Biography
"THE family of Rhys, descended from the south house of Rhys, emigrated from Wales to England in 1599, and changed the spelling of the name to Rees. They were of Presbyterian faith, and were at the siege of Londonderry and the battle of the Boyne, in 1688.
"Sir David Rees was a lineal descendant of Lord Rhys, of Dinevwar, and married Gwellion, daughter of Griffith Konan, King of Wales.
"Sir Thomas Rees, son of Sir David, of South Wales, married Mawd, daughter of Sir William de Brewys, who was the great-grandson of Bellyt, some time Emperor of Great Britain.
"Sir David Ap Rees, son of Sir Thomas, married Gladys, daughter of Redwallon, Prince of Powis.
'Rev. David Ap Rees was pastor of a Presbyterian congregation at Southwark. His son. Rev. David Ap Rees, was pastor of a Presbyterian congregation at Cardigan. He married Maud, daughter of Sir Meridith Owen, of South Wales." [1]
