Lewis BLAYNEY (Lodovicus BLAYNEY)
born c.1545 died 1601
of Gregynog Hall, Montgomery, Powys
Deputy Sheriff of Montgommeryshire to his father David Lloyd BLAYNEY in 1577 and 1585. [79]
Given as the eldest son and the "honest heir" by Lewys Dwnn [81] and Siams Dwnn endorsed "his bravery in the face of enemies and declared that "no one ever saw him sad of face".
In order to identify a possible Blayney ancestor, I have followed each son with known descendants [10].
Lewis is descended to Arthur BLAYNEY of Gregynog who died at Gregynog in 1795, a bachelor with no issue [04].
