  General Notes:

13 x great-grandfather

  Research Notes:

Fourth son of Morys ap John ap Maredudd, of Rhiwaedog, who claimed descent from Owain Gwynedd, born about 1500.

Robert ap Morris alias Robert Anwyl (c.1500-76) settled on the Parc estate in the parish of Llanfrothen (Merioneths). Robert built the first house at Parc and perhaps laid out the garden overlooked by a viewing tower, which was a clear mark of high status, despite the simple nature of the buildings.

He was described as “a man of retiring disposition, benevolent to his neighbours, devoted to local pursuits rather than to public life” by the contemporary poet, William Llyn. His elder son took the name Anwyl but his younger sons adopted the surname Roberts. 2

  Marriage Information:

Robert married Lowry ferch Lewys, daughter of Lewys ab Ieuan. (Lowry ferch Lewys was born in Pengwern, Ffestiniog, Merioneth, Wales.)
