      RUCK, Laurence, Esq., of Pantlludw, Merionethshire, and Newington Manor House, Kent.

      Mr. Ruck is descended from an old Kentish family, one of whom, by name Laurence Ruck, in the time of Henry VIII. was bow-bearer to the king; b. 1820; ed. at Magdalen College, Oxford; m, 1841, Mary Anne, dau. of Richard Matthews, Esq., of Esgair Lleferin, Merionethshire;and has issue 4 sons - Arthur, Richard, Ithel, Edwald; and 2 daughters = Mary and Amy.
      Residence: Pantlludw, Machynlleth, Merionethshire.
      Arms: The arms of Ruck, impaling those of Morris of Esgair Lleferin, and Jones of Esgair Evan.

      Mrs. Ruck, as shown in an extensive pedigree in possession of the family, is descended both on the paternal and maternal side from a long line of Welsh ancestry. Her father, Richard Matthews of Esgair Lleferin (who was of the old family of Matthews of Trenannau), was an officer in the 23rd Reg. Welsh Fusiliers.His father, Richard Matthews, m. Ann Morris, heiress of Esgair Lleferin, from whom Mrs. Ruck has inherited that property. Her mother was Mary, daughter of John Jones, Esq., of Esgair Evan, by Mary Morgan, of the Morgans of Fronfraith, Cardinganshire, claiming a pedigree from Gwaethfoed, Prince of Ceredigion in the 11th cent.

      Note. - The residence of Pantlludw, erected about fifty years ago, is delightfully situated on an elevation commanding a view of the valley of the Dyfi above and below Machynlleth, and the spurs of Penllyman (Plinlimmon) to the east. In the tastefully arranged grounds is a remarkable yew of enormous size, one of the branches of which was some years ago blown dwn, and converted into elegant pieces of furniture. The age of this tree is calculated at nearly a thousand years. The mansion of Esgair, occupied by Col. Stewart, is a pretty place, boldly planted in the midst of highly picturesque scenery.
