Would you please tell us what your evidence is that Robert is son of
that particular Richard and that that Richard is son of that particular
John. It is quite unusual to have so many counties in a pedigree unless
there was a very itinerant occupation involved or connections to
landholdings in all the counties, and probably a few other reasons, but
not many.
I am quite interested as this is my ancestor also.

Hi!
This is my line. I also descend from Maud and David Goch through Evan
Robert Lewis, whose descendants were Cymric Quakers who came to Pennsylvania in
1690.
However, you've left out a generation here:
The father of Cynveloe (or Cynveloc or Cynwrig) was Llywelyn, son of David
ap Llywelyn Fawr. Both Llywelyn and Cynwrig were constables of Rhuddlan. My
cousin and I have done much research on this.On their way to me right now are
copies of manuscripts from National Library of Wales and the Rhyl Library (near
Rhuddlan)concerning Llywelyn and Cynwrig, the constables of Rhuddlan.
I would love to discuss your Days more with you, as my maiden name was Day
and I don't have the Days any further back than 1770 in North Carolina, USA.
The Days are not the same side of my family as Evan Robert Lewis--he's on my
mother's side. This fascinates me!

This line and earlier connections are false. I looked into it some years ago
for a client who got it from a seemingly credible genealogy. As I seem to
recall, they jumped from the immigrant to an account of theDay family in the
Visitation of Yorkshire (HS 16) and then jumped into Wales. Aside from being
chronologically impossible, several of the connections are factually unsound.
You need to look at the specific generations that leap between different
counties or regions of the country.

Reed,
Do you mean the whole line back to Deikws DDU is false?The info I had
before all of this came up only includes a son Einion for Deikws--there is no
mention of a son Richard Dee for Deikws DDU.
Thank you.

No, I simply meant that in a number of places, the proposed line traced back
from the immigrant to that point is false. It almost never happens that every
person in a line is fictional. It is usually the case that different
historical individuals are found and connections between them either forced, or
one or two figures made up to cement the bond. I've seen many childless
couples blessed with children centuries after their deaths.

Here is a bit of my research into the matter of the TWO Robert day's that came to New England:

Two persons by the name of Robert Day took passage to New England, one in 1634 and the other in 1635; this has caused confusion between the two. [Farmer, Banks and Pope]
1] Robert Day, Number one: age 30, sailed on the "Hopewell" of London early in April 1635 and arrived at Boston in June. He was of Stanstead, Abbots, Hertfordshire, England. He made his first residence at Ipswich, Massachusetts where he apparently remained.
2] Robert Day,Number two: Came on the ship "Elizabeth," of Ipswich, Suffolkshire, England, William Andrews Master. Leaving the last of April and arriving at Boston in July 1634. According to the ships manifest, he was 30 years old and his 1st wife Mary who came in the "Elizabeth" from Ipswich, co. Suffolk to Boston in Apr 1634 he was aged 30, Mary aged 28; freeman MA. 6 May 1635. An original proprietor at Hartford; his home lot in 1639 was on the road from Centinel Hill to the North Meadow near the juncion of the streets now Main and Village Streets. Viewer of chimneys and ladders 1643. His first wife is said to have died bef. his rem. to Hartford. m.2) Edith, sister of Dea. Edward Stebbins. Will dated 20 May; inv. 14 Oct 1648 142/13/06, His daughter Sarah was killed with her son Joseph by the Indians 19 Sep 1677
***
"Planters of the Commonwealth" states Robert Day went to Ipswich, Massachusetts. Others who accompanied the Day's on the journey were: Edward Lewis and family - Thomas Scott and family - Isaac Mixer and family - and the family of Richard Kimball, who all settled at Ipswich or Cambridge after arriving. Within a month, on 4 August 1634, Robert was granted three acres of land in the West end of Cambridge, Massachusetts and, by May 6, 1635, he had been admitted into the Cambridge church and became a freeman.
During late 1635, Robert was one of the sixteen advanced people who had traveled into the wilderness looking for a suitable area to start a new plantation. Finding it, they spent the winter at what was to become Hartford, Connecticut. Here he became one of its original proprietors and has his name inscribed on the founders monument.
In the January 3, 1639 division of land at Hartford, Robert Day is recorded as receiving fourteen (14) acres. In 1643, Robert was chosen by the town to act as its chimney viewer. This was a necessary task that could prevent a house fire that may possibly spread throughout the whole town.
The will of Robert Day was dated on 20 May 1648, at Hartford, and by 14 Oct. l648 an inventory of his estate was taken and proved.

Genealogical Register of the Descendants in the Male Line of Robert Day, Hartford, Conn.
"It has been handed down in tradition that the family of Day originally came from Wales. This tradtion is undoubtedly correct. In a book of Heraldy , containing the Arms of William Day, B.D. Proviost of Eton College and dean of Windsor, confirmed by William Flower, Norroy, on the 21st of October, 1582, in the twenty fourth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, he is said to be descended from the Dees of Wales, viz. being younger son of Richard Day, who was the son of Nicholas Day, the son of John Dee, called by the English Daye. He was the son of Morgan Dee, younger brother of Richard Dee, Welshman"
DEE, signifying, it is said, dark and dingy, is the name of a small river in Wales, and was probably applied to some ancestors of the family, dwelling upon its banks, inorder to distinguish him from others.... and in time, the word Dee came to be written, accpording to the apparent sound, Daye or Day. This name still prevails in Wales and there pronounced as in England and this country (America). Within the first thirty years after the settlement of New England eight persons of the thame of Day are found on the record, viz- 1.; Robert Day, first of Cambridge, then of Hartford,Conn.
Robert arrived in America in 1634 and settled first in Cambridge, then called Newton, Mass. He had a wife Mary who died soon after arriving. He was one of the 100 people who made their way through the woods with Rev. Thomas Hooker to found Hartford, Conn. Robert Day's name is on the monument as a founder of Hartford along with that of William Whiting. His second wife was Editha Stebbins (Stebbing) of Hartford.

Richard Conder of Clapton, yeoman. Dated 17 March 1717-8. In indifferent health. To my son Jacob £20 within a year, also £20 in three years, on condition that the said Jacob is compos mentis, and if he is not, or is dead, the £20 to remain in the hands of Jabez and Joshua Conder, hereby appointed trustees of the £20, to be disposed, either for his maintenance if non compot mentis, or, if deceased, to be distributed between his children. To my daughter Rhoda Porter £20, also a joyn bed, bolster and pillows, with a blanket, and a coverlet, and a pair of pillow bieres, to choose which she likes, and also a pair of sheets which she likes best, and the curtains belonging to the said bed. To my son Jabez Conder and his heirs the messuage or tenement in the parish of Bassingborne, freehold, with the orchards, barns, outhouses and appurtenances, on condition of paying the above legacies. Son Josua, executor and residuary legatee. Witnesses :-- Thomas Geeve, John Field, Clement Kinnersley. Proved 24 June 1718. [Richard Conder was the founder of Nonconformity in Croyden. His house there was licensed as a Congregational meeting place 9 Dec. 1672. In 1686 he was presented for absenting himself wholly from Divine service and sermon for six months. Though he laboured for some years without a single convert, he lived long enough to see the present Chapel built and its congregation flourishing. A rector of Croyden-cum-Clopton was deprived for simony in 1695, and his successor (1697 -- 1731) was non-resident, the single Sunday service being taken by the Vicar of Arrington, who received the stipend of 6' 8d per Sunday for his pains. A grandson of this Richard Conder, John Conder, D.D., born at Wimpole in 1714, attained considerable eminence as a dissenting minister and theologian, and was Principal of the Homerton Academy, where he died in 1781.]

Genealogical Register of the Descendants in the Male Line of Robert Day, Hartford, Conn.
"It has been handed down in tradition that the family of Day originally came from Wales. This tradtion is undoubtedly correct. In a book of Heraldy , containing the Arms of William Day, B.D. Proviost of Eton College and dean of Windsor, confirmed by William Flower, Norroy, on the 21st of October, 1582, in the twenty fourth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, he is said to be descended from the Dees of Wales, viz. being younger son of Richard Day, who was the son of Nicholas Day, the son of John Dee, called by the English Daye. He was the son of Morgan Dee, younger brother of Richard Dee, Welshman"
DEE, signifying, it is said, dark and dingy, is the name of a small river in Wales, and was probably applied to some ancestors of the family, dwelling upon its banks, inorder to distinguish him from others.... and in time, the word Dee came to be written, accpording to the apparent sound, Daye or Day. This name still prevails in Wales and there pronounced as in England and this country (America). Within the first thirty years after the settlement of New England eight persons of the thame of Day are found on the record, viz- 1.; Robert Day, first of Cambridge, then of Hartford,Conn.
Robert arrived in America in 1634 and settled first in Cambridge, then called Newton, Mass. He had a wife Mary who died soon after arriving. He was one of the 100 people who made their way through the woods with Rev. Thomas Hooker to found Hartford, Conn. Robert Day's name is on the monument as a founder of Hartford along with that of William Whiting. His second wife was Editha Stebbins (Stebbing) of Hartford.

Richard Conder of Clapton, yeoman. Dated 17 March 1717-8. In indifferent health. To my son Jacob £20 within a year, also £20 in three years, on condition that the said Jacob is compos mentis, and if he is not, or is dead, the £20 to remain in the hands of Jabez and Joshua Conder, hereby appointed trustees of the £20, to be disposed, either for his maintenance if non compot mentis, or, if deceased, to be distributed between his children. To my daughter Rhoda Porter £20, also a joyn bed, bolster and pillows, with a blanket, and a coverlet, and a pair of pillow bieres, to choose which she likes, and also a pair of sheets which she likes best, and the curtains belonging to the said bed. To my son Jabez Conder and his heirs the messuage or tenement in the parish of Bassingborne, freehold, with the orchards, barns, outhouses and appurtenances, on condition of paying the above legacies. Son Josua, executor and residuary legatee. Witnesses :-- Thomas Geeve, John Field, Clement Kinnersley. Proved 24 June 1718. [Richard Conder was the founder of Nonconformity in Croyden. His house there was licensed as a Congregational meeting place 9 Dec. 1672. In 1686 he was presented for absenting himself wholly from Divine service and sermon for six months. Though he laboured for some years without a single convert, he lived long enough to see the present Chapel built and its congregation flourishing. A rector of Croyden-cum-Clopton was deprived for simony in 1695, and his successor (1697 -- 1731) was non-resident, the single Sunday service being taken by the Vicar of Arrington, who received the stipend of 6' 8d per Sunday for his pains. A grandson of this Richard Conder, John Conder, D.D., born at Wimpole in 1714, attained considerable eminence as a dissenting minister and theologian, and was Principal of the Homerton Academy, where he died in 1781.]
