----------------------------------------

Remember when we decussed to great length Coed y Foel's locale. Found the
correct answer:

Welsh Founders of PA by Glen, vol 2, p.86-7 says "John Wynne is the gr-son
of Thomas Wynne who is proved to have m. the other dau of Cadwaladr ap
Maredydd and held the other half of Coed y Foel in 1698. the place was
known as Coed y Foel Isaf and Coed y Foel Uchaf (lowest and uppermost)
there after. Coed y Foel adjoins Fron Goch."

Cadwaladr ap Maredydd had another dau who inherited the other half of Coed
y Foel. She was Jane who m. Evan Robert Lewis.

Another place to visit for sure!

p. 87 says that the mother of Cadwaladr ap Maredydd was Elin, d/o Cadwaladr
ap Robert of Rhiwlas, son of Sir Robert ap Rhys of Yspytty Evan. (It then
says to see the Roberts line)

p. 24: Cadwaladr ap Robert, 3rd son of Sir Robert ap Rhys ...had a lease
for the "Grange of Penllyn" consisting of Rhiwlas and other lands near
Bala. Cadwaladr ap Robert, called of Plas yn Rhiwlas which formed a part
of the "Grange of Penllyn m. Jane, d/o Maredydd Wynn ap Ieuan ap Robert of
Gwydir and had 6 sons & 7 dau. John the eldest son assumed the surname of
Wynn. He inherited Plas yn Rhiwlas adn was High Sheriff of Merionethshire
in 1577 & 1588. HIs eldest son, Cadwaladr assumed the surname of Pryse or
Price which was retained by his descendants and the family still own and
reside at Plas yn Rhiwlas.

(MY note: This seems to say this is the Price family that owned the
Rhiwlas Estate.)

I knew these little farms near Fron Goch were related!! If I am correct
--we are related to the Price family!

Thanks for the Foulke site --VERY interesting.

For those you may wish to know, Coed y Foel (literally --according to my books
-- "trees of the baretopped hill." An enigma!) is VERY near Fron Goch. The
problem is that I see TWO, with an additional word on each.

I find Coed-y-foel-isaf between Bala and Frongoch (the town) on a road (B4501)
just east and paralleling A4212 which rund from Bala to Frongoch. It appears
to be about 2 1/2 miles north of Bala. On the same road and even closer
(maybe
a mile) form Bala is Rhiwlas, antoher tiny place.

Coed-y-foel-uchaf is on the same road a bit north of Frongoch.

>From the site Beth shared with us, I would say Coed-y-foel is the first one
mentioned, for certain.

Obviously there are a few scalped hillsides with trees around! <G>

Llanderfel, mentioned under XV. THOMAS at the site is located east of Bala and
sourth of the highway A494. It is a town on route B4401...about 6 miles from
Bala, if I recall correctly. It is near the old Mill B & B where I stayed.
I'm not able to spot a Coed y foel in this area.
