Details of the pedigree were given to Dwnn, when he visited Corsygedol in 1588, by GRIFFITH VAUGHAN, head

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.

There is a persistent tradition that Gruffudd Vaughan was in the band of

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.
