From the same reference (Burke 1884) on p. 1035, he presents Tudor Trevor. The following is recorded:
"Tudor Trevor (Lord of Hereford, Whittington, and both Maelors; founder of the Tribe of the Marches, surnamed Trevor, from the place of his birth, co. Denbigh, son of Ynyr ap Cadforch, Lord of Whittington and both Maelors, in Powys, by Rheingar, his wife, dau. and heir of Lluddoca ap Caradoc Vreichfras, Lord of Hereford, in South Wales."
A fairly long list of families that descended from Tudor Trevor are then given including "Jones of Llwynon". After 50 years of genealogy tree climbing, it would show that my family roots are here.
"Per bend sinister erm. and ermines a lion ramp. or."

Howel (JM-1)
Howel of Llwyn-Onn is the next generation.
His wife is recorded in Nicholas (p.355) as Margaret of Pengwern. The name "Pengwern" must have been taken from the "capital" [family seat] of the Cornovii, for in Davis [A History of Wales pp.63-65] he discusses this term in the territory of the Cornovii. Some feel this was originally located at present Shrewsbury, but it is a Welsh name given to several sites. [See A Gazetteer of Welsh Place-Names, p.93] At any rate, Margaret seems to be from the same lineage of Tudor Trevor, who settles in the Welsh kingdom of Powys. Powys was formed from the territory of Cornovii. How about that for "internal consistency" in the old tree climbing experience.

The Lay of The Land
By the time of Cadfarch [ca. 850 AD], the reigns of power had been taken by several family groups. Family dynasty had become the "norm" and developed into larger political units.
Gwynedd, a region which took its name from the tribe of the Venedotae, had settled the area to the northwest. [Cunedda and his boys are given credit for this.]
Powys was the dynasty along the upper eastern borders of what was to become Wales. A branch of this dynasty came to be known as Rhwny Gwy a Hafren (between Wye and Severn) which becomes one branch of my own Welsh family tree.
Eliseg, in whose memory the still-existing monument, the Eliseg Pillar, helped re-establish the claims of Powys. It is in the valley of the Dee that Cadfarch had his family. It would have been around the time under the rule of Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri The Great, 844-878 AD) that the family began its settlement in this area.
The drawing to the right shows a general outline of the main "kingdoms" of Wales during its early period. The southern sections were more divided into various kingdoms, but were about to see their rise under the grandson of Rhodri Mawr. Fighting, fighting, war, war... Cadfarch's name would describe the time.
