Do you have any further information on John Jones Jenkins ancestry? Family lore has it that the First Lord Glantawe was the brother of my gg grandmother.

Following the comment by Peggy Horn that she might be related to him, I also have family stories that we are also related. It's a bit complicated but I hope interesting I have lots more if of interest,
