1 The first appearance of Jenkyn Lloyd of Berthllwyd on the roll of magistrates. He was the son of David Lloyd ap Jenkyn of Berthllwyd, sheriff in 1574 and 1587, by his wife Lowry, daughter of Owen Gwyn ap Llewelyn of Llanidloes. He himself had been sheriff in 1588, and appears as fourth juror on the grand jury of this year. He married Dorothy, daughter of Edmond Walter of Ludlow, one of the Council of the Marches, by whom he had Sir Edward Lloyd, knight, of Berthllwyd (Lewys Dwnn, vol. i, p. 311). 2 The first appearance of Lewis Blayney, of Gregynog, on the roll of magistrates. He was the son of David Lloyd Blayney, sheriff in 1577 and 1585, by his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Lewis Gwyn, or Lewis Jones according to Burke's Peerage, of Bishop's Castle, descended from Einion Sais. Edward Blayney, the brother of Lewis Blayney, held a command in the army of Ireland, and for distinguished services was, in 1621, created Baron Blayney of Monaghan, in the peerage of Ireland, and was the ancestor of Cadwalader Davis Blayney, twelfth and present Baron Blayney, of Blayney Castle, co. of Monaghan. Lewys Blaney married Bridget, daughter of John Price of Newtown, sheriff in 1566, and was the father of John Blayney of Gregynog, sheriff in 1630 and 1643 (see Key Chart to the Tribe of Brochwel Ysgithrog, Mont. Col., vol. ii, p. 211).

3 This is the last appearance of Robert Middleton of Middleton, in the parish of Chirbury, on the roll of magistrates for the county of Montgomery. 4 The first appearance of Charles Lloyd of Leighton on the roll of magistrates. As " Carolus Lloyd de Leighton, gen."; he was first Juror at the Assizes, 31 Eliz.

1 This Oliver Lloyd was the eldest son of Roger ap John Lloyd of Leighton. "David Lloyd ap Roger (ap John Lloyd of Leighton in the countie of Mountgomerye ap David Lloyd ap Sir Griffith Vaughan, Knight"), the "second sonne" of Roger, entered his pedigree at the Heralds' Visitation, 1623. "Robert Owen, Deputie to the Heralds for Salop and Stafford," made the entry of the latter, as well as that of his funeral certificate, the same year, thus: "David Lloyd ap Roger of the towne of Shrewsburie in the countie of Salop, gent., deceased the xxixth daye of June, and was buried the ii day of July, 1623, beinge Wensday, in the parish church of St. Chadd in Shrewsburye aforesaid, his wyffe Catherine (daughter of John Price of Denbighshire) his sole executrix" (Harl. MS., 1396). "David Lloyd was Bailiff of Salop in 1575, 1586, and 1594. His arms ("s. three nags' beads erased, arg.") identify him with David Lloyd ap Roger, and with the person thus mentioned by the chronicler of Shrewsbury, 7 January, 1588-9. "It was the day of the sessions, and there had like to have been great hurt done through the blowing of a trumpet by Master Francis Newport's trumpeter over against Master David Lloyd's house, in which was one Master Owen Vaughan (John Owen Vaughan of Llwydiarth, sheriff in 1583) and his men, a stout gentill, between whom and Master Newport was an old grudge" (Owen and Blakeway's Hist. of Shrewsbury, vol. i, p. 390). There was a close family connection between" Master David Lloyd" and the Vaughans. Elizabeth, daughter of Roger Lloyd of Rhandir, a near kinsman of David Lloyd, had married John ap Howell Vaughan of Coedtalog, a nephew of John Owen Vaughan of Llwydiarth (Harl. MS., 1936), whose sister Elizabeth married David Lloyd of Moel-y-Garth, father of Sir Charles Lloyd, first baronet of Garth (Burke's Dormant Baronetage.

of Queen Elizabeth, was the son of Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex, and Letitia, daughter of Sir Francis Knolles, K.G. Her sister Anne married Sir Thomas Leighton, knight, brother of Sir Edward Leighion, our sheriff in 1592. Robert Earl of Essex was born at Netherwood, in the county of Hereford. He rose by the favour of the Earl of Leicester, who married his mother, and his father's widow. In 1584, he, with "divers knights and gentlemen of worshipful calling", was at Shrewsbury in the retinue of his stepfather. On the 24th March, 1584-5, it was "agreed that Mr. Bailiffs (of Shrewsbury) shall bestowe on the Earle of Essex, intendinge to passe through this towne as to-morrowe, in wine, cakes, etc., to the valewe of twenty shillings." (MS. Chronicle.) He was on his way to Wattlesborough Castle, the seat of his connexion Edward Leighton. He was beheaded within the Tower of London, 25th February, 1600-1. His grandson dying an infant, the earldom of Essex became extinct; but the viscounty of Hereford, by virtue of the entail on the heirs male, was confirmed, in 1646, to the son of his first cousin, Sir Walter Devereux, Bart., of Castle Bromwich, county of Warwick, whose line also failing, in the person of Edward Devereux, eighth Viscount Hereford in 1700, it reverted to Price Devereux, the grandson of George Devereux of Vaynor, sheriff of Montgomeryshire in 1658, son of Sir George Devereux, of Sheldon Hall, in the county of Warwick, knight, by his wife Blanche, daughter of John Ridge of Ridge, in the parish of Chirbury; and Catherine, daughter of Humphrey Lloyd of Great Hem, Forden. The line of Price Devereux of Vaynor also failing, the viscounty reverted to Edward, the grandson of Vaughan Devereux, the second son of George Devereux, above, of Sheldon Hall and Vaynor, in the county of Montgomery, which he obtained by his marriage with Bridget, daughter and heir of Arthur Price of Vaynor. Edward, Viscount Hereford, took his seat in the House of Peers 3rd April, 1750, and married Catherine, daughter of Richard Mytton of Garth, sheriff in 1730. (Collins's Peerage, vol. iv, p. 326, Ed. 1756.)

1 Edward Lord Stafford, who appears for the first time in the list of magistrates, succeeded to the barony of Caus on the death of his father, Henry Lord Stafford, who, according to the Pontesbury Register, was buried at Worthin, 6th May, 1563. The latter was the son of the unfortunate Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, attainted and beheaded in the reign of Henry VIII. Henry Lord Stafford was, however, restored to his father's barony, and to some of his estates-- Caus, Worthin, Stafford, etc.; but not to his dukedom, nor to the office of Constable of England. He solaced his privations by literature and religion", and became the patron and friend of Erasmus. Edward Lord Stafford married Isabel, daughter of Thomas Foster of Tong, by whom he had issue Edward Lord Stafford; and, in the 22nd. Eliz., had the Queen's permission to alienate the castle of Caus, he having previously (14th Eliz.) sold the manor of Worthin to Richard Powell. Such was the fluctuation in the fortunes of the great house of Stafford, Lord of Caus, and heir-general of Corbet, the Norman companion of the Conqueror. The 40th Eliz. seems to have been the last year in which they may be said to have had any interest left in the barony, when Richard Stafford sold the advowson of Worthin to Thomas Owen, gent.

1 This was the celebrated David Powel the historian. He was appointed Rector of Llanfyllin in 1571, Vicar of Meivod in 1579, and in 1584 became Chaplain to Sir Henry Sidney, Lord President of Wales, who urged him to complete Humphrey Llwyd's half-finished History of Wales.

2 The first appearance on the roll of magistrates of Richard Pugh of Mathavarn. He was the son of Rowland Pugh of Mathavarn, by Elianor, daughter of Nicholas Purcell of Dinthill, sheriff in 1553. Richard Pugh married Gaenor, daughter of Rees Thomas of Carnarvon, by whom he had Rowland Pugh, sheriff in 1609 and 1626. His widow married John ap Owen ap Howell Goch of Machynlleth. Rowland Pugh, the father of Richard Pugh, died about the 22nd Eliz., after which year his name disappears from the roll of magistrates of the county. (Lewys Dwnn, vol. i, p. 296.)

3 David Lloyd of Pool and Hope, near Leighton, forester for the county, was the fourth son of Humphrey Lloyd of Leighton, sheriff in 1541; and the brother of Oliver Lloyd of Leighton, the previous forester (Harl MS. 1982, Vis. of Salop). David Lloyd, was bailiff of Pool, with his kinsman Griffith Lloyd of Maesmawr, in the 39th Eliz.; on the roll of magistrates for the county in the 41st Eliz.; and held the Forestership until the 3rd James I, or to the year of his death. He married Elizabeth, sister of John Owen Vaughan of Llwydiarth, sheriff in 1583, by whom he had Charles Lloyd of Moel-y-Garth, in the parish of Guilsfield, on the roll of magistrates in the 23rd Charles I; a member for the county with Sir John Price of Newtown, Bart., in the Parliament of 1654-5; with Hugh Price of Gwernygo, in the Parliament of 1656-8; and member for the Boroughs (with Edward Vaughan of Llwydiarth, for the county), in the Parliament of 1658-60. (Mont. Coll., vol. ii, p. 313.) Charles Lloyd was created a Baronet 10th May, 1661, and was sheriff in 1670. (Burke's Dormant Baronetage.)

Henry Herbert, also Mayor of Caersws the previous year, was the fourth son of William Herbert of Parke, sheriff in 1547, and brother of Richard Herbert of Parke, sheriff in 1584.
