On the sept of Bleddyn ap Maenarch, Lord of Brecknock when the Normans under New march attacked that country, A.D. 1091 or thereabouts, was David Evan Fwya (the "Greater" or perhaps "senior"), whose father was Gwilym Ddu. A junior gr. grandson of his, William ap David, founded the family of Nydfwch; and a senior gr. grandson, brother of the former, named Evan ap David, was of Penlle'rgaer. To Ean ap David succeeded at Penlle'rgaer his son Griffith, his grandson Rees, and gr. grandson John ap Rees, with whom originated the surname Price. He lived in the time of Elizabeth; m.

His son Griffith Price succeeded at Pnelle'rgaer, and was followed by four generations of his descendants (Thomas Price was Sherriff of Glamorganshire 1739), under the last of whom, Griffith Price, Esq., barrister-at-law, issue male failed.
