Data found on the site of Eric Ryan Walls:
He was graduated from Jesus College, Cambridge, England, receiving his final degree of D.D. in 1598. He served as Bishop of Sodor and Man 1600-1604, and Bishop of Chester 1604-1616. Coming to the see of Chester in December 1604, Bishop Lloyd reversed the anti-Puritan policy of his Welsh predecessor Richard Vaughan (Dictionary of Welsh Biography Down to 1940, p. 579).

Bartrum "Welsh Genealogies AD 300-1400", 8 Volumes (1974) pp. 446-47, 867, 869, 512; and "Welsh Genealogies 1400-1500", 18 Volumes (1983) pp. 975, 1288-89."

Caroline Sanford, a Deaconess in the Episcopal Church, spent a year or so living in England. She writes in her "Record of My Ancestry", "We were looking over guides to English Cities -- and I took up Chester and said, 'Why am I interested in Chester?' Then I saw an engraving of 'Bishop Loyd's House' -- and it was an ancestor's home -- the date on it 1615. He was Mrs. Eaton's father you know -- George Lloyd Bishop of Sudon and Man and afterwards Bishop of Chester." Source: Charles Henry Browning, Some "Colonial Dames" of Royal Descent, p. 73


According to the "Biographic Cyclopedia of American Women", Bishop Lloyd traced his notable Welsh ancestry to Coel Coedhehawy (295 A.D.), through Rhrodri Mawr (843-877), King of All Wales; through his grandson, Howel Dda (907-948), the great lawgiver of Cambria, whose laws continued in force for four hundred years; through his great-great-grandson, Rhys ap Tewdor Mawr (died, 1098), the founder of the second Royal Welsh Tribe; through his grandson, Rhys ap Gryffydd (died, 1197), representative Sovereign of North Wales; through Gruffudd ay Cynan (died, in 1136, at the age of eighty-two), King of Wales, the last to bear the title; and also to Marchudd ap Cynan, Lord of Brynffenigl in Denbighland, founder of eight noble tribes of North Wales and Powys in the ninth century.
