Jonet Stanley of Hooton

Chronicle of this board

Stanley blood into Griffith of Wales

Jonet, daughter of Sir William Stanley of Hooton, married Gwilym ap Gruffydd and became the engine of the family's Welsh expansion. The Penrhyn manuscripts record the profitable connection that brought the 'lands of Paris' (Parys Mountain) toward her son.

This is the dossier's Welsh chokepoint: Stanley of Hooton into Griffith of Penrhyn, later into Joan Troutbeck, later into Owen Humphrey, later into Rebecca Owen of Pennsylvania. Cadet blood. Not the Audley writ.

Cadet land-carrier. Hooton, not Heighley.

Wardrobe

Lancastrian teal and gold, ermine lining, hair in a jeweled caul, a stag-head brooch. Welsh and Cheshire luxury, not Staffordshire stone.

Weapons · animals · lands

Marriage to Gwilym ap Gruffydd. The Penrhyn manuscripts.

None of the Wirral chase; the stag is already on the shield.
