Gruffyd ap Ievan ap Owen of Abergydolwyn

  Research Notes:

From the book Reifsnyder-Gillam Ancestry, Edited by Thomas Allen Glenn at the request of Howard Reifsnyder, privately printed, Philadelphia, 1902, provided by http://books.google.com, pp. 45-46:

"Rhydderch ap John, of Abergydolwyn, living 1583, was a son of John ap Gruffyd, of Abergydolwyn, grantee in a deed 1 February, 1553, and living 1583, son of Gruffyd ap Ievan [footnote 5], of Abergydolwyn, grantee in a deed 1516, living 1550, son of Ievan ap Owen, of Abergydolwyn, which Owen was born about 1430. Nothing further is known concerning the ancestry of the Abergydolwyn family."

Footnote 5, p. 45:
"Gruffydd is the Welsh form of Griffith; as the name is so spelled in the original deeds it is not changed. Rowland Ellis, in his pedigree of 1697, uses the Welsh form of spelling throughout. In Dwnn's visitations both forms are used. In the same manner Humphrey is often written Humffrey, etc. Note that Rowland Ellis in his pedigree of 1697, calls Catherine daughter of "Sion ap Rhydderch," i.e., John ap Rhydderch, which, however, is clearly a clerical error, as Sion ap Rhydderch was her brother."

Gruffyd married.
