Sennybridge Castle aka Castell Rhyd-Y-Briw & Castell Du Powys, mid Wales Location map link for Sennybridge Castle Only fragments of the south wall of a courtyard with a projecting round tower about 7.8m in diameter now survive of a 13th century castle, alternately known as Castell Rhyd-Y-Briw. This may have been the castle begun by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd in 1262, and in 1271 was occupied by his ally Einion Sais, who is traditionally said to have had a second castle at Penpont where a tributary stream flows into the River Usk halfway between Castell Du and Brecon. >From History of the County of Brecknock by Theophilus Jones (1898), volume 2: page 77: [1321] The younger [Hugh] D'Espencer was now constituted governor of Brecknock castle; and afterwards obtained a grant of the lordship, together with Penkelly, Cantreff-Selyff, Blanllyfni and Dinas, late the property of the earl of Hereford and Roger Mortimer, [John] Giffard and Rhys ap Hywel, who had been attainted for the late rebellion. [The Earl of Lancaster's rebellion, which ended at Boroughbridge in 1321]. This last was the lineal descendant of Bleddyn ap Maenarch and grandson of that Trahearn fychan who was so inhumanly murdered by William de Breos of Brecknock page 80: Einion the second son of Rhys ap Hywel, whose attainder has been noticed, embraced a military life and served our third Edward in the memorable battles of Cressy and Poictiers; after a long residence in England he returned to his native country with considerable opulence and married the rich heiress of Howel, lord of Miscin in Glamorganshire; he became possessed by purchase of nearly the whole of what is now called the hundred of Devynnock, from Llywel on the borders of Carmarthenshire to the river Tarell near Brecon. He built a castellated mansion for his residence in the parish of Llandspyddid, lately called the castle field, now the property of Penry Williams of Penpont, esquire: it is described to have been situated on the fall of a small brook into the Usk, near Bettws or Penpont chapel: there is still an unevenness in the surface of the ground, though there are not now the smallest vestiges of buildings remaining; Hugh Thomas, who wrote in 1698, recollects to have seen the ruins, and there are others living who remember the rubbish being removed and the soil cleared of the stones and materials of the walls: it was called from the owner, Castell Einion Sais, or Einion the Englishman's castle, an appellation by which the Welsh to this day sometimes distinguish not only the English settlers among them, but also their own countrymen who have been brought up and educated in England. - Curt Gaines ([email protected]):

Notes: In the book, IN SEARCH OF WALES, H.V. Morton says; Among the Welshmen that followed King Henry to the French Wars ...tough warriors under the command of Davy the One-eyed... did gallant service at Agincourt." The King Henry referred to is Henry V of England, and the French Wars are those of Henry's invasion of France culminating in the decisive battle of Agincourt in 1415."Davy the one- eyed" is David Gam, who played a rather conspicuous part in English history and literature. This David Gam, according to abundant and reliable evidence, was a son of Llewellyn, who traced his family back, through many notable Welsh ancestors to Cradoc Fraich-Fras (Cradoc of the Strong Arm), a knight of King Arthur's Round table; and to Brychan, one of the ancient Kings of Wales. The "Gam" was a nickname, signifying crippled or lame-forerunner of the English word "Game" used in the same sense-and had reference to a defect or injury of one of David's eyes, causing historians to describe him variously as "The Squint eyed" or "The one-eyed". Theophilus Jones states in A HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF BRECKNOCK that he was probably 55 or 60 years old when he went to France, since he left both children and grandchildren behind. He was an athletic person with red hair and before the invasion he was already rated a squire in the service of the King. The ancestors and descendants of David Gam came primarily from "A History of the County of Brecknock" by Theophilus Jones, Volume Two, published sold by Blissett, Davies and Co., 14 Bridge Street, in 1909. Theophilus Jones was the Deputy Registrar of the Archdeaconry of Brecon. It was at AGINCOURT that David Gam won the accolade of Knighthood-at the cost of his life. In a furious action, in which with personal daring he saved the life of the King who was hemmed in and about to be overpowered, he received wounds from which he died, either on the field of battle or shorly after. At any rate, the king knighted him there "Sir Davy Gam". Mr Jones makes this important statement: "From this David Gam or Sir David Gam, all ye Games of Breckockshire and elsewhere are descended...". Sir Walter Raleigh has an eulogium upon his bravery and exploits in field of Agincourt, in which he prefers his greatness of soul to that of Mago, and compares him to Hannibal. It is believed he was the original of Shakespeare's character of Fluellin, of Henry V, "for," says Jones' history of Brecon County, "there was no other person of that country in the English Army who could have been supposed to have been upon such terms of familiarity with the King; and it must be observed that Llewellyn was the name by which he was kwown in that army." David's children took the name Gam as their surname. This in the course of a century became Game and eventually Games. The traditional belief of the Gaines family in America that they are descended are of Welsh origin and descended from Davy Gam and the Games family of Brecknockshire. David lived at Peytin Gwin, Brecknockshire, Wales Book, "Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith". pages 787-788:

Dafydd ap Llewllyn, called from a cast or squint he had in one eye, Dafydd Gam, the Crooked. This was the celebrated David Gam, Knight. There are two references for David Gam, the first being Ancestry of John Whitney, by Henry Melville. pp 102 and 216. (The Robert Whitney who married Constance. Touchet had married 1st Alice Vaughn, daughter of Thomas Vaughn, son of Sir Roger Vaughn and Gladys Gam, daughter of Sir David Gam. You descend from Robert Whitney's 2nd wife, Constance Touchet. This explains the Gam data in the Whitney book.) Sir David Gam, in the Whitney book, was hero of Agincourt in 1415. His daughter Gladys married Sir Roger Vaughn. Her husband and her father were both killed at the battle of Agincourt, in France, with Henry V, King of England. In a lull of the battle, after the French were rolled back in confusion, these two, known as Davydd ap Llewellyn and Roger Vychen or Vaughn, were found just alive in the midst of a heap of slain, and before they breathed their last, they were held up to receive from the King, Henry V of England, the honour of knighthood. Henry V had been born at Monmouth, the Western county of England, and in the Marches between England and Wales, on the banks of the Wye River, and consequently had for his most devoted adherents some of his old neighbors and boyhood friends. To the French war there followed him, as personal esquires, David Gam and his son-in-law Roger Vaughn of Bredwardine, and Walter Lloyd. The morning before Agincourt,Gam was sent out as a scout to ascertain the number of the enemy, and finding the whole country covered, as far as the eye could reach, with the forest glittering with lances, outnumbering England 10 to 1, Gam reported laconically:"There are enough to be killed, enough to be taken and enough to run away." The other references for David Gam is: Annals and Antiquities of the Counties and County Families of Wales, by Thomas Nicholas, pub. 1872, pp 91 and 94. Sir David Gam, Knight, the most prominent of this once prominent family, deserves more than a passing notice. The name by which he was known at the time he lived was Dawvydd ap Llewellyn, the dignity of knighthood being only conferred upon him as his last breath was escaping on the field at Agincourt. Of impulsive and violent temper, prompt in action without calculation of consequences, cruel, unscrupulous and brave, he was a dangerous man to either friend or foe. It was said he lived like a wolf and died like a lion. He started in life by slaying a kinsman in the street of Brecon, but was exonerated. He was a strong partisan of the English Kings, Henry IV and V. He was especially active against Owen Glyndwr, or Glendower, who had traversed Breconshire with fire and sword, for though the provocation was doubtless great, his mode of retaliation was atrocious. He was imprisoned, but no sooner released than he again devoted himself to the cause of the Henrys IV and V. In 1415, Henry V met the French at Agincourt, and there, in the crisis of a signal victory, when Henry V himself was hemmed in and borne down by the enemy, David ap Llewellyn with others of his countryment rushed to the rescue of the King and effected his deliverance; but the brave defender fell mortally wounded, and Henry V on the spot, as the last blood was ebbing, made him a knight, conferring the same honour on Gam's son-in-law Roger Vaughn of Tretwr, who also fell. David Gam:

Gam, David d. 1415, Welsh warrior, is more properly styled Davydd ab Llewelyn. �Gam� is a nickname meaning �squinting,� which, like other Welsh nicknames, became equivalent to a surname. David's father was Llewelyn, the son of Hywel, the son of Eineon Sais. Llewelyn possessed fair estates in the parishes of Garthbrengy and Llanddew, which lay within the honour or lordship of Brecon, a dependency of the earldom of Hereford, and after 1399 lapsed to the crown by the accession of Henry IV, who had long enjoyed that earldom. Peytyn was the name of Llewelyn's chief residence. David is described in a verse attributed to Owain Glyndwr as a short red-haired man with a squint. He was faithful to his lord, Henry IV, even during the revolt of Owain [see Glendower, Owen]. He was rewarded for his services by a large share in the South Welsh lands confiscated from rebels in 1401 (Wylie, Hist. ofHenry IV, p. 245).

There is a story that David plotted against the life of Owain when attending the Welsh parliament at Machynlleth. But it rests on no early authority, misdates the year of the Machynlleth parliament, and wrongly makes David a brother-in-law of Owain. There seems nothing to show that David ever wavered in his allegiance. David was taken prisoner by Owain, probably at a time when Owain's successes were very few. On 14 June 1412 David's father, Llewelyn ab Hywel, and the seneschal and receiver of Brecon were empowered to treat with Owain, and by ransom or by capturing rebel prisoners to extricate David from his rigorous imprisonment (Federa, viii. 753).

It is said that David soon after got into trouble by killing a kinsman in an affray in Brecon town. In 1415 David, accompanied by three foot archers only, followed Henry V on his invasion of France (Nicolas,Battle of Agincourt, p. 379). It is reported that when, on the eve of the battle of Agincourt, he was questioned by the king as to the number of the enemy, he replied �that there were enough to be slain, enough to be taken prisoners, and enough to run away.� The story, however, first appears in Sir Walter Raleigh's �History of the World� (p. 451). David was slain at the battle of Agincourt, which was fought on 25 Oct. 1415. The contemporary chroniclers who notice his death simply describe him as an esquire (Walsingham, ii. 313; cf. �Chronicles of London,� quoted in Nicolas, pp. 279-80). There is a tradition that he was knighted for his valour when dying on the field of battle, and the fact that one chronicler says that two recently dubbed knights were slain (Gesta Henrici Quinti, p. 58, Engl. Hist.Soc.) is thought to bear out the story. But one writer at least mentions both the two knights and David Gam (Nicolas, p. 280). Lewis Glyn Cothi, a Welsh poet of the next generation, who celebrated the praises of David's children and grandchildren, regularly speaks of him, however, as �Syr Davydd Gam� (Gwaith, pp. 1, 8). It has been suggested that David is the original of Shakespeare's Fluellen. This is not at all an improbable conjecture, as Fluellen is plainly a corruption of Llewelyn, and David was generally called David Llewelyn, or ab Llewelyn. The reference to him in Raleigh shows also that his name was familiar to the age of Elizabeth. David is said to have married Gwenllian, daughter of Gwilym, son of Hywel Grach. He left a family. His son Morgan became the ancestor of the Games of Breconshire. His daughter Gwladus was by her second husband, Sir William ab Thomas of Raglan, the mother of William, the first Herbert Earl of Pembroke.

Sir John Games He was the g-g-g- grandson of the famous David Gam.

Sir John built, in 1582, and lived in the manor fortress called Newton on a piece of land that had been in his family for hundreds of years. This farm, Newton, is still in existence; I visited there last summer. This was all the info my wife and I had to go on when we scheduled 3 days in a B and B in Brecon. It is beautiful pastoral mountainous country. Our first day there we located Newton at the confluence of two rivers. We met the current tenants, they had lived there as tenant farmers for over 60 years. They live in only 3 rooms of the huge four story home, the rest is very medievel with tall ceilings and massive windows and doors. The focal point is the mantle above the fireplace in the great hall. It was installed by Sir John Gaines and traces his lineage, in welch, back 6 generations to David Gam. Above the fireplace is the family coat of arms, said to have been deliberatley defaced by Cromwells revolutionary troops.

The Games family was prominent in Brecon and there are other notable estates with Gaines connections. One of them is called PenPont. It was built around 1666 on land that belonged to David Gams greatgrandfather Einion Sais. A great castle there was destroyed in 1400 by Owain Glendower the revolutionary Welchman who was an enemy to the royalist Gams. Anyway, the grandaughter of Sir John, was the first inhabitant of this fine mansion which we visited. It is now a B and B and is run by descendants of Sir John Gaines. I read in a book that many old family portraits were housed there including on of Sir John himself. I asked the owner to see it, she informed me that it had been auctioned off in 1992! They don't know where it is now. I would like to track this down somehow.

For the early history of the GAINES family, as given here, we are indebted chiefly to Major Richard V. Gaines, of Mossingford, Virginia, who devoted many years to the study of this family and traced it through an unbroken line to Brychan, who became King of Wales early in the fifth century and reigned until his death in A.D. 450. His lineage gave to Wales some of the formost men in her annals and the history of Wales is, in a large measure, the record of the achievements of his descendants, a few of whom were: Beli the Great, Emperor of Great Britain; Cadwalader, great grandson of Beli; St. David. patron saint of Wales; Roderic the Great, from whom descended King George V., of England; Howel the Good, who prepared the first system of civil law which was put into operation in the territory now embraced in the British Realm; Cradoc, of Llancarvon, the historian; Sir Rhys-ap-Thomas, who commanded the forces under the Earl of Richmond, and by his skill and gallantry at the battle of Bosworth, where Richard III was slain, placed Richmond (Henry VII) upon the throne; David-ap-Gwillam, the father of Welsh poetry, and Llewellyn the Great, the last and probably the greatest of the Welsh kings, whose reign extended from 1194 to 1240. His administration of affairs caused a great literary and educational revival in Wales, and his achievements in arms were not less signal and masterful. To no one man does Wales owe more for the deep foundation of her indestructible, invincible national spirit than to Llewellyn the Great.

This is just a taste, there are four more paragraphs to the first part and then it goes into Daniel Gaines, James Gaines, William Henry Gaines, and Behethland Gaines that married James Lyon. James Gaines descendancy is the longest.

The Reverend Theophilus Jones in his history gives Brecon City, Wales, as the home of the family at the earliest known period of its history and also gives the genealogy of the family and many valuable facts concerning it. From Howel the Good the line is traced to Einon Sais (Who had lived in England and inherited the estate of Castle Einon Sais), his son Howel and his son, Llewellyn-ap-Hoel, the father of Roger, Griffith, Richard, William, Helen and David-ap-Llewellyn, later known as David Gam, a conspicuous and potential personage in Wales in the early part of the fifteenth century, a man of courage and judgment; of dauntless spirit and soldierly tact. By his personal daring on the Field of Agincourt (1415) he saved the life of Henry V, but was himself mortally wounded. He was knighted by his King just before he died. He entered the King's military service as David-ap-Llewellyn, but having a squint eye, the word signifying it, "Gam," was applied to him and he was knighted Sir David Gam and herein we find the origin of the name Gaines. The name remained Gam through two generations. His great grandson added "es" and thereafter it was Games; which form was adhered to in Wales, but in England it became Ganes, Gaynes and finally Gaines. Thomas Jones, an eminent genealogist, in 1599, makes this important statement: "From this Sir David Gam all ye Games of Brecknogshire, all ye Vaughns, and all ye Herberts of South Wales are descended and ye most part of all the nobility of England."

William Herbert and the Earl of Pembroke were great grandsons of Gladis, daughter of Sir David Gam. They were the friends and patrons of Shakespeare, and it was at Wilton, the home of the Earl of Pembroke, that King James, on December, second, 1603, first witnessed a performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. the Herberts took an active part in the early settlement of America, and were members of the Virginia Company orgainzed by Sir Walter Raleigh. Morgan, the eldest son of Sir David Gaines (Gam) was great-great-grandfather of Sir John Gaines (1559-1606) of Newton, County of Brecon, Wales, from whom the Gaines family of Virginia is believed to descend.

"My Roots" Christy Vendekieft Gibson [email protected] ______________________________________________________________- NOTE: After viewing an array of family trees, it seems that there are two clearly defined lines, with Dafydd's son Morgan having two sons with different mothers (offspring Llewlyen and Ieuen); however, at various points along the line of descent, there seems to be some "overlapping" or juxtaposition of one line with another. For instance, several trees show ascent from: Thomas Gaines and Blanch Kemis/Kemeys to Thomas Gaines and Jane Harvard/Havard, then to John Gaines and Elizabeth Vaughan/Vaughn, and then to Edward Gaines (b. 1564 who apparently descends Morgan Gam and wife Tanglwist)

But, several other trees show the line from Thomas Gaines and Blanch Kemis/Kemeys, to John Gaines and Wilford Awbrey, then to John Gaines and Elinor Morgan, and then to Thomas Gaines (b. abt 1535 who apparently descended from Morgan Gam and second wife Margaret Verch Llwyd/Lloyd)

So my my tree at this time is only reflecting what appears to be the "best scenario" thus far. It seems clear that all descend from Dafydd and Gwenillan and their son Morgan, but it is unclear to me at that point. Assistance would be appreciated!

Notes

STORY: goes that James Gaines* (1620-1692) & Jane (1638-)said to be son of Thomas and grandson of Sir John Gaines, of Newton, is believed to have been father of Richard Gaines who died in Culpeper County, Virginia, in 1750. Richard Gaines* (1666-1755) & Catherine Madison & Dorothy Rawlings (1664-1750).

James came to Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia. ca 1653. He has generally been accepted by tradition, as the son of Thomas Games(Gaines), the immigrant, along with his brothers Robert, of Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia, Francis of Lancaster Co., Virginia and sister Catherine. Data connects James with Daniel Gaines, John Catlett (Sr), Ralph Rowzee, Thomas Hawkins and Richard Lawson. A Gaines descendant states in his family records that James Gaines married a daughter of Richard Lawson, possibly named Elizabeth after her mother. Up to this time, however, no will or other document has been uncovered where his wife or wives and children are named.

Francis Gaines was named administrator by the court and in his report to the court he mentioned his expense "in moving mother." Thus, it is very evident that Francis Gaines, the administrator of the estate of Richard was also the son of said Richard and perhaps the oldest son. The mother's name is not mentioned and to date no documented evidence has been found to even indicate her name, even though some have stated that her maiden name was Catherine Madison.

Letter from Richard Waggoner, Jr. Weakley Co., Tennessee to is brother in law Thompson Crenshaw, Barren Co., Kentucky, April 27th 1833:

My Dear Relative,

It has been a considerable time since I have written to you, or to any of my friends in Barren City or heard from you by letter. Brother Reuben told me more about my relations on his return from Kentucky, than I had had at one time since I say you last. It has always been gratifying to me to hear from my relatives, particularly those of my intimate acquaintance, or at least my own dear brothers and sisters, but I can truly say to you that since this late disease has made its appearance on our continent so fatal to poor mortals wherever it goes-that I often think of you but never expect to see you again. I cant say that the disease just alluded to is common to our country, I hope it is not, from what I can learn respecting the complaint it is confined to the large water-courses. I live within 30 or 35 miles of the Mississippi River where the steamboats are passing almost daily and of late I learn that scarely one passes without having lost some--and some times as high as twenty from New Orleans to that place. I was down on the Mississippi 12 or 14 days ago at what is called Mill's Point. There was a man lying dead and unburied who was landed off of a steamboat 2 or 3 days before. And while I was there who should I lite with but old Uncle Herbert Waggener. The old gentleman had broke very much since I saw him last and is more like father than I thought he ever would be. The meeting was very unexpected.

He told me a good deal about my old friends and more distant relations. We were both in a hurry and had not much satisfaction in each other's company. We parted no doubt both under the same impression that it was our last in time. I had some business to the south of where I live and about 50 miles from home fortunately fell in with Old Uncle Henry Gaines and family.

The old gentleman looked much younger than I could have supposed. I said family-their two youngest children are with them and all are living with Ira who has a small family. They live in I believe the Southeast corner of Gibson Co. The old gentleman told me had found Uncle Larkin, the youngest of the family who lives if I mistake not in Tipton County about two days ride from him. Tipton lies on or near the Mississippi. I was glad to see Uncle and Aunt but was sorry to find him in such indigent circumstances. The old gentleman has entirely run through his property. Ira from what I could learn was much respected in the neighborhood.

He told me he thought it the duty of himself and youngest brother whose name is Richard to take the old people and take care of them the balance of their days. (Note: He must be Ira for Richard was is brother)

The old gentlman was brought to as I learned by being security for the man who married his eldest daughter Frances or Francie, but I can assure you that nothing has as much mortified my feelings in a long time as did the news I heard after leaving Uncle Gaines-to hear of his misconduct in his trials about his property. He showed the world that he lacked that which is of all things in times of trials and temptations most needful (true Religion),he even like Peter of old, cursed and swore and betook himself to intoxication. The people where I heard this were his neighbors at the time when these things happened, were people of apparent respectability. I could not well sleep the night after I heard it, to think the poor old man should in the decline of life deny the faith-that after having so long maintained a resepectable standing in society for the sake of a little property should disgrace himself-that after he so long preached to others-that he himself should prove himself a castaway. My time and feelings will permit me to say no more on the subject, for I am just getting out of an attack of the bilious fever. I was taken last Monday and this is now Sunday morning. I comenced my letter yesterday but felt too feeble to finish it. I have as yet said nothing of my own little family but can say through the mercy of God that we are all in the land of the living by no means enjoying good health.

Keziah has been laboring under a great complaintnearly ever since Reuben was in Kentucky-the doctors say an affection of the liver. My doctors bills for the last year with other things bore pretty heavy upon me. I have also bought me a home, on which with the blessing of a kind Providence I shall be enabled to support my family. I shall of course need all of the assistance I can possibly get.

Remind Cousin Joel if please of the little he is indebted to me as I shall very much need it and every cent that I can possibly get hold of. I think that I have waited long enough-if he cant get the money that he ought to do something. Wool roles if I could get them in time would bring money here, but getting them here would be the difficulty. It would cost but little to get a little one horse wagon and that he or Brother Henry must come see me. Write to (me) soon if you please.

I must now conclude as a friend is waiting who has promised to put this letter in the office at Bowling Green. Reuben say'd he was going to write.

Your affectionate brother, Richard Waggener
