Hi to the list I am currently looking at the family and descendants of Jenkin Batman of Honeyborough who was living there in the late 1400s / early 1500s. Jenkin Batman > John > William (m Jane Laugharne of St Bride's) > Philip Batman. Philip Batman of Honeyborough married Jane Wogan (d/o Sir John Wogan and Maude Klement). Philip had the following: Thomas Batman m (1) Jane Wogan, (2) Katrin Ryd (3) Alson Martin with Margaret Ginlytes as a possible mistress John Batman m Sian (Jane) verch John ap David ap Gwilym ap Rys of Lystyn William m SGOFEN of Ros (parents of Hari Batman) This information was taken from a family tree prepared by John Batman in 1591 (provided by Bettye Kirkwood .... thank you!). My question is: who or what is SGOFEN? I can find nothing on the web to indicate that this is a person's name, nor that it is the name of a place. I presume Ros is RHOS near Milford Haven. Delighted to hear from anyone who has any ideas. Cheers Lynne Simpson Canberra Australi
