It is my understanding the "Llwyn Coed" is the name of the family farm. As of July 2007 a distant cousin, who still lives at Llwyn coed, Wales, provided my with our family history from 1650. Here is the information that I just learned about: SION OWEN WILLIAM lived at Bwlch Gwynog, which is part of Llwyn Coed. His son IFAN SION married ELINSION, and their daughter MARGARET ACH IFAN (1715-1805) married MICHAEL JONES (1726-1772) and they lived at Llwyn Coed and together had 3 children: OWEN MICHAEL, IFAN MICHAEL & SION MICHAEL. I am a descendant of OWEN MICHAEL(1750-1841) MARGIAD. Their son JOHN OWEN was the next to live at Llwyn Coed. He married Gwen and they had 7 children: Richard Owen, born Abt. 1824 Llanrug Owen Owen, born Bef. 1830 Llanrug Cathere Owen, born Abt. 1830 Llanrug John Owen, born Abt. 1833 Llanrug Michael Owen, born Abt. 1836 Llanrug William Owen, born Abt 1839 Llanrug Mary Owen, born Abt. 1844 Llanrug Their son MICHAEL OWEN (1836-1895) and his wife JANE(nee GRIFFITH) married about 1870 and raised their 9 children at Llwyn Coed.
