Genealogy of Rev Robert Blayney and Dr Benjamin Blayney
The Radnor, Kinsham and Evesham Blayneys
There are frequent references to a Rev Robert Blayney, Lord of Manor of Garlford married to Catherine Howard, but not appearing on any genealogy related to the Blayneys descended from Evan Blayney (1370-1430) of Tregynon, also
|
The Kinsham, Herefordshire Blayneys
|
It is stated in Sir Thomas Phillips's "Glamorganshire Pedigrees", that one Howel, the son of David, married a daughter of "Mirick ap Evan ap Jenkin, of Blaen Llyfni, gent.", and that their son Evan, took Blayne as his surname. His descendants became "Blayney", and their residence was Kinsham, near Presteign(e) [667]. 1 Hoell BLAENE [226] or How O'ER BLAENAU [239] of Radnor or Hoewell ap Jenkin, gent of Blaen Llyfni (5Km west of Tretower). [Blaen Llyfni means source of the Llynfi, and the castle is on the source of the Avon Llynfi] Could the name Blayney for this family derive from Blaen? Unknown parents but we do know that there was an Ievan Blaenau (Blayney) working as a Forester for "Hirthowel" (Rhyddhywel on the Radnor Montgomery border) for 1392-3 [226]. It has been assumed that this Forester was the same as Evan Blayney (1370-1430) of Tregynon but he is close enough to have been the ancestor of Hoell of Radnor and were it not for DNA evidence to the contrary, could well have fathered both lines!! + Maud verch William ap THOMAS, dau of Sir William ap Thomas, (1401-1446) and Gladys GAM (dau. of Sir David Gam) and sister of Sir William HERBERT, who was created 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423-1469) for his support for the Duke of York, but lost his head when captured in 1469 by "Warwick the King Maker" This is another connection with the Gregynog Blayneys as Maud's brother, Sir Richard HERBERT was the ancestor of Elizabeth LLOYD who married John BLAYNEY Esq of Gregynog b.1591; d.1665. 2 Matthew GOCH ap Hoell His grand-daughter Wenllian married Hugh David Lewis, ancestors of the Lewis family of Harpton, Old Radnor 2 Cadogan ap Hoell BLAENE 2 Meredith ap Hoell + Marged verch Morus ab Owen ap Jevan Blaene [=intermarriage between the "unrelated" Blayney families] [226] 3 Edward ap Meredith ap Hoell BLAYNEY 3 David ap Meredith ap Hoell BLAYNEY + ___ 4 John BLAYNEY ("gent, and citizen and merrchant taylor of London" in his Bill addressed to the Lord Chancellor in 1538 [226]. dsp~1547 so clearly unable to be an ancestor of the Blayney Taylors of London (my ancestors)! 3 Morgan ap Meredith + ___ 4 Ieuan VAUGHAN ap Morgan ap Meredith of Bryndraenog Beguildy, co. Radnor +(1)Jane BLAYNEY b~1579, dau of David Lloyd BLAYNEY (of Gregynog) [=intermarriage between the "unrelated" Blayney families] [226] I am postulating that a descendant of this marriage was: 5 Eleanor (Ellen) VAUGHAN of Llanfyllin dau of Evan VAUGHAN of Llanfyllin (?=Ieuan VAUGHAN) [Llanfyllin is 42 Km north of Beguildy] + Evan JONES of Llanlloddian (Llanlothian) Hall, Llanfair Caereinion (Montgomeryshire); b.1663 6 Thomas JONES of of Llanlloddian Built the Llantysilio Hall in 1734.
