History
Robert Lloyd was the first of his family to live at Aston (or Estyn) in the lordship of Oswestry, Shropshire. He was the son of Robert Lloyd of Park Promise, and Gwenhwyfar his wife, daughter of William Edwards of Plas Newydd, constable of Chirk Castle, and one of Henry VIII's bodyguard. His son, Andrew Lloyd, was a captain in Oliver Cromwell's army. Andrew's son, Thomas Lloyd, married Sarah, daughter and co-heir of Francis Albany, a London merchant and owner of the lordship of Whittington. Thomas was succeeded by his son Robert Lloyd, MP for Shropshire, who was succeeded by his son, another Robert Lloyd (d. unmarried 1734), who was also an MP for Shropshire.
On the death of Robert Lloyd the younger, the estate passed to the family of his father's sister, Elizabeth, who had married Foulke Lloyd of Foxhall in the parish of Henllan, Denbighshire. Two elder sons dying without issue, the estate passed to Rosindale Lloyd, to his son, the Rev. Wiiliam Lloyd, and his son, Rev. John Robert Lloyd (d. 1803). William Lloyd (d. 1843) of Aston, the son of Rev. John Robert Lloyd, married Louisa, eldest daughter of Admiral Eliab Harvey (1758-1830) of Rolls Park, MP for Essex.
