Robert's 2nd son [240]]. Bur.19Jun1614 Berriew
+ Dorothy of Fachir
---NOTE: As the following children of Morris BLAYNEY listed in the baptismal entries at Berriew
include two siblings born after the death of Morris Blayney (in 1614), so they must be
his grandchildren, not be his children. S.P. Thomas [226] also postulates a missing
son of Morris, also named Morris, which would resolve this issue. ie:
6 Morris BLAYNEY (presumed/postulated) [226] b~1580 (= my guess)

Comment 1:
Vaynor grant from Richard, Duke of York
In 1459 Howel ap Ievan was granted the corn and fulling mills of Eberrewe (Berriew) by Richard, Duke of York [240]]. A.P. Thomas concluded that this Howel ap Evan was Howel ap Ievan BLAYNEY not Hywel ap Evan LLOYD as the dates fit the Blayney and Howell ap Evan Blayney's younger brother Owen of Aberbechan was Deputy Steward to the above Duke for his manor of Cedewain and later a squire of the Body to the Duke's eldest son, Edward IV AND the family still owned the mills in Berriew over a century later. However the Vaynor Park estate, records in the National Library of Wales state that Howel ap Ievan was succeeded by his son, Edward ap Hywel ap Ieuan Llwyd who built a house on the estate [308].
The "Visitations of Wales" reveals that this Howell ap Evan was son of Evan Lloyd of Vaynor, the son of Phillip Goch ap Howell ap Llewelyn ap Meilir Gryg [145] [496]. Meilir Gryg was the gt-gt-gt-gt-grandfather Evan Blayney of Gregynog, the father of the Howell of this page. Therefore Edward, the house builder of Vaynor Park is the 4th cousin of Evan Blayney (4th cousin once removed to Howell).
The Vaynor Park Estate records also show that Edward was succeeded by his son, Richard ap Edward, who died leaving his daughters Anne and Elizabeth as co-heiresses. The portion of Elizabeth became the property, "presumably by purchase", of Arthur Pryce of Vaynor (younger brother of John PRYCE of Newtown, the grandfather of the 1st Baronet and father-in-law of Lewis BLAYNEY). The estate then passed to the Devereux family on the marriage of Arthur's granddaughter Bridget to George Devereux, the grandfather of Pryce Devereux, 9th Viscount Hereford [308]. Arthur's sister, Joyce PRYCE married Owen BLAYNEY Esq. JP of Ystymgwern / Stingwern, so another Blayney connection exists!
