Aubrey Clark described an ancient and very full pedigree of the Awbreys iu his possession. From a copy of certain parts of it, with which that gentleman favoured me, it appears to have been drawn in the year 1633, for Richard Awbrey, of Llanelieu. This Richard, according to pedigree, which is not likely to be inaccurate, in these later generations at any rate, was grandson of " William Awbrey of Aberkynrig," by his wife, " Jane da. to Sir Richard Herbert of Powys knt." (the Herbert pedigree is fully put out), and son of "Richard Awbrey of Aberkynrig," by his wife, "Margaret da. to Thomas Gunter of Shilston Esq." (read, "of Gileston in par. of Llanfigan.") No collaterals are inserted : the pedigree is only concerned with showing the main line of descent— according to English notions, a descent of great respectability, as carrying the representation of the eldest male bine of the Breconshire Awbreys ; the descendants of Dr. Awbrey, for instance, represent¬ ing only a younger son. Richard Awbrey, of Llanelieu, living 1633, married " Ann da. and heir to William Vaughan of Llanelyw." Jones (Vol. II., p, 366) notes a stone, in Llanelieu Church, near the Communion Table, in memory of " Richard Awbrey of Llanelieu, gent., who married Ann dau. to Wm. Vaughan &cc, they had issue William, Richard, Thomas, John, Theophilus, and Elizabeth. He died Sept. 29, 1645." William Awbrey, his eldest son, living 1633, married " Jonet dau. to Gwillim.
