Bio: 2. Hywel ap Cadell ap Rhodri
Hywel ap Cadell ap Rhodri, is known in history as Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good: 890-950). A grandson of Rhodri Mawr, he came into possession of Dyfed around 904 and Brycheiniog some years later. The combined kingdoms became known as Deheubarth, a unit seen by Dr. Davies as of central importance in the history of Wales during the next four centuries. In 942, Deheubarth was united with Gwynedd and Powys, giving Hwyel control over most of Wales with the exception of Glamorgan. He wisely kept peace with the English through a policy of conciliation, earning a reputation more as a diplomat than warrior. The king gained his reputation for his consolidation of the Law of Wales, one of "the most splendid creations of the culture of the Welsh" (Davies. p.88).

In the Cyfraith Hywel, his accomplishment was to systemize the ancient legal customs of Wales: it is notable for its elements of mercy, common sense and a great respect for women and children that has been lacking from many legal systems of other countries right up to the present day. In "Brut y Tywysogyon," the unusually gifted ruler was described as "the chief and most praiseworthy of all the Britons." No other Welsh king gained the title of Dda (The good).

Notes

"The descendants of James Sawyer (or Burton) Arbuthnot. It has not been proven when or from where he came to the US. He was in Mississippi in the late 1700s, married Catherine White and settled in Louisiana. Most members of this family live in the south, although some have settled in other parts of the country." possibly a son of a GEORGE ARBUTHNOT.
from wounds received in the battle of New Orleans 8 January 1815, per the Mormons who give their source as his grand-daughter, Martha Arbuthnot. He has clearly been confused with at least one quite different James; nevertheless, we list some of the statements which have been made about these several different potential pasts for it may be that one of them has some truth in it, though such truth may and may not relate to this James. His name has been linked to that of a possible brother, GEORGE ARBUTHNOT, with whom he emigrated to New York. There was a GEORGE ARBUTHNOT who signed a petition to the President of the US concerning intruders of Chickasaw lands, (at?) Sims Settlement, Elk River, Mississippi Territory on 5 September 1810. It is suggested that James is the JAMES ARBUTHNOT shown in the Mormons' records as having been born in Dundee, Angus 28 April 1763, brother of ARCHIBALD ARBUTHNOT (born Dundee 21 October 1760) who were both children of FRANCIS ARBUTHNOT (born c.1734) by his wife, MARGARET, née MILLER (born c.1738) [Source unknown but described mysteriously as: F Scot 6 pt 668] - this suggestion is thoroughly unproven (and unprovable from old parochial registers); this family is shown on Table 68. It is suggested that this Francis and his son James (born 1763) emigrated together to the USA in 1772. There is a record of the emigration on board the 'Pennsylvania Farmer' in 1772 from Ireland to (Charlestown) South Carolina of one or possibly two FRANCIS ARBUTHNOTs; those allowed to travel on the ship had to have enough money to live on when they landed or had to have someone vouch for their keep: one Francis appears to have been listed as a servant to a doctor on board the ship, his wife being listed as a maid to another passsenger in order to get passage fees; all foreign Protestants were given 450 acres of land, but those who had enough money were asked to pay for it; if there were two emigrating Francises, presumably it was the other who was able to pay [transcript of "Compilation of Original List of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina 1763- 73 (Port Charles Town)" 3751 pp 125, 126]. This man has been confused with the James Arbuthnot of Table 5 and we hope we have properly separated the information. We don't think that the James, the subject of this family, is as has been suggested that or those JAMES ARBUTHNOT(s) who is/are shown in the Mississippi archives as follows:
(1) owned land in Claiborne County, Mississippi in 1803;
(2) the land is called Claim 774;
(3) (made?) 19 June 1803, a pact to ELI CROCKETT regarding improvements where he was then living on Lingon Branch of South Fork of Bauyou Pierre;
(4) "made 1 May 1798"; (5) 20 December 1803 before Edmund Hall, JP of Jefferson County, Mississippi Territory "in case of my death before I return from the Atlantic States I do make over all my rights to 'within' to JESSE LUM . . .";
(6) (mentioned in document?) 16 September (year?) "320 acres to include improvements";
(7) Certificate D-172 16 December 1806;
(8) "Witness says claimant desires to take only half of the desired tract on pre-emption if it does not prove to be a donation;
(9) Claim for 640 acres 45 miles from Natchez by virtue of these (6, 7 & 8?) records;
(10) James was a signatory of a petition asking for Federal control of land on 25 August 1803 [Volume 5, Mississippi Territory papers]. We believe the following to be true: there is a Land Grant in Mississippi dated 1 May 1798;
James went from Mississippi to St Helena Parish, Louisiana in 1803, buying about 3,000 arpents of land in the St Helena & St Tammany Parishes (near Greensburg, Louisiana) in 1803 and in the following years and marrying in Natchez, Mississippi, 7 October 1795, CATHERINE WHITE (born 1775; dvu 1809). Both James and Catherine are buried at Zemurray Lodge, Loranger which was once part of the Arbuthnot holdings in this area."
