Of the people above, six are descended from the same family that was clearly found in Ludlow, Shropshire in the sixteenth century.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} There is evidence, but not strong, from the seventeenth century that the Ludlow Powyses came from Cockshutt, also in Shropshire (see the unpublished 1662/3 Visitation of Shropshire in the College of Arms). The Cockshutt Powyses (and Powis and Powes, etc.) are to be found in public records from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (see charters in Shropshire Record Office). There are other families of Powis, who also are probably descended from this Cockshutt branch. It is possible that these Powys/Powis/Powes are of Welsh ancestry but there is no clear evidence to support this.
