CYD-DESTUN
Hanes bywgraffyddol/gweinyddol: The Hanbury family of Pontypool traces its descent from Richard the third son of John Hanbury (fl. temp. Edw. IV) of Hanbury in Worcestershire. Richard Hanbury (d. c. 1608), the great-grandson of the Richard above, was an ironmaster in Staffordshire and in about 1570 started similar works at Monkswood and Pontymoel in Monmouthshire. He left two married daughters, but the Pontypool forge passed to his half-brother, also called Richard Hanbury (1548-1613), of Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire. His son John Hanbury (c. 1574-1658) was a royalist and compounded for his estates in 1649. His son Capel Hanbury (d.1704) was the first of the family to settle at Pontypool, previous generations having been content to pay occasional visits to their forges. To him may be attributed the building of at least parts of the mansion of Pontypool Park. His son Major John Hanbury (1664-1734) was left £70,000 by Charles Williams (d.1720) of Caerleon, said to be in gratitude for Hanbury's work in securing a royal pardon and safe return for Williams, who had fled Britain after killing his opponent in a duel. Part of the money was to be invested in an estate for one of his sons, understood to be for Charles (1708-59), John's fourth son, on condition that he assume the surname Williams. John bought Coldbrook in about 1730 and settled it on Charles, the Herbert family of Coldbrook having failed in heiresses. The Hanbury-Williams family of Coldbrook is descended from Charles. John Hanbury (d.1736), the eldest son of Major John Hanbury, died without surviving issue and was succeeded by his brother Capel Hanbury (1707-65). He married Jane daughter of Thomas Charles Tracy, 5th viscount Tracy of Rathcoole, and was succeeded by his eldest son John Hanbury (c. 1740-84), who was succeeded by his eldest son John Capel Hanbury (dsp. 1795). He was succeeded by his brother Capel Hanbury (1776-1861). In 1798 the third son, Charles Hanbury (1778-1858), married his cousin Henrietta Susanna (1771-1839), the only child of Henry, 8th viscount Tracy, and assumed the additional surname of Tracy; he was created Lord Sudeley in 1838 and left issue. Capel Hanbury (1776-1861) assumed the additional surname of Leigh in right of his descent through the Tracys from Thomas, 1st lord Leigh of Stoneleigh. He was succeeded by his only son John Capel Hanbury (b. 1853) who, with his sisters, resumed the family name of Hanbury in 1864.
