Lewis Gwynne ap Cadwallader married Sidney Wynne, daughter of Robert Wynne and Catherine Lloyd.
Lewis died in 1663 in Bala, Merioneth.
Winston Guthrie Jones in The Wynnes of Sligo & Leitrim preface states:
This book attempts to trace the history of the Sligo family of Wynne of Hazelwood from its origins in 12th century Wales to its extinction, due to the failure of male heirs, in 1910. The then head of the family left Wales and established himself in Ireland in 1658, so that the larger part of the book, which is concerned with Ireland, covers a period of nearly three hundred years. The Hazelwood estate, with which the family is principally associated, was acquired in 1722.
The primary sources on which this history is based consist of four collections of manuscripts. The first is a collection of documents, particularly letters, and papers relating to the property, which is in the possession of the present day members of the family. The documents quoted from this collection are here published for the first time. Secondly, the Public Record Office in Belfast has four volumes of documents relating to the service of the family in the Wars of William 111 and Marlborough. Thirdly, the manuscripts, printed books and newspapers in the Sligo County Library contain much information about the family. Fourthly, the National Library of Ireland has a collection of Wynne papers, chiefly conveyances and estate accounts.
References to Wood-Martin and O'Rorke refer to their respective histories (published in 1882 and 1889) of the town and County of Sligo.
For three hundred years, the head of the Wynne family, with one exception, bore the forename of Owen. In this book those named Owen have been numbered 1 to VI. The exception is John Arthur Wynne whose elder brother was named Owen but who died young within the lifetime of his father.
Welsh Ancestry
The family of Wynne with which this book is concerned came to Ireland from Wales in 1658 after acquiring extensive lands around Lurganboy, Co. Leitrim. Their home in Wales had been at Bala in the old county of Merioneth, now part of the larger county of Gwynedd. The family was prominent in that part of Wales. They owned nearly 2000 acres stretching along the northern shore of Lake Bala. Their house was Plas-yri-dre situated at the centre of the little township. The country was sheep-raising, the wool being used for the cottage industry of spinning and weaving, while the bulk of it was carried on pack-horses to the English markets at Oswestry and Shrewsbury.
The family of Plas-yn-dre traced its ancestry back through ten generations to a 12th century chieftain named Rhirid Flaidd ('Rhirid the Wolf'). Rhirid received bardic praise for killing Saxons, as the Welsh called the invaders of their country. True, the rank and file were Saxons but their leaders were the far more formidable Norman lords. Chieftains, like Rhirid and his contemporary Owen Gwynedd, who styled himself Prince, and their descendants succeeded in beating off the Normans during a period of a hundred and fifty years until in 1282 King Edward I conquered the whole of Wales and killed the last independent Prince of Wales in battle.
The descendants of Owen Gwynedd became the family of Wynn of Gwydir. Gwydir Castle, built in about 1500, stands on the river Conwy near the town of Llanrwst. By 1600 the head of the family of Gwydir was Sir John Wynn, one of the Welsh magnates who rose to Power while the Tudors wore the crown. The families of Plas-yn-dre and Gwydir twice intermarried. On the second occasion Lewis Gwynne of Plas-yn-dre (the names Gwynne and Wynne are interchangeable) married the niece of Sir John Wynne. Lewis's eldest son was Owen Wynne, the subject of the next chapter, who obtained the grant of land in Ireland and became the ancestor of the Wynnes of Hazelwood.
The coat of arms of the Wynne family displays three wolves' heads on the shield. These refer to the wolf in Rhirid Flaidd's name and they are found in the arms of other families descended from the same ancestor. The Wynne's motto is "Non sibi sed toti" - ' not for oneself but for all."
After a hundred and fifty years the Wynnes of Hazelwood forgot the details of their Welsh origins until in about 1800 when the then Owen Wynne and his brothers enquired into the matter. This was done partly out of a natural interest in knowing who were their forbears and partly because it was thought that Owen might just be entitled to the Gwydir baronetcy. There was no foundation for this belief. Nevertheless their researchers led them back to Owen Gwynedd and Rhirid Flaidd, ancestors of whom they must have felt justifiably proud.
