• Notes

  Was the Captain of the Guard at the Coronation of Henery VIII, April 25, 1509. He was the High Sheriff of County Anglesey, which office he held until his death. From his name "Meyrick" signifying "Guardian" is derived as a surname, in pursuance of an act of Henery VIII, requiring that the name of every man at the time should be born by his decendants as a surname, there being no surnames before that time in Wales.
