His mother was Gwladys, daughter of Dafydd Gam.

His wife was Ellen
teulu VAUGHAN Llwydiarth, Howell Vaughan of Glan-llyn, and sister of John Vaughan, who was sheriff of Merioneth in 1594. The son of the sheriff of Montgomeryshire, OWEN, married Catherine, daughter of Morrice ap Robert, heir of Llangedwyn, by whom he had two sons, JOHN (Inner Temple, 1606) and Sir ROBERT, who married Catherine, daughter of William, 1st lord Powis.
