71Rowland Morgan of Machen marries Blanche (described here as the only daughter, by his first wife, of Will. Jenkin, but elsewhere described as the daughter of Thomas Jones of Treowen). 

Rowland was Sheriff of the county in 1558. Like many Welsh families, the Morgans had prospered through their support of the victor at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. A gold "sovereign" coin of King Henry VII shows him seated on a throne with a Welsh dragon atop one of its side pillars in acknowledgment of his Welsh roots.
