Generation No. 2
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.
Copy of the "Waterloo" letter, now at Southampton University
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
Samuel Ferrier

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????
