WILLIAMS, Henry (c.1579-1636), of Gwernyfed, Aberllyfni, Brec.

Williams inherited the Breconshire estates of his father the judge, while a younger brother came into the English possessions. He had not long come of age when he was returned to his first Parliament, no doubt because his father was recorder of Brecon. He died in 1636. He is sometimes confused with his son and namesake who succeeded to the county representation in 1628 and became a baronet in 1644.T. Jones, Brec. iii. 81-3, 92; Arch. Camb. (ser. 4), i. 307-8.
