- John White was third son of Robert Vychan of Talhenbont, ap Griffith, ap Howel, ap Madog. His surname seems hitherto to have been Wyn, but being in the service of the Earl of Pembroke A.D. 1565, who had another person in his household of the name of John Wyn, “for distinction’s sake, he (the Earl) desired this John Wyn ap Robert Vychan to call himself by the sirname of White, which his posterity have continued.” –Par. in Dwnn’s Account. Many names in Wales, apparently English, are similarly mere translations of the Welsh name. John White, or Wyn, m. Margaret, dau. of Jevan ap John ap Meredydd, and had a son, Richard White, who was Sheriff of Anglesey in the years 1568, 1582, 1594. “He purchased the Abbey of Llanfaes A.D. 1563.” – Meyrick. The Whites intermarried with the Bulkeleys of Beaumaris, Owens of Ysteumcedig, Wynns of Glynllivon, &c.
