and Hendref Brys) conveyed the lordship of Yspytty to her son John Edwards, who in turn increased the family possessions by marrying Sarah, daughter of Edward Owen of Crogen Idon. The next lord of Yspytty, John Edwards (son of John and Sarah), became the son-in-law of Dean Powell of St. Asaph, and was the brother of a Sarah Edwards who married Thomas Price of Gwernhowel. The Edwards family of Gallt y Celyn (for arms see Fig. 7) are said1 to be descendants of Edwin, Lord of Englefield, who flourished about A.D. 1041, and bore-argent, Cross fleury engrailed sable inter four Cornish Choughs.

This

family ended in a John Edwards, who died, s. p., in 1771, the lordship of Yspytty then devolving upon Price Jones, grandson of the Sarah Edwards and Thomas Price above mentioned. This Price Jones was also a descendant of a junior branch of the Plas Iolyn Prices.

Reverting now to Thomas Price, son of Captain Thomas Price, this gentleman is said to have married Jane second daughter of Hugh Wynne of Berth ddu.

Her second son, Peter Price of Llaniwllun [? Llanuwchllyn], married Margaret, daughter of Rowland Vaughan of Cae'r gai, and her memorial tablet in Llanrwst Church records that her father-in-law ("Thomas Price of Plasiolun, Esq.") was interred near the Communion Table in Yspytty Church, and that she, upon being widowed after nearly 50 years of married life, survived her husband a further 16 years-"She having in her

widowhood removed herself to this Towne for being near this church for several of her latter years was a Constant Attendant on the Service of it." She died October 8th, 1710, aged 89 years. This Peter Price's elder brother, William Price, married Margaret Price of Tyfol, and their family consisted of three sons

Thomas Price, who married Anne Edwards, heiress of Talgarth, in Glyn Ceiriog, and their children were three daughters and one son, the Rev. David Price, a Carnarvonshire magistrate, residing in 1805 at Hendre Rhys Gethin, Bettws y Coed.

Peter Price, elder son of William and Margaret Price, was the father of the Thomas Price (of Gwernhowel, Fig. 8), who married Sarah Edwards, and

Thomas Price's child Sarah' was the mother of the Price Jones who (as already mentioned) succeeded to the lordship of Yspytty.
