George Devereux, whose wife brought the Vaynor estate into the Devereux family, died in 1682.15 He was presumably succeeded by Price Devereux, the first surviving son of George's elder son of the same name.16 The Nantcribba Estate passed to Arthur Devereux, son of Vaughan. Price Devereux (1664-1740), grandson of the George Devereux who had married Bridget Price, lived at Vaynor.

It refers to a capital messuage called Vaynor" (CW 595). Elizabeth Vaughan is said to have been the sister of Owen Vaughan of Llwydiarth. This suggests a relationship with John Purcell of Nantcribba.
