THE noble house of TREVOR is one of the principal families in Wales, deduced by the Welsh heralds from Rourd Wiedick, father to Eignian Yothe; which Eignian held the lands of Gaercinion in Powysland, and was grandfather to Kariodock Urech fras, Earl of Hereford and Marchiogien, in the time of Prince Arthur, who began his reign anno 516. But the first that bore this name a was TUDOR TREVOR, Earl of Hereford, son of Rheingar, grandson of Kariodock aforesaid. He married Ankaret, daughter of Howel Dha ap Kadell, Prince of North Wales. And from him lineally descended, in succeeding ages, another TUDOR, whose great-grandson, JERWORTH Hen. ap Owen ap Blethyn ap Tudor, had in marriage Ankaret, daughter and heir to Griffith ap Melior ap Ellidor, by Ankaret his wife, daughter and heir of Llu ap Merrick ap Karadon ap Jestir ap Guergant, and had issue by her Jerworth, junior. JERWORTH VICHAN aforesaid had issue four sons, and From one of them the family of Mostyn is derived; for Thomas, in the time of Henry VIII: took the name of Mostyn, from ■ Although surnames were not fixed in these dominions till the reign of Henry VIII. yet I find a like name, and of authority, in Ireland, in the annals of that kingdom, A. D. 1361, where Joane is mentioned as wife to Geffrey Lord Trevers. Moreover, there was John Trevers, or Trevaur, the fourteenth Bishop of St. Asaph, and another of that name, who was the nineteenth Bishop of the same see, and likewise Chamberlain of Chester in 3 Rich. II. A. D. 1380, and continued so to 6 Hen. VI. the place of his nativity and ancient inheritance, by advice of the judge, who disapproved the genealogical way of appellation used by the Welsh, as tedious; this Mostyn at that time being called, at the pannel of a jury, by the name of Thomas ap William ap Richard ap Howel ap Evan Vaughan, &c. Those of the name of Jenkyns, with divers others, are also branches of this family, and bear the same coat of arms. JERWORTH VOEL, another of the sons of Jerworth Vichan, married Gwladua, daughter and heir of Jerworth ap Griffith ap Brockwell, and left issue EDVENET GAM, who married Giolades, daughter and heir of Madoc Eignion ap Edwin, by whom he had several sons. The second son was David. The fifth son was Jevan, ancestor to the Howels, and the Hosiers, both of Woodcote, in the county of Salop, and the Hosiers of Creakton, in the same county. DAVID married Gwenwhyfer, daughter of Adda Goch, and had issue EDWARD AP DAVID, who died 1448. He married Ankeret, daughter of Robert Puliston, of Emral, by whom he had two sons, First, John. Second, Richard, progenitor to the Trevors of Oswaldstreh, in com. Salop. JOHN, the eldest son (as likewise his brother) took the name of TREVOR, and was seated at Brynkynate, aud died in 1494, having had issue by his wife Agnes, daughter and heir to Peter Cambre, of Poole, five sons, which laid the foundation of as many several branches. First, Robert, who succeeded his father at Brynkynate, married Catharine, daughter and heir of Llewellin ap Ithele de Mauld, and had posterity. From him was descended Sir John Trevor, second but eldest surviving son and heir of John Trevor, Esq. of Brinkinate, by Mary, daughter of John Jeffrys, of Helon, in the same county, Esq.
