In 1406 Ieuan Blayney was 18th on the list of burgesses for the charter of Welshpool. Another Ieuan Blayney appears as a Forester for "Hirthowel" (Rhyddhywel on the Radnor Montgomery border) for 1392-3 [226] so that Ievan Blayney is undoubtedly linked to Hoell BLAENE, ancestor of the Radnor/Evesham Blayneys, a family of separate origin but with occassional intermarriage with Evan's family].

Ieuan/Evan is the first recorded user of the "Blayney" name, and this is discussed in the Why the surname change to Blayney? section below.

He married Elen Vychan, [born 1385 in Mathafarn (Powys), and died in 1440]. They had three sons, OWEN (aka Owain) (b.1405), the eldest [72], from whom the Aberbechan Blayneys and Prices descend, GRIFFITH (aka Gruffudd) (b.1407), from whom both the Irish Blayney Lords and the Welsh Gregynog Blayneys descended and HOWELL (b.1411), from who Manafon and Ystumgwern (Stingwern) Blayneys descended.
  • These sons of Evan were the subject of quite a few Welsh poets [570].
  • Owen had a son Morris, who had a son Rees, who had a daughter Elizabeth Blayney, who married John Price, Sheriff of Montgomeryshire and their daughter, Bridget Price married Lewis Blayney, brother of the 1st Lord [75].

The French Connection
I had no idea as to why Evan may have been born in France, but Edward Liveing Fenn [1585] has him born in Franche-Comte (East France), well clear of the Battle of Pontvallain, the Siege of Limoges and other English-French battles of 1370.


However some Welsh are known to have fought as mercenairies with the French against the English such as followers of Owain Lawgoch aka Owain ap Thomas ap Rhodri (c.1330-1378), known by the French as Yvain de Galles, a descendant of Llywelyn the Great in the male line, so a claimant to the title of Prince of Gwynedd and of Wales [1587]. Owain's second-in-Command was Ieuan Wyn (known to the French as le Poursuivant d'Amour (pursuer of love), who shared ancesters with Griffith (Gruffydd) Ap Llywelyn Fychan (Evan's father) [1587].


Presumably Griffith was a member of the "Free Company" of Welshmen fighting with the French [1587] [1591] [1592] and had brought his wife Ellen (born in Maelor) with him to France when there was a lull in the fighting in 1369 and she stayed well away from the battles in west France. By 1371 Owain Lawgoch's company was based in Lorraine (just north of Franche-Comte) and is recorded to have contained men from Powys [1588]. 

According to Fenn, Evan had a brother Llewellyn Ddu FOEL who was apparently born at Y Somme Picardie in northern France 400km away [1586] (possibly on Gruffydd's way back to Wales).


Another possible motivation for Evan in assuming a surname (Blayney) could have been to reflect his allegiance to the English crown when he was an adult and not being known as Evan ap Gruffyd FYCHAM, and so at risk of land confiscation if he was perceived as a rebel supporter of Owain Glydŵr.

          Thomas' will describes the rectory inherited as "a messuage in the parish of Llaneithion" [145].
          According to K Mckenzie, this messuage can only have been Bettws, there being no church
          in Llaneithion and as yet no village called Bettws (it was clearly only later called Bettws 
          when houses grew up around the rectory/prayer house).  Bettws Hall, apart from the church
          itself, is the only demonstrably pre-1650s property in the area [145].

               This line then goes back to King Edward III 🎨 via

                b.1636 (Ucheldre, Bettws Cedewain); m~1675; d.1721 [226]
                While his baptism was at Westminster (St Margaret's, Westminster
                parish registers [145]), he appears to have moved to Bettws
                Cedewain, where all of his children were baptised and where he
                married Ann. [145].
                I agree with Kevin [145] that he is most certainly the Richard
                BLAYNEY, householder of Bettws Cedewain with a family of 
                eight in 1681, (five in 1686) noted in the "St Asaph Notitiae"
                [95] - see St Asaph Notitiae 
                Interestingly, he had a one hearth property in the 1671 Hearth
                Tax [342] which, according to Kevin, fits nearby Llwyn Coch 
                where Richard, calling himself "of Bettws" in his will, 
                died in 1721; bur 18Jun1721 (Bettws) [145].

                       The warehouse business was a partnership between
                       a Richard Blayney and one John Adamson, which was
                       dissolved in May 1789. It is undetermined if
                       this Richard of London was that Richard, or if it
                       was his 2nd cousin Richard (brother of our Thomas
                       mentioned below).
                       The haberdashery appears as "Blaney & Co" by 1784
                       and later "Richard Blayney & Co". Richard then took
                       on a partner, one James Smith, a qualified Merchant
                       Tailor so the business became "Blayney & Smith which
                       was dissolved in April 1787 to become just 
                       "James Smith" by 1788.
                       There is good evidence that Richard's 2nd cousin, 
                       Thomas Blayney came to work at 156 Cheapside
                       to learn the tailor trade.

                   as Rector of Kemmaes (above)
                   S P Thomas [226] gives the children as:
                9 Thomas BLAYNEY b~1690/1700
                 + Ann(e) JONES m.1717; bur.23Jan1731/2 
                   These are clearly (according to S P Thomas), the parents of:

                    ancestor of the African Blayney-Percival line.
                   

                   This Thomas is unlikely to be a different person than the Thomas Blayney (Wheelwright)

                   Ann(a) JONES as determined by by Kevin McKenzie and Terry Muff [801]

                 after Richard's death.
                 K McKenzie postulates that this Arthur HOWELL would have been the stepfather of Thomas BLAYNEY
                 (of Llanllwchaiarn) at the time of the birth of Thomas and Jane's son Arthur and thus 
                 the likely origin of this name in my branch of the Blayneys. He also
                 notes that Margaret, dau of Thomas (of Llanllwchaiarn) married a Howell[145] [72].
