The Thomas Blayney African link - [1]
Thomas Blayney married Anna Jones - an African connection
The Blayney-Percival link is frequently listed on the Internet, particularly [838], but the eldest Thomas is not linked to any known Welsh or Irish Blayney. However, from family name deductions, it is possible to postulate some candidates.
1 Thomas BLAYNEY son (or grandson) of a Richard [154], b~1690/1700 [801]; Alive 1758 with a "Richard" father or grandfather.
Could this be the same as the Richard BLAYNEY of Broseley bpt 1645 [145]?
However S P Thomas has Richard BLAYNEY of Llwyn Coch, Bettws Cedewain as having a son Thomas Blayney (who married Anna in 1717)
with his penultimate wife Margaret Worthington
(1st wife according to S P Thomas [226], but now most likely his second wife [801]).
