Pedigree of the Watkins family of Usk

  • NLW MS 24114G.
  • Ffeil
  • 1637

Pedigree and achievement, dated 1637, of the Watkins family of Usk, Monmouthshire, with fifty-one fully painted coats of arms, mostly impaled, apparently compiled by Walter Hopkins of Brecon.
The pedigree shows the Watkins family's descent, in four parallel lines, from Bennett Pencla[w]dd [Sir Bennet de Penclawdd], lord of Kilfigyn [Cilfeigan, near Usk], as well as Kydifor Vawr of Kilsant, Barnard Newmarch [Bernard de Neufmarché] and Iestyn ap Gwrgan[t], down to the brothers William and Thomas Watkins of Usk (both alive 1637); some collateral branches are also noted. An inscription concerning Bennett Penclawdd is inserted in a cartouche at the beginning of the pedigree, with a further inscription, mostly illegible, on the dorse. Several roundels, for the Watkins brothers's wives and immediate descendants, have been left blank; two escutcheons have been added below the last generation and then carefully erased with white paint; the roll also retains pencil markings used to sketch out the pedigree before painting. A missing individual ('Gronow Benet') has been interpolated in a later seventeenth-century hand. The pedigree is an example of 'Style 3' in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), pp. 11-12.

Hopkins, Walter, active 1621-1644

Pedigree of Francis Vaughan of Yorkshire

  • NLW MS 24125G.
  • Ffeil
  • 1591

Pedigree and achievement, 1591, of Francis Vaughan (Vychan or Vichan, d. 1597), of [Sutton-upon-Derwent], Yorkshire, compiled by Thomas Jones (Twm Siôn Cati) of Fountain Gate, Cardiganshire, and probably executed by Richard Adams 'paynter of Ludlow' (c.f. NLW Roll 226), with fifty-three fully painted coats of arms, mostly impaled and many quartered.
The pedigree is traced from 'Kradog Vraychvras, Earle off Herefourde', 'Iustyn ap Gurgan, K[ing] of Glamorgan & Morganog', 'Ryes Tewder [Rhys ap Tewdwr], King off Southwales', 'Griffith ap Kynan, King off Northwales', and 'Bleddyn ap Kynvin, Prynce off Powys', as well as from Edward I. Additional information is enclosed in twelve cartouches, mostly scattered throughout the top third of the pedigree, with one each in the bottom corners. The pedigree most closely resembles 'Style 1' in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), p. 11. Vaughan's grandfather was Thomas Vaughan of Porthaml, Talgarth, Breconshire; the family's association with Yorkshire began only with Francis's father, John, who settled there early in the reign of Elizabeth I. Francis Vaughan was chief steward of crown lands in the East Riding from 1580, High Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1594-95, and was killed in Ulster, in service to the crown, in July 1597.

Jones, Thomas, approximately 1530-approximately 1620
