TWISLETON, GEORGE (1618 - 1667), officer in the parliamentary army TWISLETON, married Margaret, daughter of William Griffith of Cefn Amwlch, and was justice of the peace for the county, as well as the sheriff in 1682-3. He died 26 December 1714. He was followed in the estate by his son GEORGE TWISLETON, who married Barbara Jackson, London (died 22 December 1732), whose daughter Mary married captain William Ridsdale of Ripon, who was killed at the battle of Dettingen
teulu VAUGHAN Courtfield, (afterwards Herbert) of Treowen and Llanarth, Powell of Perth-hir, Hughes of Cillwch, and Morgan of Arkstone. As the descent of the family is given in genealogical works, e.g. Burke's Landed Gentry, mention of some members only is called for in this account. In 1562 JOHN AP GWILYM of Gillow, Herefordshire, purchased the manor of Welsh Bicknor. His daughter and heiress, Sibylla, became the wife of JAMES
teulu VAUGHAN Pant Glas, the mansion disappeared a long time ago but the 'chapel of Pant Glas ' in the parish church retains its name). The family belongs to the same stock as those of Plas Iolyn, Voelas, Cernioge, and Rhiwlas; the genealogy is to be found in J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 44, where, however, it is incomplete and incorrect. THOMAS VAUGHAN (I) was the grandson of Rhys ap Meredydd of Ysbyty Ifan, and was the
teulu VAUGHAN Corsygedol, The pedigree of this illustrious North Wales family as given by Lewis Dwnn, deputy-herald-at-arms, and by other genealogists, begins (normally) with the union of Osbwrn Wyddel and the daughter and heiress of the old Welsh family of Corsygedol, this daughter being a ward of Llywelyn the Great. Details of the pedigree were given to Dwnn, when he visited Corsygedol in 1588, by GRIFFITH VAUGHAN, head
teulu VAUGHAN Porthaml, , and was dead before 25 September 1514, when those offices were granted to Sir Griffith ap Rice. His wife was Joan, daughter of Robert Whitney by Constance, daughter of James, lord Audley. The Vaughans of Tregunter descended from his second son, Thomas Vaughan. The heir, WATKIN VAUGHAN, married Joan, daughter of Ieuan Gwilym Vaughan of White Peyton. The family became prominent with his heir, WILLIAM
VAUGHAN, Sir GRUFFUDD (bu farw 1447), soldier Owain Glyn Dŵr. Later in life this Gruffudd held a position under the lords of Stafford at Caus castle, and at that period Lewis Glyn Cothi addressed an ode to him. It is difficult to accept a statement by Lewis Dwnn (Visitations, i, 312) that ' Sr. Griffith Vaughan of Gwenwys Kt.' was a burgess of Welshpool on 7 June 1406. There is a persistent tradition that Gruffudd Vaughan was in the band of

He married Arabella Philipps of Picton Castle, and was thus a brother-in-law to Griffith Jones, Llanddowror.
VAUGHAN, ROBERT (1592? - 1667), antiquary, collector of the famous Hengwrt library , that he spent some time at Oswestry. The date of his marriage to Catherine (1594 - 1663), daughter of Griffith Nanney (born 1568) is not known, but he was living at Gwengraig in 1624 and it is likely that he settled at Hengwrt soon after his marriage. Between 1608 and 1612 Hengwrt had been mortgaged by Robert Owen to his brother-in-law, Howell Vaughan. Robert Vaughan was on the commission of the

He was a descendant (see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 3) of the Vaughan family of Llwydiarth in Montgomeryshire, and it appears that it was his grandfather, of the same name as himself, who was the first of the family to live at Caer-gai (B.M. Harl. MS. 1973). He spent some time at
teulu VINCENT This notable clerical family, connected by birth and marriage with numerous landed and clerical families in Gwynedd, sprang from the Corbets of Ynys-y-maengwyn (says J. E.
