A pedigree, [17 cent, last ¼], of Hugh Jones of Bottegir [Bodtegir], [Betws Gwerful Goch, Denbighshire], reciting his paternal ancestors back to Adam. This may be the Hugh Jones buried at Betws Gwerful Goch on 2 January 1716.
The pedigree is said to be based on the work of Gutun Owain ('Thus by Gyttyn Owens booke who flourished in King Henry the seaven his time'); the earlier portions, listing mythical and legendary kings of Britain (after Geoffrey of Monmouth), the descendants of Brutus and Eneas Ysgwyddwyn [Aeneas], figures from Roman mythology and the Biblical Patriarchs from Noah to Adam, closely mirrors Gutun Owain's genealogical text in NLW MS 3026C, pp. 63-81. More recent generations consist of mostly genuine rulers of Powys, descended from Kasnar Waledig [Casnar Wledig]. The pedigree is not recorded in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996).
