History
GWYN, ---; b.; in under school lists 1715-8; left 1718. [Whitmore believed that this was“no doubt” Francis Gwyn, an elder brother of John Gwyn (qv); but although Francis Gwyn could certainly have been educated at the School, it seems unlikely that he is identifiable as the Gwyn who appears in under school lists 1715-8, for John Gwyn’s elder brother Francis Gwyn was already aged 18 when he matr. Christ Church, Oxford, 4 Jun 1717, so he can hardly still have been in the Under School in 1717-8. He was Fellow, All Souls Coll. 1721-4; BA 21 Feb 1721/2; MA 1727; adm. Middle Temple 3 Mar 1717/8, called to the bar 12 May 1727; of Llansannor, Glamorganshire, and Ford Abbey, Dorset (properties inherited from elder brother Edward Prideaux Gwyn in 1736); MP Wells 1741-54; m. 1st, May 1737 Lora, dau. of George Pitt, Strathfieldsaye, Hampshire; m. 2nd, 19 Dec 1751 Frances, dau. of Matthew Combe MD, Winchester; d. 17 Nov 1777] [Perhaps therefore the OW was Edmund Gwyn, an intervening brother, who was Lieut., Royal Navy, 11 Apr 1727, and d. 10 Jun 1733]
