It is believed that the Hamptons of Henllys arrived in eastern Anglesey almost as early as the Bulkeleys. They are said to originally have been of Lancashire stock, who, settling in Beaumaris in the time of Edward IV, intermarried with the native gentry, and played a powerful role in the corporate life of the borough. William Hampton formed one of the garrisons of Beaumaris castle in 1460, and held there the rank of Deputy-Governor. He received a grant of Henllys, which was anciently the seat of Gweirydd ap Rhys Goch, Chief of one of the 15 tribes of North Wales. The eventual heiress of the Hamptons of Henllys, Mary Hampton married John Jones of Trefollwyn in 1746, the son of Hugh Jones of the same place. Mary died in 1759, and her successor was John Hampton Jones, who was born in 1746. He married Emma, the only daughter of the Rev. John Lewis, M.A., of Plas Llanfihangel, Rector of Llandegfan, in 1770, and by her had issue, John Hampton Hampton Lewis of Henllys, born in 1775. In 1830 he assumed by Royal Licence the additional surname and arms of Lewis. In 1796 he married Mary, daughter of Richard Chambers of Whitbourn Court and Cradley Hall, Herefordshire, and had issue by her, John Lewis Hampton Lewis, of Henllys and Bodior, his heir. Born in 1798 he married Elizabeth Francis in 1833, the only child and heiress of Thomas I'Anson of Prior House, Richmond. He had an heir by her, Thomas Lewis Hampton Lewis, born 1834, who was educated at Sandhurst and who entered the Army in 1852. He served in the Crimean War, from 1854 to 1856, and was at Balaclava, Inkerman, Tchernaya and Sebastopol. In 1872 he married Lettice Martha, the second daughter of Henry Prichard of Trescawen, Anglesey. He died in 1912 having had issue, Mary Gwendolen Hampton, born 1875. Under the provisions of her father's will she resumed the surname Hampton alone.
