2.  JENKYN2 FERRIER (RICE1 FERRIOR)2 was born  in of Pennar, Pembs.3, and died 1715.

 

Notes for JENKYN FERRIER:

Jenkyn Ferrior was probably descended from the branch of the Ferrior family from Carew.

 

Jenkyn  Ferrior was probably the same 'Jenkyn Ferrier' who was executor to the will of his father, Rice Ferrier dated 1669.  He was probably  related to the Jenkyn Ferrier who was living in Pembroke Town during the mid 1600s and listed in the Hearth Tax for Pembroke Town in 1670. (Source: "Treasury of Historic Pembrokeshire" by  Major Francis Jones).  IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE  THAT HE MIGHT BE ONE AND THE SAME PERSON.

 

In 1669 the Rev. Peregrine Phillips, Moses Longman of Langum, gent., John Luntley of Haverfordwest, hatter, Marcus Boulton of Steynton parish, gent., Henry Seare of Llanstadwell, yeoman, Anthony Stokes, of Roch, gent., Hugh Harries of Brawdy, yeoman and Jenkin Ferrior of Pembroke, yeoman were indicated for meeting under colour of religion, etc., at Dredgeman Hill on 11 July 1669.  He was the ancestor of Lt. Col. Samuel Ferrior who died at Waterloo in 1815.  (Source:  Treasury of Historic Pembrokeshire" by Major Francis Jones.)

 

It is possible that John Ferrior (d.1714) of Steynton is related to Jenkyn (possibly a brother/or son).  BUT THIS STILL NEEDS TO BE PROVED.

 

PENNAR, Pembroke St. Mary's

=========================

 

Home of the Meares and Ferrior (also spelt Ferrier) families.  The Ferriors who were here in the late 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were widely settled in south Pembrokeshire, below Milford Haven.  Annabella la Ferrior held lands in the manor of Lamphey in 1326; in 1402 John Ferrior was one of the bowmen guarding Narberth Castle; they are found in Pwllcrochan, Castlemartin, Carew, Manobier, Tenby and Pembroke as well as Pennar from c. 1650 to the end of the 19th century.  'Pennar manor house, is now a farmhouse.  Near the old manor house of Pennar is a rath composed of three high works or ramparts, paralled to each other in straight lines,' so says Silas Davies in "WALES" published in 1897.

Notes for LT. COL. SAMUEL FERRIOR:

Samuel Ferrior was a descendant of Jenkyn Ferrier who was living in Pembroke Town during the mid 1600s.  Probably the same Jenkyn Ferrier who is listed on the Hearth Tax for 1670.  The Ferriors are an old Pembrokeshire family possibly being of Flemish origin.  They can be traced from their origins in Carew with later genration living in St. Florence, Castlemartin, Pembroke, Steynton, Haverfordwest, St. Brides and Hasguard.

 

Major Samuel Ferrior of the First Regiment of Life Guards.  Samuel is reputed to be a nephew of my 5 x great grandmother,  Anne Ferrior and 2nd cousin of her grandson Capt. William Andrew Feild  of Fold Farm, Herbrandston,Pembrokeshire.   Another cousin, Dr. John Andrew Feild of Milford stated that he was a grand nephew of Lt. Col. Samuel Ferrior, although I believe it to be more probable that Samuel Ferrior was the grand nephew of Dr. John Andrew Feild's great grandmother, Anne Ferrior.  Perhaps there is also another connection to the Ferrior family?  These farming families of South Pembrokeshire often inter-married and were all connected.

 

Samuel first appears in the Army List as a Cornet/Sub Lieutenant in the 1st Life Guards on 23 March 1797 in the army and again in 1798.  By 1802 he was listed at a Lieutenant of the 1st Life Guards, by 1810 he had risen to the rank of  Captain and by 1814 he was listed at Lt. Col. and in 1815 he is shown at Lt. Col. and Major of the 1st Life Guards.   Unfortunately there is no Statement of Service (1809-10) at the Public Records Office at Kew for Samuel, but I have seen the Pay Lists and Musters for the 1st Life Guards and he is listed there.  On some of the later Musters/Pay Lists he has signed the originals in his capacity as Lt. Col.  The Pay List for 1815 lists him as Killed in Action 18 June 1815.   He was listed in a supplement to The London Gazette of Saturday the 1st of July 1815 as being amongst the officers killed at Waterloo.

 

Samuel fought at the at the battle of Waterloo and wrote to his brother Benjamin on 7 June 1815 from Flanders prior to the battle.  His letter described the British army assembled for the Waterloo campaign, reviews by Louis XV111 of France and other dignitaries, and the countryside of Flanders.

 

He was to die late in the day of the 18th June after leading the last charge at the Battle of Waterloo.  Infact, he led 11 charges at Waterloo.  He was awarded the Waterloo Medal posthumously; the record showing he was killed though it is more likely that he died of wounds.  In the book "Waterloo Roll Call" by Charles Dalton, it is noted ‘ Samuel Ferrior Is said to have led his regiment to the charge no less than eleven times and most of he charges were not made till after his head had been laid open by the cut of a sabre and his body pierced with a lance’.  It is believed the last charge took place towards dusk, when the cavalry was ordered forward to harry the Garde Imperiale’s retreating columns.

 

Samuel was born in Pennar, Pembrokeshire and died on the battlefield of Waterloo, June 18th 1815.

Ninove, In Flanders

7th June 1815

 

My dear Ben,

We marched as I expected, a few days after I wrote my last letter, we embarked at Ramsgate and landed at Ostend on the 3rd May, without any casualty of consequence, we continued our march to a village three miles this side of Ghent, where we halted for the first day since we left Hyde Park Barracks. We remained there 7 or 8 days and then came here which is the head quarters of the Cavalry. Lt General the Earl of Uxbridge who commands the Cavalry is quartered at a convent adjoining the town, which before the French Revolution was a most magnificent place but now in a state of decay, Bonaparte having taken away all the fine pictures, destroyed the furniture and sold the large territories attached to this convent but the church is still very fine. The best of the Cavalry are in Cantonments in the surrounding Villages, the King's German Legion Cavalry more in advance, I mean the French Frontier - The First Life Guards is brigaded with the 2nd Life Guards the blues, and First Dragoon Guards in all 10 squadron, all in most excellent condition and fine order and allowed to be as fine a body of Cavalry as was ever seen and I think that my Regt is not the worst among them. Lord Edward Somerset Commands the Brigade as Lord Wellington is at Brussels, about 15 miles from here hence which is the Head Quarters of the Army and about them our infantry are quartered - We are at present all quiet, we have no news and we look at the London papers to see how the world is going on. We believe and I am of that opinion That as the Russians come up and join us, no time will be lost in commencing hostilities, a part of them, we hear, are now on the Rhine. It cannot therefore be long before we begin. When we were at the village near Ghent, I waited on the Equerry of the King of France, who at present resides there to request the honour of presenting the officers of the Regt and to try to know what day and hour His Majesty would be pleased to appoint to receive them. His Equerry after seeing His Majesty informed me on the next day at half past 12 - when we were all assembled and were presented to His Majesty - when he said to us all in very good English " I see you all with much pleasure and great confidence" - His court was not very splendid and he appeared much (             ) with the gout rather fat and unwieldy and with some difficulty got to the carriage which was waiting - we have been favoured three times since our arrival here, the first time, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Life Guards & Blues & being the senior officer I had the command of the 3 Regiments in the field - Lord Uxbridge inspected us minutely and was pleased to express his entire approbation's of the appearance and movements of the Regiments - our second review was of The Whole heavy Cavalry, Lord Uxbridge wishing to play a compliment to The Prince Of Orange - the Prince accompanied by many foreigners of distinction favoured us and was much gratified by the appearance. Our Third Review was however superlatively grand by Field Marshall His Grace The Duke of Wellington accompanied by the Prince of Orange, by old Blucher, The Duke of Brunswick, by Marmont & by foreigners of different nations of high distinction - We were drawn up in three lines, The Hussars in the first line, The Heavy Cavalry in the second & the Light Dragoons in the third line, The Artillery at different points of the line, in all 46 Squadrons, 9 Troops of Horse Artillery, about 6,000 men - The First Regt had the honour of giving the Guard of Honour of one Troop with its officers to Lord Wellington on the ground, a Squadron received him at the convent Lord Uxbridge's Quarters, when a Grand Dinner was prepared, for the Prince, General Officers and Heads of Departments & Officers Commanding Regiments. It was very brilliant & Lord Wellington did me the high honour to come up to me and address me by saying that my regiment was in very fine order - All the country we have passed thro', from Ostend to this place is extremely rich and well cultivated there is no where to be seen the smallest plot of land uncultivated - there is no part of England so entirely under cultivation, or any considerable part so rich - The rye is now standing 7 feet high, the barley up to my chin. The wheat however, appears to have been sown late, not at the same time as our wheat, it looks healthy, and full in the ground but not higher at present than my knee - but will to all appearance be a very fine crop - except in dead flats, where the ground is extremely rich, & appears good luxuriant old meadows & which appears to be in proportion as 1 in 10 - the remainder of the country without any exception, is one continuous scene of Corn &Clover, without fences, or waste of any kind but intersected with plenty of good roads. Rye Wheat and Barley seem to be the principal crops, oats however is grown, great quantities of clover (no other artificial crops) it would seem that clover is the general alternate crop - except in some meadows. You may travel for miles & not see any animal grazing not even a pig every thing here is kept in house and fed with clover, therefore fences they do without - the cows are all tied by the head in the house, the horses are all in the house as are the pigs. To feed a profusion of clover given to all - in consequence a very great quantity of very fine dung is made & more attention and more 7 more skill is shown in this branch than any where in England - they suffer as little water to get at the dung heaps as possible & carefully prevent any flood of rain or stream over flowing or running near them, they contrive to have a slope where the water and the moisture of the dung drains to which they are careful about. This is sometimes covered over with boards, in other places, only a small excavation, when a certain quantity of liquid accumulates here, one of the servants with a water scope throws the dung water over the dung. Where there are places covered over, they have buckets with a line & take up the water by that means, carry & throw it regularly over the dung heaps in their cow houses, they have a grating thro' which the piss from the cow drains into a hole. They have a pump outside & a  (         ) & they fill casks in the evening with this & they carry it on their fields - this may appear an expensive move but I am convinced it must answer well. I was always of the opinion that the dung heaps was not well managed. The face of this country shows good management and good husbandry - There is a good deal of rape sown here, for oil, and the man in whose house I am now writing has a mill for making oil, which he sends to England and generally gets salt in return - Tobacco is also grown here as well as hemp, & in good situations & near houses, hops, they make a great quantity of beer here with their own hops, not so strong as our ale & better than our beer - it is much utilised here, as there is no wine made here and the spirits appear to be bad - great pains are taken to keep this country free from weeds, the women weed always either on their hands & knees or inclining on their side of the ground, of course they see and take up the most minute weed - the breed of pigs very bad - they are long but very narrow & thin over the back & being high on their legs - the breed of sheep also very bad - the bone not large but very narrow particularly over the shoulders , long in the legs - the breed of Cart or Draught horse excellent, great strength with considerable activity, fast (        ), small heads - I think I mentioned in my last letter, that the certificate (which was the day of his burial) sent to me some considerable time since, was deemed insufficient to obtain John Ferrier's half pay for the broken period beyond the usual half year - it will be necessary to procure the certificate of Robert Ferrier or Minister of the day of his death, which if not already done , should be sent to Messers Ommaney & Druse, Navy Agents, Norfolk St, strand, & request them to lose no time in receiving it and by them stating that I am on service, to remit it either to Mary, or pay it over, to purchase stock, as you and Mary may think proper - It will also be necessary for Mary to give a power of attorney for someone to receive her next dividends. I intend to send to Mr Scowcroft In a few days money to pay John Ferrier's bill & also Miss Games - I am sorry that my means with the most rigid economy Would not admit to my having done so before - this is a cheap (    ) have more allowances her than at home, I shall do all in my power to save money here, which I shall from time to time remit for the payment of encumbrances. I received from Messers Greenwood Cox & co the money I required which I wrote to you about - the purchase of my horses & mules to carry my baggage & my outfit & this has placed me under difficulties at present, but I have no doubt in time of getting the better of them - I have the satisfaction however of finding myself completely equipped according to my rank in the services - I can never sufficiently thank you for your kindness & real brotherly friendship for me - I saw major Lloyd at Ostend - He is in the command of a Troop of Horse Artillery there - Meat in general here about five pence per lb. - eggs half penny each - butter 10 pence per lb. - & by my love to Robert, Richard, Mary & Miss Long  - remember me to all friends

Yours sincerely

Notes for MARY FERRIOR:

According to an advertisement printed in a newspaper in 1866. advertising for heirs or next of kin of Mary, she was described as late of  Gt. Heaten, St. Ishmael's.  Or was this  Gt. Hoaten which had been the family home of the Cornock/Rowe/Davies family from for many generations and was still owned by them in 1891.  The Cornock/Rowe/Davies families are all the same family and Gt. Hoaten (now Anchor Hoaten, 2001) was the childhood home of my 3 x great grandmother Margaret Davies (nee Rowe) and her daughter Matha Davies who married William Henry Feild.  William Henry Feild's great grandmother was Anne Ferrior.  But she was ancestor of the Feilds - not, to my knowledge, connected to the Cornock/Rowe/Davies families.   Was she living at Gt. Hoaten????
