There are a few generations missing in the lineage, but I'm not sure where. Wolcott's article identifies the problem and suggests resolutions for some descendants but doesn't mention the Walter who was living in 1298.

“Cadifor, another of the sons of Gwrgan, possessed himself of the lordship of Glyntawe in Breconshire, and part of Gower in Glamorganshire, though how he acquired them does not appear; his son Griffith Gwyr or Griffith of Gower had a mesne lordship and lands in that tract; he left numerous descendants in Glamorganshire, who assumed various sirnames; among them is the family of Jones of Fonmon, who still bears the arms of his ancestor Bleddin ap Maenarch, sable a chevron between three spear’s heads argent, their points imbrued with blood proper.”
“From Cadivor, the third son of Gwrgan, are descended the Powels of Cantreff, Swansea and Peterstone in Breconshire, Power of Maesmawr and Jones of Trebinshwn, now extinct and Howel, the fourth son, was the ancestor of the family of Sais of Boverton and Swansea.”
History of the County of Brecknock, Theophilus Jones, 98, 99
