Our tree was compiled by Robert Edward Evan Wyllie (1873-1961) about
1950. He was the grandson of Capt. Robert E. Wyllie (1807-1872) of
Kilmarnoch, Ayrshire, Scotland & Catherine Maria Jones 1821-1888) of Llynon
Hall, Llanddeusant, Anglesey, Wales. (Perhaps with some help from Rev.
Robert Dawson (1877- ?) also a grandson Robert & Catherine. Catherine Jones
is the great granddaughter of Rev. Humphrey Herbert Jones (1709-1795) of
Llanfaethlu, Anglesey & Mary Bennett (1713-1802) of Llanrhyddlad. One of the
sources mentioned by Robert Wyllie is the herald Lewis Dwnn who gave the
pedigree of Sir William Jones of Castellmarch. Robert Wyllie also states:
"From the present time back to Robert Jones, fourth son of Sir William
Jones, authority is in the family records, supplemented by various Welsh
genealogical works. There can be no doubt as to the accuracy of this
portion of the pedigree".
Well there is some doubt as the pedigree differs from that of Griffith's
"Pedigrees of Anglesey..." Also no spouses are given for the
Robert>Humphrey>Humphrey between Sir William Jones and Rev. Humphrey Herbert
Jones b1709. On the other hand Griffith's error of James Jones christened
1705 and his grandson christened 1709 is a big problem.
