General Notes: Husband - Roger Vaughan

VAUGHAN family, of Tretower Court, parish of Llanfihangel Cwm-du, Brecknock.

Sir ROGER VAUGHAN, third son of ROGER VAUGHAN of Bredwardine (see Vaughan family of Bredwardine) by Gwladys, daughter of Dafydd Gam, was the first of the Vaughans to reside at Tretower. It is said that the residence was a gift to him from his half-brother William Herbert, earl of Pembroke, to whom the castle and manor of Tretower had descended by the marriage of his father, Sir William ap Thomas, to the widow of Sir James Berkeley, heiress of Tretower. Roger Vaughan enlarged and remodeled the house by the addition of a western range of buildings with a hall. Like all his kindred, Roger Vaughan is found on the Yorkist side in the divisions of his time, but he also was granted a pardon by the Coventry Parliament of 1457. The Privy Council ordered him, with Sir William Herbert and Walter Devereux, to prevent assemblies and the victualling of castles in Wales, 17 August 1460. He was with Edward's forces at Mortimer's Cross, 1461, and it is said that it was he who led Owain Tudor to his execution at Hereford after the battle. He was granted the offices of porter of the castle of Bronllys, forester of Cantrecelly, steward and receiver of the lordships of Cantrecelly, Penkelly, Alexanders-ton, and Llangoed, 15 November 1461, and lands in south-west England, 11 July 1462. He took a prominent part in quelling a rising in Carmarthenshire in 1465, and received grants of the insurgents' manors and estates in Gower and Kidwelly. By 23 March 1465 he was a knight, though the investiture is not recorded by Shaw. He was on commissions of 'oyer et terminer' in Wales and the Marches in 1467 and 1468. In the earl of Warwick's charter to Neath abbey, 24 June 1468, Vaughan as the earl's chancellor at Cardiff is the first witness, and Thomas ap Roger, possibly his son, is described as coroner of Cardiff. The common belief that he fell with his brothers at the battle of Banbury is incorrect. Lewis Glyn Cothi called upon him to avenge that battle, and on 16 February 1470 he was appointed constable of Cardigan castle. After the battle of Tewkesbury, 1471, it is said that Edward IV ordered him to pursue and capture Jasper Tudor, earl of Pembroke, but it was Vaughan himself who fell into the earl's hands, to be summarily beheaded at Chepstow. His elegies were sung by Ieuan ap Hywel Swrdwal or Huw Cae Llwyd, and Llywelyn Goch y Dant, who accused Jasper Tudor of treachery and guile. Guto'r Glyn also called on his family to avenge his death. He is described in the pedigree books as lord of Cantrecelly and Penkelly, owner of Merthyr Tydfil and Llandimore, and various lands in Glamorgan, and it is said that he built the 'royal palace' at Cardiff. He was twice married. The first wife was Denise, daughter of Thomas ap Philip Vaughan of Talgarth, and she was the mother of the heir (Sir) THOMAS VAUGHAN, Roger Vaughan (see Vaughan family of Porthaml) and four daughters who married into prominent families, the wives of Robert Raglan, Henry Donne, Morgan Gamage, and Morgan ap Thomas ap Gruffudd ap Nicolas. His second wife was Margaret, lady Powis, daughter of James, lord Audley, by his second wife, Eleanor, illegitimate daughter of Edmund, earl of Kent. (Her first husband, Sir Richard Grey, lord Powis, died 17 December 1466. The order of the marriages is incorrect in G. E. Cokayne under 'Grey of Powis.' She was lady Powis before her marriage to Sir Roger Vaughan. She was dead before 2 February 1480/1.) She had one daughter by Sir Roger, the wife of Humphrey Kynaston. A large number of illegitimate children are ascribed to Sir Roger Vaughan. Vaughan families are derived from some of the others: the Vaughans of Gelli-gaer from Lewis, the Vaughans of Cathedine from Roger, the Vaughans of Merthyr Tydfil from William, and the Vaughans of Coedkernew from John. One of the illegitimate children, Thomas, was long a prisoner in France; 'Sir' Philip Emlyn wrote a cywydd on his imprisonment, and Edward IV granted £40 from the customs of the port of Bristol towards his ransom, 28 September 1477. One of the earliest records of the heir, (Sir) THOMAS VAUGHAN, is that he was a trustee for the king's debt to his uncle, William Herbert, earl of Pembroke, 6 December 1468. He was on commissions of 'oyer et terminer,' etc., in South Wales in 1471/2. He was granted appointments in the lordship of Gower during the minority of Anne, heiress of John, duke of Norfolk, 7 October 1480. He gave Richard III strong support against the rebellion of the duke of Buckingham in October 1483. Henceforward, he is styled knight in the records, and he was granted the stewardship of the lordship of Brecknock, 4 March 1484. He seems to have acted cautiously during the months preceding the battle of Bosworth, and he obtained a general pardon from Henry VII, 2 April 1486. He built the gateway in the eastern wall of Tretower Court, and he maintained his family's traditional patronage of Welsh bards. He was unstintingly eulogised by Lewis Glyn Cothi, Dafydd Epynt, Ieuan ap Huw Cae Llwyd, Huw Dafi, and others. His first wife was Cissil, daughter of Morgan ap Jenkin 'ap Philip' of Gwent; the second was Jane, lady Ferrers. Lewis Glyn Cothi addressed an awdl to his three sons, Roger, Watkin, and Henry, but the family soon ceased to play a prominent part in Welsh life. The inheritance passed to HENRY VAUGHAN, the third son. CHRISTOPHER VAUGHAN, son of Henry Vaughan, was sheriff of Brecknock in 1548-9, and his son, WILLIAM VAUGHAN, held the same office in 1591-2. He died 1613, leaving WILLIAM VAUGHAN, who died 1617. In addition to the heir, CHARLES VAUGHAN (died 1636) of Tretower, William Vaughan's children included THOMAS VAUGHAN (died 1658), who married the heiress of Newton in Llansantffraed; Henry Vaughan the Silurist and Thomas Vaughan were their sons. CHARLES VAUGHAN was sheriff of Brecknock in 1622-3 and 1636. He died 1654. His son, EDWARD VAUGHAN, dying without issue, the estate passed to the daughter, MARGARET, wife of Thomas Morgan, Maes-gwartha. Her heir, VAUGHAN MORGAN, died 1684, and his son, CHARLES, assumed the surname of VAUGHAN. He died 1704, and was succeeded at Tretower by his son CHARLES VAUGHAN. The latter married the heiress of Hugh Powell of Scethrog, and took up residence there, where he was followed by his son and grandson (both named CHARLES VAUGHAN).

Tretower Court was sold about 1783, and the long association of the Vaughan family with that place was broken.

General Notes: Child - Roger Vaughan

This branch of the Vaughan family was founded by ROGER VAUGHAN, second son of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower. He was possibly the Roger Vaughan of Tyle-glas who was pardoned on 9 July 1491, and figures again in Henry VIII's pardon roll (1509) as Roger ap Roger of Tyle-glas, or Roger Vaughan of Talgarth. He was granted the offices of steward and receiver of the lordship of Dinas, 17 January 1509, and was dead before 25 September 1514, when those offices were granted to Sir Griffith ap Rice. His wife was Joan, daughter of Robert Whitney by Constance, daughter of James, lord Audley. The Vaughans of Tregunter descended from his second son, Thomas Vaughan. The heir, WATKIN VAUGHAN, married Joan, daughter of Ieuan Gwilym Vaughan of White Peyton. The above taken from https://biography.wales/article/s-VAUG-POR-1475

General Notes: Husband - Edward I

King of England from 1272-1307. I will not endeavor to trace English royal history from Edward back to the 11th century Norman Conquest. Suffice it to say that being a descendant of Edward I means descent, although not by a straight paternal line, all the way back to William the Conqueror . Famous actors have played some of these ancestors. Patrick McGoohan played Edward I in the movie “Braveheart”. Michael Rennie has, also played Edward.  Peter O'toole and Katherine Hepburn played Herny II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine in the movie “Lion In Winter”. King John often appears in Robin Hood movies, among others. Actors who have played him include Claude Rains , Donald Pleasance , Ian Holm , Paul Giamatti , Oscar Isaac and Richard Lewis .

General Notes: Child - Abigail Sutton

Her marriage Bond states that she is from NY City. Internet sources have identified her parents as Benjamin and Elena Sutton of North Castle, Westchester Cty. This would mean that Abigail's sister, Mary, was married (in 1857) to William Underhill, who was to become a prominent loyalist. William Underhill and his wife left for New Brunswick after the Revolutionary War. In light of the fact that I have found no hard record identifying her husband, William as the father of William H., this loyalist connection is an important reason for assigning William as the father. There is some evidence to suggest that William H's father was a loyalist (see his entry). Another reason to attach William as the father of William H. is that William H. was a life long member of the Brick Church, where William married Abigail. The addition of the middle name could have served to distinguish William H. from his father. The fact that the William Harrison, "wagoner to his Majesty's Royal Artillery" ( according to the marriage license) who married Sarah Bennet, did so at Trinity Church, rather than the Brick Church, would seem to distinguish these two Williams. However, according to "A History of the Brick Presbyterian Church in the City of New York" by Shephard Knapp(1909), at the time of William's marriage to Sarah in 1780, the Brick Church had been seized by the British, who were using it as a hospital. The Trinity Church was only a few blocks away. It is well documented that Sarah Harrison, who married William Callender, is the sister of William H. Harrison. William H. Harrison mentioned his sister Mary Goldsborough in his will. Mary's daughter Margaret mentions her aunt Sarah Callender in her will. There is a big gap, then, in age between William and Mary (born 1764) and their sister Sarah (born 1780). Taking these facts together, the close association of birth dates with marriages and the name Sarah for both mother and daughter argue strongly for Sarah being the product of William's second marriage. The dates of the marriage and William H.'s birth suggest that Abigail and William married because of a pregnancy. This appears to have been a pattern followed by William with his second marriage and by his son William H. with his marriage (see the entry for his wife Catherine Van Alstyne). Such situations were more common at that time and not as scandalous as in later eras. Another reason to connect William as William H 's father is that William H's daughter Catherine married Hart Sands, whose grandmother, Mary Sands, married a Sutton from Mamaroneck (a family connected to the Suttons of North Castle). This means that Hart may have met Catherine Harrison , whose grandmother was a Sutton, via his connection to the Sutton family (his step grandfather having, also, been a Sutton).

Her father Benjamin Sutton refers to her in his will in 1759 as being not yet 13. I am assuming she died before 1780 because William married Sarah Bennet in 1780.
