teulu TURBERVILLE Crickhowell, The genealogies are confused and contradictory; that given in Theophilus Jones, History of the County of Brecknock, mixes them up with the Coity family in Glamorgan, and with some English branches. Sir John Edward Lloyd supports Theophilus Jones in the theory that there is no evidence for the statement that the Burghills preceded the Turbervilles at Crickhowell. ROBERT TURBERVILLE appears as a
TURNER, SHARON (1768 - 1847), solicitor and historian 13223C, NLW MS 13224B); he also corresponded with John Hughes of Brecon (1776 - 1843), praising the work of the latter.
TURNOR, DAVID (1751? - 1799), cleric and agriculturist son of John Turnor of Crug-mawr, Llangoedmor, Cardiganshire (died 1775), by his wife Margaret Gyon of Ffynnon Coranau, Pembrokeshire. He was educated at Oxford (matriculated from Christ Church, 22 May 1767, aged 16, B.A. 1771, M.A. of Cambridge), and ordained deacon, 7 March 1773, and priest, 21 September 1774. He served the curacy of Penrhyn and Betws Evan, Cardiganshire, and was chaplain to the
TWISLETON, GEORGE (1618 - 1667), officer in the parliamentary army third son of John Twisleton of Barley Hall, Yorkshire. He served under general Mytton; took part in the siege and capture of Denbigh castle, whereof he was made governor in 1647. Shortly afterwards he married Mary Glyn, daughter and heiress of William Glyn of Lleuar,, Caernarfonshire, and great-great-granddaughter of William Glyn ' the Sergeant ' (see the article Glyn of Glynllifon). Twisleton
VALENTINE, LEWIS EDWARD (1893 - 1986), Baptist minister, author and Welsh nationalist study Semitic languages under Professor Thomas Witton Davies (see the DWB article by Valentine himself), and Welsh under Professor John Morris-Jones. He had already begun preaching in 1912, and his intention was to become a minister after graduating. But his studies were interrupted by the First World War, and having joined the college OTC, in January 1916 he enlisted in the Royal Army Medical Corps
teulu VAUGHAN Golden Grove, The Vaughans of Golden Grove claimed descent from Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, prince of Powys. The first member of the family to settle at Golden Grove was JOHN VAUGHAN. His son, WALTER VAUGHAN married (1) Katherine, second daughter of Gruffydd ap Rhys of Dinefwr (see Rice family), and (2) Letitia, daughter of Sir John Perrot. He was succeeded by his eldest son JOHN VAUGHAN (1572 - 1634), M.P. Politics
teulu VAUGHAN Hergest, Kington an allusion by Guto'r Glyn, believed that he fell in a preliminary skirmish on Monday, 23 (recte 24) July. From Lewis Glyn Cothi's elegies upon his death it could be argued that he fell in the main battle on the 26th, and there was a tradition in the family in the time of Dr. John David Rhys that he, and not Sir Richard Herbert, was the hero of that battle. His body was brought home for burial at
teulu VAUGHAN Llwydiarth, from Edward de Charleton, lord of Powys, dated 7 Henry V. The family is not mentioned by Lewis Glyn Cothi, and presumably was not powerful before Tudor times. The Vaughans appear to have been constantly at feud with the Herberts, which may explain why they provided no members of parliament for Montgomeryshire, and only one sheriff, JOHN ab OWEN VAUGHAN (in 1583); he married Dorothy, daughter of
teulu VAUGHAN Tretower Court, of the others: the Vaughans of Gelli-gaer from Lewis, the Vaughans of Cathedine from Roger, the Vaughans of Merthyr Tydfil from William, and the Vaughans of Coedkernew from John. One of the illegitimate children, Thomas, was long a prisoner in France; ' Sir ' Philip Emlyn wrote a cywydd on his imprisonment, and Edward IV granted £40 from the customs of the port of Bristol towards his ransom, 28
teulu VAUGHAN Corsygedol, , the poet, who made him a present of his works.' (See also James Howell in Epistolae Ho-Elianae). His son RICHARD VAUGHAN (died 1636) became well known in London as the abnormally stout Member of Parliament for Merioneth. He married Anne, daughter of John Owen, Clenennau. WILLIAM VAUGHAN (died 1669) their son married Anne, daughter of the house of Nannau, and thus united two families which had
teulu VAUGHAN Bredwardine, Gorred. At least fifteen children are ascribed to him. Mention must be made of the second son, WILLIAM VAUGHAN of Rhydhelig, of whom Dr. John David Rhys reports that a family tradition maintained that it was he who slew the earl of Warwick when the kingmaker was stealthily escaping from Barnet field, 1471. He was regarded as a champion in the field of battle with no one to equal him, after the death of
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
