For the families who lived in Rûg up to the Vaughan and Wynn periods, particularly the Salusbury family (of Bachymbyd, Denbs.), see the article (by B. G. Owens) in N.L.W. Jnl., vi, 104-6, and the N.L.W. catalogues of that library which describe the Rûg and lord Bagot muniments. PIERS SALUSBURY came to own the lordship of Rûg, by right of his wife, early in the 16th cent. His son, ROBERT SALUSBURY, bought, in 1549, the lordship of Glyndyfrdwy, part of the patrimony of Owain Glyndŵr; see in N.L. W. Jnl., iii, 48, a description of a document in the lord Bagot collection recording the transfer by Glyndŵr, in 1392, of a tract of land.

As already noted, the old family home of this branch of the Wynn family is Boduan. Details concerning the branch are given in the usual books on the landed gentry, e.g. Burke, Nicholas, etc. For the pedigree see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 59, 171 (note), 173. JOHN WYNN, of Bodvel (which is near Boduan), who was high sheriff of Caernarvonshire in 1551 and 1560, was standard-bearer for Edward VI in the fighting near Norwich against Ket and his co-rebels in 1594; he received Bardsey Island as a gift in honour of his bravery (N.L.W. Jnl., vi, 106). John Wynn's wife was a member of the Puleston family. He was followed by his son THOMAS WYNN (d. 1673), Boduan. This Thomas Wynn's grandson became Sir THOMAS WYNN (d. 1749), 1st baronet, and it was he who married FRANCES GLYN, heiress of Glynllifon; their grandson was the Sir THOMAS WYNN (d. 1807) who was created (1776) 1st baron Newborough. For further details see an article (by E. D. Jones) in N.L.W. Jnl., vi, 176-81.
