Maude Phillipps, wife of Richard Wogan of [Milton and of] Boulston, was daughter of Sir Thomas Phillipps, son of Philip ap Meredyth of Kilsant, who acquired Picton by marrying Jane daughter and coheir of Henry Dunn, who was slain at Edgecote 26th July, 1649, or beheaded at Banbury after the battle. The four husbands of Maude Phillipps are given page 171, vol. i., L.D. Owen Bared (see pedigree 32), Richiart Wgan, Morgan Jons, and Niklas Vachan. .Milton is near Neyland in Burton parish. There is a 16th century tomb in Burton Church bearing the initials R. W., under which Maude's second husband is believed to lie buried. Her third husband, Morgan Jones, was Sheriff for Pembrokeshire in 1547, and is described as of Milton. Her fourth husband was also so described when he served as Sheriff for Cardiganshire in 1561. (5.) This John Wogan I am disposed to think was the author of these genealogies. The following epitaphs may be seen on the wall of Boulston Church:—Here lieth interred the body of Sir John Wogan of Boulston, Knight, | The son of Sir John Wogan of Boulston, Knight, | The son of Richard Wogan of Boulston, Esq., I The son of Sir Henry Wogan of Boulston, Knight, | The son of Sir John Wogan of Wiston, Knight, | and so forward, | who departed this mortal life the 14th day of Feb., 16 . . | Here also lyeth interred the body of the Lady Prances Wogan, | wife of the aforesaid Sir John Wogan of Boulston, Knight, | who was daughter of Lewis Pollard of Kingsnimpton, | In the county of Devon, Esq., | Son of Sir Hugh Pollard of Kingsnimpton, Kinght, I and so forward, | who departed this life the 7th day of November, | Anno Domini 1623. On another stone is inscribed: The four great-grandfathers and the four great- grandmothers I of Lewis Wogan of Boulston, Esq., | were as followeth. I Sir John Wogan of Boulston, Knt., Pemb.; | Frances Pollard of Kingsnimpton, Devon ; | Sir Hugh Owen of Bodeon, Anglesea; | Elizabeth Wyrriott, Pemb.; | Sir Thomas Mansell of Margam, Glam.; | Mary Mordaunt of Turvey, Bedford; | Sir Edward Levpis of the Van, Glam.; | Blanch Morgan of Tredegar, Monmouth. This stone was dug out of Hampton Quarry, 9r ye 10, 1701. The above said Lewis Wogan obt. John Wogan was Sherifif in 1567 and 1598. He married Jane Wogan of Wiston.
