The Penry family,

The relationship of the Penry family to the James family has not as yet been established, but it probably stems from the marriage of Jonah Bowen Evan's sister, Elizabeth, to William Winstone. The letters of Mary Penry from Pennsylvania to her relatives in Breconshire are fulsome, to say the least. She was a member of the Brethren, and a deeply spiritual person.

The Probert family,

Evan Probert (?1764-1827) was possibly the son of Evan and Margaret Probert; if so, he was baptised in Rhaeadr in 1764, and came of a line traceable back to David Probert of Worcester. He married Anne Beale, daughter of the Rev. William Beale, curate of Newent. He was the brother of Jane who married into the James family, and of Emma who married into the Bowring family. Evan resided first at Painswick, co. Glouc., and then at Kempsey, co. Worcs, where he kept a school. He suffered mental illness and died in 1827 whilst an inmate of Gloucester Asylum. No's 1445-1456 are papers primarily relating to Henry Probert (d. 1841), the eldest son of Evan Probert, jnr. He married Lucy Thomas (d. 1832), daughter of Elizabeth Thomas of Hereford. In the autumn of 1826, Henry went to work abroad as a medical man. In 1827, he was private secretary to Colonel King, governor of Heligoland. No children of the marriage are known. No's 1457-1508 are papers primarily relating to Emma Bowring (née Probert) (1794-1870). She was born at Painswick, co. Glouc., on 8 May 1794, the daughter of Evan and Ann Probert. Emma married John Raphael Bowring on 21 June 1827 at Flaxley, co. Glouc., and they had at least two children. She died on 2 Dec. 1870 and was buried in her husband's grave in Liverpool's Anfield cemetery (Church section 7, no. 494).
