2 Year of marriage estimated from the baptismal entry in the Trawsfynydd Parish Register for baptisms (BTs) for Griffith's and Jane's eldest daughter, Margaret: Margaretta filia Griffini Rob'ts et Jana (late 1689, day and month illegible). Margaret Roberts was named as a beneficiary in the Will of her grandmother Margaret Lloyd of Rhiwgoch (written 1691).

3 The son and heir of John Lewis of Rhiw, Gent., Maurice Lewis, married Griffith's daughter Elizabeth. Their only child, Jane Lewis, is named in Griffith's Will. Jane's mother, Elizabeth Roberts, is not named in his Will, and was therefore most likely deceased. John Lewis's daughter, Anne Lewis, married Griffith's kinsman Robert Wynne of Llanbedr, Clerk. Robert's father, Robert Wynne of Maes-y-Neuadd, Esq., is named as 'cousin' in the Will of Griffith's maternal grandfather, Evan Lloyd of Rhiwgoch.

Son-in-law Griffith Price of Corsgarnedd was the husband of his daughter Catherine.
