NOTE: After viewing an array of family trees, it seems that there are two clearly defined lines, with Dafydd's son Morgan having two sons with different mothers (offspring Llewlyen and Ieuen); however, at various points along the line of descent, there seems to be some "overlapping" or juxtaposition of one line with another.
For instance, several trees show ascent from:
Thomas Gaines and Blanch Kemis/Kemeys to
Thomas Gaines and Jane Harvard/Havard,
then to John Gaines and Elizabeth Vaughan/Vaughn,
and then to Edward Gaines (b. 1564 who apparently descends Morgan Gam and wife Tanglwist)
But, several other trees show the line from
Thomas Gaines and Blanch Kemis/Kemeys,
to John Gaines and Wilford Awbrey,
then to John Gaines and Elinor Morgan,
and then to Thomas Gaines (b. abt 1535 who apparently descended from Morgan Gam and second wife Margaret Verch Llwyd/Lloyd)
So my my tree at this time is only reflecting what appears to be the "best scenario" thus far. It seems clear that all descend from Dafydd and Gwenillan and their son Morgan, but it is unclear to me at that point. Assistance would be appreciated!
