Aubrey/Awbrey Family

Awbrey - Welsh adaptation of Norman name de Alberico, who arrived in Wales shortly after the Conquest. Records show two prominent families, the Awbreys of Abercynrig, and of Ynyscedwin. Aubrey, Obray Found on this site

Awbrey

"Genealogical Research Report" By Charles H. Hamlin

"Aubrey- This name is spelled variously by the old clerks, lawyers and ministers of the period as: "Aubry- Aubrey-Aubray-Awbry-Awbrey-Awbray-Abary- Awbury. They were not spelled by the individuals themselves."

(Richard Anderson webpage has the deClare family are descendant of Charlemagne. The DeClare do link to Charlemagne but the link with Aubrey/Awbrey family has not been proven. Richard thinks that this maybe one day proven but for now it is dream. Richard link to deClare links to late in time line for Stiant Awbery, this link should be between 1070-1150 or there abouts. Be careful with site that do not have documents to back what they say.

Here is Richard Anderson webpage.

(" **Stiant Awbrey, founder of the Aubrey family in Great Britain was " second brother to the Lord Awbrey, Earle of Bullen and Earle Marechal of France and came to England with William ye Conqueror in Anno 1066"

**Sir Rinalt Awbrey son of Stiant, married a daughter of the Earle of Clare and Priany. Reginald (Rinalt) de St. Awbrey (de Sancto Alberico)born: abt 1175 died ?.Reginald wife was Isabel of (de) Clare and their second son.

St. Almedha, though not included in the ordinary lists, is said to have been a daughter of Brychan, and sister to St. Canoc, and to have borne the name of Elevetha, Aled, or Elyned, latinised into Almedha. The Welsh genealogists say, that she suffered martyrdom on a hill near Brecknock, where a chapel was erected to her memory; and William of Worcester says she was buried at Usk. Mr. Hugh Thomas (who wrote an essay towards the history of Brecknockshire in the year 1698) speaks of the chapel as standing, though unroofed and useless, in his time; the people thereabouts call it St. Tayled. It was situated on an eminence, about a mile to the eastward of Brecknock, and about half a mile from a farm-house, formerly the mansion and residence of the Aubreys, lords of the manor of Slwch, which lordship was bestowed upon Sir Reginald Awbrey by Bernard Newmarche, in the reign of William Rufus. Some small vestiges of this building may still be traced, and an aged yew tree, with a well at its foot, marks the site near which the chapel formerly stood.")

Now for what I found in book name "ANNALS AND ANTIQUITIES of THE COUNTIES and COUNTY FAMILES OF WALES� by Thomas Nicholas.

"Subtitle: �BRECONSHIRE; Extinct Families of Norman Origin�

P 86

OLD FAMILES OF NORMAN BLOOD

As was the custom under the Norman feudal system, Bernard Newmarch divided the land of Bycheiniog between himself and his chief follows; and these became in course of time, through intermarriage with the Welsh, more that Norman. It has already been intimated that a large proportion of William the Conqueror�s forces were pure or mixed Celts from Brittany, Normandy, and elsewhere,- many of them , indeed, descendants of Cynry from Wales, who had sought refuge and settlement in Brittany during the Saxon and Danish troubles; and it is more than probable that some of Newmarch�s companions wer of this description, and only restored the purity of their Celtic blood by alliances with the people of Brycheiniog. The example of marrying into Welsh families was set by Bernard Newmarch himself, who took to wife the notorious Nest, daughter of Trahaearn ap Caradog, and niece of Llywelyn as Seissyllt.

The Descendants of the Norman fief-holders of Brycheiniog best know to out times are the BURGHILLS, the GUNTERS, the AWBREYS, the HAVARDS, the PETOUS, the WALBEOFFES. When Powel wrote his HISTORIE OF CAMBRIA- or, rather, annotated and publish Caradog ap Ilancarvan�s Chronicle- in early part of the seventeenth century, most of the leading knights who fought with Newmarch had still representatives who claimed a share in their original estates. Powel says,-

�here came manie gentleman with the said Bernard Newmarch��upon whom he bestowed divers manours, which their heirs do possess and enjoy even to our time� He then mentions some of them by name, with manors. �The ASBERYES� had received the manours of ABERCYNRIG and SLOWCH; the WALBIEFES, the manour of Llanhamlach and Taly-Lhyn; the �GUNTERS, the manour of Gilston� (rather of Tregunter, whence they removed to Gilston); and the �HAVARDS, the manour of Pont-wiym�----HIST. CAMBR., p. 150.

AWBREYS OF ABERCYNRIG

The AWBREYS, derived from the Norman De Alberico, corrupted into Awbrey, were contemporary with the Conquest. Sir Riginald Awbery was on of Newmarch�s chief men, and got as his reward the lands of Abercynrig and Slwch. In the fifth generation after him, John Awbrey, according to Jones, sold Slwch to Richard, of the line of Caradog �Freichfras, whose descendants resided there for upwards of four centuries, latterly under the name of Thomas, Abercynrig continued the seat of Awbreys until their decline, but this also was sold in more recent times, The family in the third generation after Bernard Newmarch�s conquest, began to intermarry with the Welsh, and in course of time became a Substantially Welsh family.

AWBREY OF YNYSCEDWIN

From Jenkin Awbrey, of Abercynrig, descended, at some distance, Evan Gwyn Awbrey, who married a Herbert of Crughowel. Their grandson, Morgan, was of Ynyscedwin, in the Vale of Tawe, and married a daughter of Thomas Games, of Abergran. Hes great-granddaugther merged the name of Awbrey in that of Gough, of Willersely, one of whose sons married Elinor Williams, of Aberpergwm (d.s.p.) and from third son, Fleming, the persent Mr Gough of Ynyscedwin is descended."

I also found the information here: The pedigree chart is this post was obtained from LDS FHC microfilm #104381, item #6, National Library of Wales (NLW) film # 6612 and here too:

It's interesting that the Awbrey family are de Clare descendants ...Earls of Pembroke until both the then current Earl and his heir became Magna Charta Surety Barons. They were dispossessed and Richard de Clare's title and daughter were given to William Marshall, Lord Protector of England. I can't remember who the siblings married at the moment. Other Magna Charta families more than likely.

The Washingtons also descend from the de Clare line via Margaret Butler and one of their descendants, John Wright I

The Magna Charta Surety Barons were all related to one another since their families had intermarried for centuries by the time of Runnymede in 1215.Anyone interested in finding out more could search the list archives of [email protected].

Name: James Walwyn , esq. b. in 1768 , succeeded his father, John Walwyn , esq. M. P.

The Welsh genealogists, according to their custom, have carried the antiquity of the Walwyn family very high, deriving the descent of Sir Philip ap David , Lord of Walwayne's Castle, in Pembrokeshire , from Gualgnain , sister's son to King Arthur , the British hero, and therein they have been followed by William of Malmesbury , Robert of Gloucester, Camden , and several others. "Tunc (anno 1086 ) in Provincia Wallarum qu� Ros vocatur inventum est sepulchrum Walweni, qui fuit haud deneger Arturis ex Sorore Nepos, regnavitque in ea parte Britanni� qu� adhuc Walwertha vocatur. Miles virtute nominatissimus, sed a Fratre et Nepote Hengristii Regno pulsus," &c. Camden also mentions the same person, as may be seen under the name of Waldwin , which he says "some have interpreted out of the German tongue, which signifies a conqueror, but we now use Gawen instead of Walwyn ; but if Walwin was a Britan, and King Arthur 's nephew, as William of Malmesbury noteth, when he speaketh of his gyant-like bones found in Wales , I refer the signification to the Britans." The name is composed of two British words, Gwal, which signifies a wall, and Gwynne or Wynne, white; to which the family crest, a wyvern upon an embattled wall or tower argent, refers. It is also local, and the ruins of Walwyn Castle, or the castle with white walls, are yet, or lately were, to be seen in Pembrokeshire , where it gives name to a parish near Haverfordwest In the manuscripts of Doctor Blount , of the city of Hereford , we find under the article of Marcle Magna "These Walwayus are of ancient descent from Gwallain , or Walwayn Castle, in Pembrokeshire , of which family was Sir Philp Walwayn , who being engaged in King William Rufus's time, under Bernard de Newmarch , the Norman, in the conquest of Brecknockshire , (The twelve knights who came into Wales at the conquest of Brecknockshire , in the train of Bernard de Newmarch.

Theophilus Jones in "The History of Brecknockshire" published 1809 John Havard is son of Sir Walter Havard

Welsh Havard's of Breacon

The Havards were a Norwegian Viking family of some social status and the first settlement. (occupation) in Normandy was in the hamlet of "Les Flamands" near Neuf-Marche, south of the town of Gournay-en-Bray between Rouen and Beavais. Many Havard's are not related to this branch of the family as they are decended from Norwegian Havard's (Haavard or Havard with a little 'o' over the first a). The English Havard's are mainly decended from the Welsh Havard. The Welsh Havard are decendents of Walter, a knight who supported William the Conquerer and his invasion of England. The area around Breacon was given to him as thanks and they married into the Royal family of Wales, the Vaughn's. Evidence of this can be seen in Breacon Cathedral on the tombstones. The family motto is "Hope in God", the crest a Bulls head on a white shield with three red stars surrounding it. Walter (William the Conqueror's general) said to have son John and another one name Peter

Havard � brought to Wales when Bernard de Neufmarche gave the manor of Pontwilyn to Sir Walter Havard, recorded by historians as Walter Havre de Grace.

The Havard surname is first recorded (c900 AD) in Britanny (north-west France) and they are believed to be descended from Viking invaders/settlers. The name is still in use today in Norway and the British Island of Orkney (north of Scotland) as a first name. My branch arrived in England in the wake of the Norman conquest (1066) although they were not part of the invasion itself. The head of the family was a Norman knight, Sir Walter Havard, who was granted land near Brecon in Wales in 1086 by Bernard de Neumarch who was the conqueror's (William 1st) brother in law. The family survived by marrying into the Welsh tribes - whereas some of the other Norman families tried to keep a pure Norman bloodline and eventually expired. It has always been a small but noted Welsh family. In the first half of the 20th century there was a Bishop Havard who endowed a library at St David's Cathedral and is buried at Brecon. During the First World War he served in the trenches as Chaplain to the! Welsh Guards and won (at least one) Gallantry Award. It is most likely that you are descended from the Welsh family (emigration to the US being virtually unknown from North-West France) and that your forebears arrived in America between 1760 and 1890 - although your grandfather's brothers' names imply some distance from the original settlers - who would have used Welsh first names (such as Thomas, David, Owen, Morgan).

The House of Griffith

About the year 1113, "there was a talke through South Wales, of Gruffyth, the sonne of Rees ap Theodor, who, for feare of the king, had beene of a child brought up in Ireland, and had come over two yeares passed, which time he had spent privilie with his freends, kinsfolks, and affines; as with Gerald, steward of Penbrooke, his brother-in-law, and others. But at the last he was accused to the king, that he intended the kingdome of South Wales as his father had enjoied it, which was now in the king's hands; and that all the countrie hoped of libertie through him; therefore the king sent to take him. But Gryffyth ap Rees hering this, sent to Gruffyth ap Conan, prince of North Wales, desiring him of his aid, and that he might remaine safelie within his countrie; which he granted, and received him joiouslie for his father's sake." He afterwards proved so troublesome and successful an antagonist, that the king endeavoured by every possible means to get him into his power. To Gruffyth ap Conan he offered "mountaines of gold to send the said Gruffyth or his head to him." And at a subsequent period, he sent for Owen ap-Cadogan said to him, "Owen, I have found thee true and faithful unto me, therefore I desire thee to take or kill that murtherer, that doth so trouble my loving subjects." But Gruffyth escaped all the snares which the king had laid for him, and in the year 1137 died a natural and honourable death; he is styled in the Welsh chronicle, "the light, honor, and staie of South Wales;" and distinguished as the bravest, the wisest, the most merciful, liberal, and just, of all the princes of Wales. By his wife Gwenllian, the daughter of Gruffyth ap Conan, he left a son, commonly called the lord Rhys, who met the archbishop at Radnor, as is related in the first chapter of this Itinerary.

�DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY�

Aubrey, William, LL.D. (1529-1595) and eminent civilian an grandfather of the antiquary, John Awbrey was born at Cantre [Cantreff], Brecknockshire, in or about 1529, and was educated at Oxford, where he graduated B.C.L. in 1549. He became fellow of All Souls� was appointed principal new In Hall, 1550, and professor of civil law in 1553. I appears that he discharged the duties of his professor by deputies; for William Mowse filled the chair in 1554. In 1559 he resigned in favour of John Griffth. Having taken the degree of D.C. L. (1554) Aubrey was admitted an advocate in the court of Arches, and afterwards officiated as judge-advocate in the expedition against St. Quentin. He died on 23 July 1595, leaving three sons and six daughters. In Dugdale�s History of St. Paul�s Cathedral� there is a drawing of Aubrey�s monument and effigy in St. Paul�s. His grandson, the antiquary, writes: �I have his originall picture. He had a delicate, quick, lively and piecing black eie, a severe eie browe, and a fresh complexion. The figure in his monument at St. Paules is not like him- it is too big�.

William Aubrey came of a well-established family of Breconshire. According to his greatgrandson John Aubrey he �learned the first grounds of grammar in the College of Brecon�, whence he proceeded to Oxford at the age of 14, where:

(in a few years he so much profited in humanity and other recommendable knowledge, especially in rhetoric and histories, as that he was found to be fit for the study of the civil law, and thereupon was also elected unto the fellowship of All Souls College)

We also have in on John Aubrey�s authority that his ancestor was 25 when he received his doctorate: he had certainly not yet done so when on 7 Oct 1553 he was appointed joint professor of civil law. The post had previously been held by John Story, first alone and later with Robert Weston, but as Story had not had the last grant sealed it was again at the crown�s disposal. Of the stipend of L 40 a year Aubrey presumably received half , but at some time during his tenure he acquired Story�s interest and it was he alone who surrendered the office on 22 Feb 1559. He appears to have discharged its duties by deputy: in 1554 the lectures were given by William Mowse and in 1557 Aubrey went to France as judge marshal of the army led by William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke.

Aubrey�s patronage by Pembroke, to which John Aubrey bore testimony, went back at least to the first year of Mary�s reign, for it was to the earl that he must have owed his election to the Parliament of April 1554; Pembroke was constable of Carmarthen castle and wielded much influence in the borough. By January 1558, when Aubrey was next returned to the House, the connexion had been strengthened by their wartime service together, and it was as the hero of St. Quentin, as well as chancellor and chamberlain of Brecon and constable of the castle, that Pembroke could procure Aubrey�s Membership of this Parliament is the entry of his name of Brecon Boroughs on the original Crown Office list: its omission (with 16 others) from a copy Of this list apparently made in preparation for the second session is a peculiarity which has yet to be explained but which hardly casts doubt upon his election. What part Aubrey played in the proceedings of either Parliament is unknown.

In 1558 Aubrey had most of his life and career still ahead of him: he was to rise high as a civil lawyer and ecclesiastical administrator and to be a Member of three Elizabethan Parliaments, the last of them separated by nearly 40 years from the one in which he had first sat. He died on 25 June 1595 and was buried in St. Paul�s cathedral.

A cousin, John Aubrey, FRS, of Easton Pierce, began a suit to recover the Brecknockshire lands about 1656. This time corresponds roughly with the immigration of Henry to Virginia. Henry, John, and Thomas were the last heirs to Sir William Awbrey after the death of their brother Sir Edward Awbrey. However, Sir Edward had a son from a second marriage that became Sir William's heir. The three brothers recognized Sir Edward's son as heir and left for Virginia. Their cousin, John Aubrey, did not recognize Sir Edward's son as heir because he considered him illegitimate. However, John Aubrey lost his case, and William inherited. This information substantiates the family story that the brother's left Wales because of a lack of inheritance. 6. Sir William Awbrey had seven sons, all of whom were gone from Wales by 1656. This means that all seven would have to have died in before the age of forty-five. This is extremely unlikely seeing that most of them lived to adulthood. Furthermore, the fates of the older children are known, but the fates of John, Thomas, and Henry are unknown. This testifies to the fact that the family had little or no contact with the younger sons in later years. Again, this substantiates the claim that they were in Virginia.

Note that William and Elizabeth had two sons named John. 1 died young and the other is the one came to America with his brothers

Harry is Henry, Reginald died at the Battle of Edgehill. The first John died young according to my other information. Contrary to some of the information you have seen Sir William did not have a son named Richard. Elinor is Eleanor.

Sir William Awbrey born Abt 1583 in Llanelieu, Breconshire, Wales died 1631. Sir William wife was Elizabeth Johns "Sir William had three sons: Henry, John, and Thomas that came to America. They settled in Westmoreland and Rappahannock Counties, Virginia.

Has the will of Henry Awbrey, 1694.Henry mentions brother John and nephew Francis in his will" "Sir William had three sons: Henry, John, and Thomas and Richard was Sir Henry's grandson that came to America. They settled in Westmoreland and Rappahannock Counties, Virginia.

Henry Awbrey's will is at the bottom of this page with his son Richard will too and the link to Henry marriage to the Meador family

"Elizabeth Johns who married Sir William Awbrey was descended on both sides from the Berkeley family. This family descends many different ways from Charlemagne, as well as the majority of the early Norman kings of England. This line would apply to you as you are a descendant of John Awbrey Sr., a son of Sir William Awbrey and Elizabeth Johns. This line would not apply to the other Awbrey branches, such as the group that immigrated to Pennsylvania, or the branch that continued to reside in England as Baronets of Llantrithydd. The Virginia Awbreys are the only ones descended from Elizabeth Johns.

I know that Elizabeth father was Sir Thomas Johns (Jones) of Abermarlais. Sir Thomas Johns of Abermarlais who is purportedly a descendant of Edward I. When I can find more on the line I will make page for them.

Anyway, if you are interested in royal descent, I can give you the royal descent of the Awbrey family from the Royal House of Gwent, an ancient Welsh kingdom near the southern Wales- England border. This line can be proven through heraldic law and is metioned often in association with the Herbert family, Earls of Pembroke and Lords of Raglan Castle (Awbrey cousins).

[Nolands Ferry] Originally licensed by Ebenezer Floyd in 1742, ferry operations at this landing were taken over by Philip Noland around 1754. (Noland was the son-in-law of Francis Awbrey, who had licensed a very early Potomac ferry operation at the base of Conoy Island, two miles upstream, in 1735.) Noland competed successfully with Josiah Clapham�s ferry at the mouth of the Monocacy (mile 42.2).

Joseph Bookout [again, signed "x"] is a witness to another indenture between Thomas Awbrey and William and Bridge Cummins dated 12 Nov 1768. 7. Ms. Karen Titus, Genealogist, Leesburg, Virginia sent to Henry Wade Bookout (III) and to Mary K. Bookout (Mrs. Lawrence Ellis Bookout) in Jan 1996 the following record: Loudoun County [VA] Court Order Book D, p. 240[?], May the 9. 1769: "Bookout & [?] Awbrey "Joseph Bookout Plaintif ) In Debt ) "Thomas Awbrey Defendant ) "Samuel Mobley came into Court and undertook for the Defendant that in case he should be Cast in this Suit he should satisfy and pay the condemnation of the Court or render[?] his body to Prison in Execution for the same or that the said Samuel Mobley would do it for him-."

Even after Lord Fairfax arrived in the colony. he did not enlist his interest, but saw him give a powerful support to the Scots on Hunting Creek. His only confidential associate in this effort seems to have been Francis Awbrey. That forgotten worthy, the first citizen of LOUDOUN, who played a large part in the earliest settlement of the upper Potomac but died too soon to be of material aid to Lees plans?

The site at the mouth of Pimmets run had, indeed, every natural advantage for an entrepot. As compared with its successful rivals, it was first in the field. Here Henry Fleet traded with the Iroquois. It was, too, a main crossing river used by the Maryland Indians and by the white men who succeeded to their lands. From the Virginia shore extended thence inland north and west those two trails which Sugarlands Rolling Road and the Falls Rolling Road and were used as their access to the upper country by a large proportion of the earliest English immigrants from the South. The relation with Maryland was of enough importance to justify a ferry here prior to 1737 and that that ferry was then frequented is evident from the fact that Francis Awbrey found it profitable to convert it into a into a public ferry in 1738, and, before the warehouse had been established, to maintain an ordinary on the Virginia Shore to serve the travel there. While Thomas Lee, and after hin his eldest son, made what they could of these it does not appear that their venture was ever a business success. Both Alexandria and Georgetown blanketed them. The premonition of this fate was the removal in 1748, Francis Awbreys death, of the public ferry to Analostan Island against the then nascent settlement of Georgetown.

Virginia Marriages to 1800

This database of Virginia marriages to 1800 contains over 85,000 names. Each entry includes groom, bride, marriage date, county, and state. Every name is indexed so you can search for one name, or two names that are linked. The marriage date is usually the date of marriage as given in the original entry. However, when no marriage date is given (e.g., the "marriage return" was not provided to the record keeper), the date of the license is used. In a few cases, a marriage will be listed twice, but in two different counties. This most often happened when a couple obtained a license in one county, but were actually married in another.

These marriage records, compiled by Liahona Research at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, unfortunately do not contain citations for the origin of each entry. The purpose of this database is to provide a time and place for as many marriages as possible. It is up to the researcher to examine original records (see the Family History Library Catalog--available at any LDS family history center-- under the heading "Vital Records" for the appropriate locality) and gather whatever additional genealogical information is desired Dodd, Jordan.
