IN THE FUNERAL ENTRIES, VOL. VII., P. 18, PRESERVED IN THE RECORD TOWER AT DUBLIN, THE NAME OF CAPTAIN GEORGE MATHEW IS SPELT "MATTHEWES." SHORTLY AFTER HIS DECEASE HIS WIDOW ENTERED THE ORDER OF ST. BENEDICT AND OB. A NUM, CIRC. 1675. HAVING ACCEPTED THE FOREGOING AS THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY FOR THIS CAPTAIN GEORGE MATHEW, IT WOULD BE WELL, AT THIS POINT TO QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM SOME OTHER SOURCES WHICH ARE IN SLIGHT CONFLICT WITH THE SAME, CHIEFLY IN POINTS OF SPELLING, BUT ALSO IN THAT THEY ONLY MENTION HIS HAVING HAD ONE MARRIAGE. "GEORGE, ELDEST SON OF EDMOND MATHEW OF RADYR MARRIED IN 1620, HIS FIRST COUSIN, MARY, DAU. OF SIR T. POYNTZ, OF ACTON, CO.

SIR GEORGE MATHEW M. P. HIGH SHERIFF OF GLAMORGAN, 1544. DIED 10 NOVEMBER 1557. MARRIED 1ST. MARY ANNE HERBERT, DAUGHTER OF SIR WILLIAM HERBERT OF COLEBROOK...SIR GEORGE WAS KNIGHTED IN 1553. HE REVIVED THE PRIVILEGES OF THE MARCHER LORDSHIP HELD BY HIS ANCESTORS, AND OBTAINED CONFIRMATION OF THEM FROM THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. SIR GEORGE WAS CUSTODIAN OF THE RELIC OF ST. TEILO. HE MARRIED 2ND BARBARA DAUGHTER AND HEIR OF SIR ROBERT BRET OF COSSINGTON. THE CHIEF DIFFERENCE IN THE FOREGOING ACCOUNT AND OTHERS IS THAT HIS FIRST WIFE IS ALSO MENTIONED AS MARGARET, DAU. OF SIR WILLIAM HERBERT OF COLEBROOK.
1153: Bishop Kitchin granted Llandaff Manor to Sir George Mathew of Radyr, knight, his heirs and assigns. This greatly impoverished to See, and even comprised the Bishop's Cstle, which seems to have been dismantled shortly afterwards.
Near the castle stands the ancient mansion of the family of Mathew of Llandaff. It was formerly called Bryn-y-gynen, but now Llandaff Court, and is supposed to have been built by David Mathew ap Ieuan Gruffydd Gethin (Rick Merrick). It was rebuilt in the 18th century and is now the palace of the Bishop of Llandaff.

Sir married Barbara BRET in 1530. Barbara was born about 1503 in Cossington, Somersetshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
