prominent members of this old family.
One of these early Lords of Nannau was Meuric ap Ynyr Vychan, who was
living in the 21st year of Edw. III (I347-8). In ths the tomb of this
Lord. It is a sepulchral effigy in mail and plate armor, having a shield
on his breast, on which is carved a lion, and the stone bears this
inscription : "Hic Jacet Meuric Filius Ynyr Vachan.'' The effigy formerly
stood in the aisle; but was afterward set in the wall under a memorial
window of more recent date. Meuric(4) was succeeded by his son Meuric
Lloyd, who was father to Howell, of Nannau. commonly called Howell Sele.
(4)The father of this Meuric (Ynyr Vychan), appears to have been a very violent man even for the age in which he lived. In the
Parliament of 15 and 16 Edward II (1322-3) he and others were charged with attacking, on the next Wednesday after the
feast of St. Gregory, in the 15th of that king, the Castle of John de Grey, of Ruthen, setting fire to the town and killing two men.
possessions of Rowland Ellis's ancestors, many of whom lie buried in D
JOHN EVANS(1), of Gwynedd, eldest son of Cadwalader, descended from Trahairn Goch, of Llyn, born in Denbighshire,
Wales, 1689, died at Gwynedd, 9th mo. 23, 1756, married ELEANOR, daughter of Rowland Ellis, of Merion, at Merion
Meeting-house, 4th mo. 8, 1715. ELEANOR, born at Bryn Mawr, Merionethshire, Wales, 1685, died 4th mo. 29, 1769.
JOHN was a celebrated preacher among Friends. His will, dated 9th mo. 16, 1756, was proved June 22, 1757. He leaves to
his daughter, Jane Hubbs, a life interest with remainder to her children, in a lot of 2 1/2 acres, "part of the tract of 100 acres
which I hold, to be laid out for her the west side of Montgomery road, adjoining George Maris's field.'' He gives his daughters,
Margaret, Ellen, and Elizabeth l0 acres, ''to be divided off the upper end, next Owen Evans's land.'' He mentions his sons
Rowland and John, and appoints them with
his son Cadwalader executors.
: one of the four brothers
who settled at Gwynedd in 1698. For their genealogy in the direct male line, see Owen Family, another page. Cadwalader
Evans, who died at Gwynedd, where he lived, near his brothers, Robert and Owen Evans, married in Wales, Ellen, daughter of
John Morris, of Bryn Gwyn [White Hill], in Denbigbshire. Of the ancestry of her father, John Morris, we know but little, but
from an old MS. pedigree of the Owen and Evan families, in the handwriting of Cadwalader Evans, third, we ascertain that her
mother was Eleanor, daughter of Ellis ap William, of Cai Fadog. Her descent was as follows : Cadwgan, Lord of Nannau had
Madog, who had Einion, of Ciltalgarth (Azure, a bow and arrow, point downward, argent), who had Madog Hyddgam, of
Ciltalgarth (Kiltalgarth), who Cadwgan, who had Madog, of Ciltalgarth, who had Ievan, surnamed "y Cott" who had Ievan
Fychan, of Ciltalgarth, who had Madog, who had David, who had Thomas ap David, who had Hugh ap Thomas, of
Ciltalgarth, who had William ap Hugh, of Ciltalgarth, who had Ellis Williams, of Cai Fadog, who had two daughters : Eleanor,
who married John Morris, of Bryn Gwyn, and had Ellen, who married Cadwalader Evan ; and Gwen, who married Hugh ap
Cadwalader, and had Eleanor, who became the wife of Edward Foulke of Gwynedd.
