teulu PARRY Madryn, Llŷn Madryn was not the original home of the Parrys. The first of the family in Wales was GEOFFREY PARRY (died 24 April 1658), an officer in the Parliamentary army, a zealous Puritan who hailed from Paston in Salop, and married one of the daughters of Cefn Llanfair in Llŷn (J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 224); their son was the first LOVE PARRY (1654 - 1707) - there were as many as six of the name in the
PARRY, BLANCHE (1508? - 1590) Morgans of Gwent and Ewias and Ystradyw intermarried with the Parrys. On the other hand, there seems little ground for thinking that the conspirator William Parry, who was executed in 1585, was of this family. Nor, again, are the arms of bishop Richard Parry of S. Asaph satisfactory proof of his kinship with the family - to the contrary, see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 387. And there is not the slightest
PARRY, GRIFFITH (1827 - 1901), Calvinistic Methodist minister, and author Born at Caernarvon in December 1827; his mother was sister to Robert Owen (Eryron Gwyllt Walia) and a niece of the famous Calvinistic Methodist preachers Robert Roberts of Clynnog and John Roberts of Llangwm - appropriately enough, Parry was to edit the poems of Robert Owen and the sermons of Robert Roberts. He went to Bala C.M. College (1847-1851), and began preaching. In 1851, while continuing
PARRY, RICHARD (Gwalchmai; 1803 - 1897), Independent minister, poet, and man of letters himself joined the Independents and began to preach in their chapels. In 1836 he was ordained as joint minister (with Robert Roberts of Treban) at Bryngwran; in 1838 he left to take charge of the churches at Henryd and Conway, where he remained for ten years. In 1848 he went to Llandovery, but he does not seem to have been happy there, and in 1850 he returned to North Wales and settled at Ffestiniog
PARRY, SARAH WINIFRED (1870 - 1953), writer, and editor of Cymru'r Plant from 1908 to 1912 Born 20 May 1870, daughter of Hugh Thomas (1841 -?) and Margaret Parry (née Roberts). The family lived in Welshpool at the time of her birth, but left when she was but a few months old. At one time, her father was an inspector with an insurance company but he is said to have had literary interests also. Her mother published some poems in the strict metres under the pseudonym ' Gwenfron ' (e.g
PARRY, THOMAS (bu farw 1709), minister with the Particular Baptists friendship with Vavasor Powell, but they do not rest on very good evidence. He is said also to have acted as pastor of the Baptists of north Breeknock and western Radnor, but it must be remembered that most of them were Arminians, and that Parry was a strict Calvinist. He is hardly ever referred to without a tag of verse comparing him most favourably as a preacher with Alexander Griffith, vicar of Glasbury.
PARRY, WILLIAM (1719 - 1775?), civil servant, secretary of the first Cymmrodorion Society Born in 1719, fourth son of John Parry of Gwredog, Anglesey (of the family of Pen-dref, Rhodogeidio, near Llannerch-y-medd - see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 346), and his wife, Elizabeth (Thomas), of Trefor in Llansadwrn. The Morris brothers call him 'kinsman' (câr); proof of such relationship has not been found, but it is odd how closely Parry's fortunes (in the period during which we know
PARRY-WILLIAMS, Sir THOMAS HERBERT (1887 - 1975), author and scholar , the first to achieve such a result. He graduated in Latin (second class) a year later. At Aberystwyth he also won the main literary prizes at the college eisteddfod. These early works - written in both Welsh and English - show the influence of the neo-romantic lyricism of W. J. Gruffydd and R. Silyn Roberts' Telynegion (1900). Spurred on by his mentor and Professor of Welsh at Aberystwyth, Edward

He claimed a family link with Samuel Roberts (1800-1885), the main upholder of that tradition. He recognised in W. J. Gruffydd (whom he came to know when he moved to Cardiff and became his neighbour in Rhiwbina) a kindred spirit sharing the same ideas on religion, literature
teulu PENNANT Penrhyn, Llandygâi new proprietor of Penrhyn, and would have it that these Pennants were distantly related to the ancient holders of the Llandygái lands (see Griffith family of Penrhyn), the three chamberlains and Pirs Griffith the sea-rover, through the marriage of one of them, far back, c. 1475-80, with Angharad, daughter of Gwilym ap Griffith ap Gwilym of Penrhyn; but all this does not accord very well with the
PENNANT, THOMAS (1726 - 1798), naturalist, antiquary, traveller : the Morris brothers of Anglesey (Richard, William, and Lewis), Hugh Davies, the author of Welsh Botanology, John Lloyd (1733 - 1793), rector of Caerwys, who accompanied him on all his Welsh travels ('To his great skill in the language and antiquities of our country I am myself much indebted'), Moses Griffith, a native of Bryncroes, Llyn, his faithful servant and self-taught draughtsman who travelled
teulu PERROT Haroldston, the county from 1586 to 1590. In 1586 Perrot resumed his parliamentary career when he was returned as the member for Cardiganshire in place of Griffith Lloyd of Llanllŷr whose death led to a by-election. Perrot's failure to secure the post of master of the ordnance in Ireland under his father in 1587 ensured his attention was devoted to the defence of Pembrokeshire in the event of an anticipated
