Pugh Genealogy











THE PUGH LINE




The following Pugh connection to royalty was mailed to me several years ago, and have never checked the validity of it yet. I will add it here, but am in no way claiming this for fact. Simply a direction to investigate.

ELLIS PUGH, our ancestor, is supposedly connected to Royalty as follows:

1. John, King of England b. Oxford 24 Dec 1167 d. Oct 18/19, 1216, wed 2nd Queen Isabella, parents of:

2. Lady Eleanor Plantagenet who m. 2nd Simon De Montfort, Earl of Leicester, parents of:

3. Lady Eleanor De Montefort m. Llewellyn Gryffyth, last sovereign Prince of Wales 1232, parents of:

4. Lady Catherine m. Philip Ivor, Lord of Iscoed, parents of:

5. Lady Eleanor m. Thomas Llewellyn of Trefgarned, parents of:

6. Lady Eleanor m. Gryffyth Vychan, Lord of Glyndyfrdwy, parents of:

a. Jane Hughs m. William John
b. JOHN AP HUGH or JOHN PUGH , father of:
1. ELLIS PUGH of Gwynedd, Pennsylvania (Our connection)

c. Ellin Hughs d. 1733 m. Edward Ffoulke


Note: King John's line goes back to many lines of Royalty, and he is also descended from William to Conqueror who was b. 1027 add. 7 Sep 1087, m. ca 1053 to Matilda of Flanders. King John of England b. Oxrford 24 Dec 1167, youngest son of Henry II an Eleanor of Aquitane. He was King from 1199 to 1216. He was wed to 1) Isabella of Gloucester. She was never crowned and in 1199 the marriage was dissolved on grounds of consanguinity, both parties being great-grand children of Henry I. King John wed 2) to Isabella the heiress to Angouleme in Aug 1200. King John d. Oct 18/19 1216. John's reputation, bad at his death, was further depressed by writers of the next generaton. Of all centuries, only the 16th, recognized some of his quality. He was suspicious, vengeful, and treacherous. He had Arthur I of Brittany murdered in captivity, and Matilda de Braose, wife of a Marcher baron starved to death with her son in a royal prison. Joh was cultured and literate. He was extraordinarily active, with a great love of hunting and travel. If his character was unreliable, his political judgment was acute. In 1215, many barons including some of the most distinguished, fought by his side.

His father died before his birth and his mother a few days after it. Ellis and his wife came to Pennsylvania in 1687. He was a Quaker preacher and wirter.

Note: Taken from Biographical Memoirs, 1700-1750, pg 259: ELLIS PUGH....He was born at Dolgelly, in Merionethshire, in the year 1656. At the age of 18 he was convinced of the principles of Friends through the ministry of John ap John, and six years afterwards spoke as a minister of the gospel. He removed to Pennsylvania in 1687, and with several of his countrymen settled at Gwynned, where his gospel services appear to have been much blessed to his friends. "His pious labours," they remark, "have been profitable in directing and edifying us in the way of truth; for by the tenderness and influence which came as dew upon our souls, while we sat under his ministry, we believed his doctrine was of God. "He was", they added, "of a meek and quiet spirit, considerate and solid in his judgment, of few words, honest and careful in his calling, honourable among his friends, and of good report among people generally." In 1706 he went on a gospel visit to Great Britian, which occupied him about two years, and short time previous to his decease, he wrote his "Salutation to Britons", a piece which has been widely circulated, and shows him to have been largely experienced in divine things. He died in 1718 at the age of sixty-two.



Taken from "Quaker Bio. Sketches by Heiss, pg 71: ELLIS PUGH...He was born sixth month, 1656. his parents were religious characters, but his father dying before his birth, and his mother a few days after, he was left to grow up without the guarding care and oversight which piously concerned parents can extend over their offspring.
