-- Foulke, William Parker William Parker Foulke was a US scientist and dinosaur artist who found the first American dinosaur skeleton, Hadrosaurus, a duck-billed dinosaur. The fossilized bones were found by workmen in a Cretaceous marl (a crumbly type of soil) pit on the John E. Hopkins farm in Haddonfield, New Jersey beginning in 1838. Foulke heard of the discovery and recognized its importance in 1858. The dinosaur was excavated and named by US anatomist Joseph Leidy who named it Hadrosaurus foulkii (meaning "Foulke's big lizard"). [http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/F/Foulke/1.html ]

"The Dinosaur Hunters" -

In 1858, in a sand quarry in Haddonfield, New Jersey, William Parker Foulke discovered a near complete dinosaur skeleton - Hadrosaurus foulkii.   This was the first reasonably complete skeleton found in the world.   The real significance of it, however, was that for the first time scientists were able to study limb proportions, concluding that these animals walked upright in a bipedal mode - a revolutionary line of thought for reptiles.  

This specimen is now on display at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.   It was originally mounted in 1868 in bipedal pose, by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (who also designed 'Owen's Dinosauria' for the Crystal Palace display in 1854).

Foulkes Family Tree (Cil Owen) - Doc1312.pdf

http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Wales/North-Wales/Eriviat-Hall.aspx

Eriviat was associated with what was to become the Ffoulkes family at least as early as the time of
Ednyfed AP Goronwy Llwyd (fl. 1457).

The earliest mention of a member of the family in the archive appears to be a 1518 grant by
Goronwy AP Ieuan AP Einion (d. 1525), a free tenant of the township of Eriviat.

Einion Llwyd was the son of
Ednyfed AP Goronwy Lloyd.

Ffoulkes ap Thomas ap Goronwy ( fl. 1539-1573), son of Thomas ap Goronwy ( fl. 1524-1545) and great-great-great grandson of Ednyfed, was to provide the family name as the traditional Welsh
patronymics fossilized into an English surname.

After Ffoulkes, the estate passed from father to son for several more generations until the
death in 1728 of Robert Ffoulkes.

He was succeeded by his youngest brother Peter.

His four eldest sons all died without issue so that the estate descended on his fifth son,
John Ffoulkes (1699-1758), who acquired the Rhydonen estate in Llantysilio, Denbighshire, through his marriage with Catherine, daughter and heir of Henry Roberts of Rhydonen, in 1729.

The estate then descended from father to son for several generations: to John Ffoulkes (1736-1814) who married Margaret Clough of Plas Clough;
to John Powell Ffoulkes (1770-1826) who married Catherine Mary Jocelyn, daughter of Robert Jocelyn by Elizabeth, daughter of John Salesbury of
Bryn y Barcut, Denbighshire; and to
John Jocelyn Ffoulkes (b. 1813- 1858).

He had eight daughters and the estate appears to have passed to his second daughter Edith Caroline, who married P.H. Humberston of Glan y Wern, Denbighshire.
