| 1. | Sir Henry Williams of Gwernyfed or Gwernevet (d 21.10.1636) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 identifies this Sir Henry as the 1st baronet but a note in TCB (vol 2, 'Williams of Gwernevet', p224), which supports the following, reports that Henry "is often (erroneously) called the 1st Baronet, but was dead eight years before the creation of that dignity". | |||||||||||||||
| m. Eleanor Whitney (dau of Eustace Whitney of Whitney) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Sir Henry Williams, 1st Bart of Gwernyfed (b c1607, d by 1652) | ||||||||||||||

| The following is partly supported by TCB (vol 2, 'Williams of Gwernevet', p225+). | |||||||||||||||
| A. | David Williams of Cornden/Corneden (b c1612-3, d 18.01.1698) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 identifies David as younger son rather than nephew of Sir Henry. We provisionally follow BLG1952. | |||||||||||||||
| m. _ Carew (dau of Sir Matthew Carew) | |||||||||||||||
| i. | David Williams of Hereford & Corneden in Winchcombe (b c1651, dsp 27.11.1709, 2nd son?) | ||||||||||||||

| a. | Gilbert Williams of Rose Hall and Clifford Court (b c1692, bur 09.04.1768, vicar of Sarratt then Islington) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841, which shows Gilbert's grandfather as a son of the 1st baronet, identifies Gilbert and his successors as baronets. We provisionally follow BLG1952 which does not.
