The Thomas Blayney African link - [1]

 

Thomas Blayney married Anna Jones - an African connection

The Blayney-Percival link is frequently listed on the Internet, particularly [838], but the eldest Thomas is not linked to any known Welsh or Irish Blayney. However, from family name deductions, it is possible to postulate some candidates.
