• Notes

  OWEN AP EVAN, of Fron Goch1, near Bala, in the comot of Penllyn, third son of Evan Robert Lewis, was born probably prior to his father's removal from Rhiwlas, which event may have occurred subsequent to 1636. Owen ap Evan died at Fron Goch prior to 6th of First-month, 1678. From records extant it appears that .his wife's name was Gainor John2, and that she was living and signed the marriage settlement and marriage certificate of her son, Robert Owen, 6th of First-month, and 11th day of the same, 1678, but appears to have died 14 December of the same year, and was buried at Llanfor church, the 16th, not, apparently, being in membership with Friends. Owen and Gainor had issue, five children: 1. Robert, b. circa 1657; m - Rebecca Owen. 2. Owen, supposed to have d. s.p. 3. Evan, who remained in Wales. 4. Jane, m. Hugh Roberts. 5. Ellin, m. Cadwalader Thomas ap Hugh. "Owen ap Evan had several brothers (see charts), of whom John ap Evan was father of William John, of Gwynedd, and of Griffith John, of Merion, early settlers in Pennsylvania. Further on it will be noticed that Robert Owen in his will mentions his "cousin Griffith John," thus confirming the account given in the old manuscript from which the above statement is partly taken. Evan ap Evan, another son of Evan Robert Lewis, was father of the Evans brothers who settled at Gwynedd. The children of Griffith John called themselves " Griffiths," and those of William, "Williams." The descendants of Owen ap Evan assumed the surname of Owen. 2 She is supposed to have been the daughter of John Lloyd, Esquire, of Gwern y Brychdwn, in the township of Nant y Friar (see another page), and if so, was baptized in Llandderfel church, 13 September, 1629.
