Biography

Thomas Kemeys of Newport was "father of a daughter Sybilla, who married Morgan Mathew of St.-y-nill, Glamorganshire."^[1]

Pedigree quoted from Arnold Harris Mathew, The life of Sir Tobie Matthew, Bacon's alter ego (1907), pp. 364-65:

"In the Genealogies of Glamorgan, Mr. G. T. Clark states (p. 26) that 'Tobias Matthew, Archbishop of York, is said to have been a great-grandson of Morrice Matthew of Roos.' This statement is, no doubt, accurate ; and in that case, other pedigrees of the Archbishop are wrong, and the following is his correct lineage.

1. Sir Matthew ap Jevan of Llandaff (4 and 21 Richard II.) m. Janet, d. and h. of Richard Fleming of Penlyne. She bore Gules, a fret or, over all a fess azure. Their eldest son was Sir David Matthew of Llandaff, Standard-bearer to Edward IV., from whom the Llandaff, the Radyr, the Irish, and other branches of the family descend. Their second son, Sir David's brother, was:

2. Robert Matthew, who settled at Castell-y-Mynach, in Pentyrch. He m. Alice, d. and co-h. of Jcnkin Thomas, descendant of Jestyn and the Lord of Ruthyn. They had two sons, the second of whom was :

3. Morgan (or Morrice) Matthew of St-y-Nill, who m. Sybil, d. of Sir Thomas Kemys of Newport, Mon. Their fifth son was :

4. James Matthew, who settled at Roos, near Cardiff, and m. Amy, d. of Sir Thomas Bawdrip, senr., of Odyn's Fee, in Penmark.
