GWYNN of llandisillio Pembrokeshire Wales
"My name
is Gwynn. The earliest I have researched on my family is 1712 when
one Morgan Gwynn was born to Daniel Gwynn... a vintner of llandisillio
Wales. He was plebed by the people into Jesus College but never finished.
He later - 1743 - shows in Westminster, Marylebone, England where
he marries one Martha Clarke and purchases a coffee house from John
Henley on Bruten Mews, Berkeley Square. He signs his name a clerk
of holy orders but did not show such within the church of England.
He paid five pound tax for each child born and went to St. George
Hanover Square. In 1749 he became a wine merchant and died in 1786
as such with possesions in Huntingdonshire. I have his will. His son
- Morgan Gwynn - born in 1746 married one Maria Vanderlinde in 1771
at St Marylebone and the first children were baptised at St George
Hanover and St James Clerkenwell. His son Charles Morgan Gwynn Married
Mary Fuller and moved to Birmungham where the family was raised. His
son Charles William Henry Married Sarah Partridge from the area and
they has Charles Morgan who married Lydia Brown of Browns stone quarry
of married Helen Webster of Iron River Alberta, Canada. Charles homesteaded
in 1928. What I cannot seem to find is the connection from Wales to
America. I know there were plagues and civil wars as well as the Babtist/
Quaker movement at this time - 1680 through 1700 - and many Gwynns
moved to Pennsylvania as well as other areas. But do you have any
info which may connect any American Gwynns to Cardigan - Llandisillio,
Dogshmel, Havorfordwest areas. Me thinks if we can make a connection
we may well be able to hook the English lines with the American ones.
I have read the house of Gwydir and it does explain the differences
between Wynn and Gwynn. Let me know." -- Roy Gwynn - Email: m_gwynn@lycos.com
