Samuel Winthorpe, Esq., visiting Holland, espoused there a Dutch lady, (whose name we have not been able to ascertain,) with whom he immediately afterwards emigrated to Antigua, and died there about 1675. He left by his wife a numerous progeny of sons and daughters, among whom, Samuel, Joseph, and Henry, inherited a large estate from their father, but who (by means, it is said, little creditable to the parties concerned to relate) were deprived of their patrimony, and, consequently, their place and station in that insular community. The daughters married into some of the best Antiguan families, and became the ancestresses of the Williams, Thomas, and Ffry families. For further particulars of the Winthorpe family, the reader may consult “Mathew’s History of New England,” and “Farmer’s Genealogical Register” of that settlement, as well as later works upon the United States of North America. No. 4. GENEALOGY OF THE BYAM FAMILY. Lieut.-Gen. William Byam was descended in a direct line, on his father’s side, from Caradoc Vraich Vras, Earl of Hereford, Lord of Radnor, one of the knights of the celebrated Round Table of King Arthur, (a.d. 540,) who himself sung his praises, emphatically styling him one of the “Pillars of Britain.” He was founder of a dynasty of princes not extinguished till after the Norman invasion, when Blethin, the last of the regal order, was slain by Bernard Newmarch, near Brecknock, in 1094, and his territory appropriated to himself and parcelled out amongst his followers. His son, Cawrdave, was equally, if not more celebrated than his father, being also extolled in the Triads, and, like King Arthur himself chosen (besides the enjoyment of his own territory) to be “Unbennaeth,” or supreme monarch of Britain. Caw succeeded his father in his patrimonial inheritance, at this time entitled the Principality of Ferlex and Brecon; and Gloyw succeeded him; and Hoyw him, flourishing a.d. 640. Kynvard, regulus of Ferlex and Brecon, succeeded his father, Hoyw; and Kyndeg, who was contemporary with Cadwallader, and lived a.d. 703, succeeded him. Teithwalch, his son, gained a signal victory over his rival, the Mercian king, at Carno, in Brecknockshire, (opposite to the village of Crickhowell,) and in commemoration of which an immense circle and pile of stones is to be seen to this day. But the encroachment of the Saxons in his son Tegyd’s time became more formidable than ever, considerably circumscribing his limits, that had originally embraced all the territories lying between the two rivers of Wye and Severn; and Tangwyd, his son, succeeded to very straitened limits, being reduced to the lordship of Radnor, with parts of Montgomery and Brecon; and
