William Wogan was 16 years of age and away at school in Bath when his father died [28 Nov 1714]. According to Dame Mary Wogan he led a very irregular life. He and his tutor were said to have been drinking frequently in taverns, and it was feared that he might be led to make an undesirable marriage. To prevent this, a person named Thomas Davies was sent, at the the suggestion of Thomas Lloyd, to bring him home, and in the end William married the daughter of Thomas Lloyd without the consent of his trustees. [Chancery Proceedings].

Presumably the name of the wife referred to was Anna Louisa Wogan, to whom, described as his wife, William Wogan by his will dated 17 July 1728, bequeathed an annuity of £150 for her life, charged on his lands in the parish of Wiston.

William Wogan seems to have been a great friend of the Skyrmes of Vaynor in the parish of Llawhaden, co. Pembroke. Thomas Skyrme had on 9 April 1728, acquired from William Wogan certain lands in the parish of St. Issells with power to work collieries there. This grant was confirmed by William Wogan's will, and in addition Thomas Skyrme was bequeathed a perpetual rent of £200 charged on the Wiston estate, in recognition of his good services. Legacies of £100 each were given to Thomas Skyrme and Theodosia, his wife, and of £50 to each of their children, William, Thomas, Anne and Elizabeth Skyrme.

William Wogan was sheriff for co. Pembroke in 1724 and although he was described as being rather a wild young man in his youth, he seemsto have been of a kindly and thoughtful disposition. He bequeathed to the poor of Wiston parish £30 and carefully stipulated that the recipients were not to be ordinary poor persons of the parish, but 'good livers' reduced by misfortunes to a low estate. He also gave £10 to the poor of the parish of St. Issells. He died without surviving issue and was buried at Wiston on 26 Mar 1730. His will was proved in London on 24 Oct.1730 by Thomas Skyrme the executor and residuary legatee.

After the death of her husband, Anna Louisa sued Thomas Skyrme for one-third of the manor of Wiston, 40 messuages and 4700 acres in the parishes of Wiston, Slebech and St. Issells as dower from her late husband William Wogan.

Thomas Skyrme then set forward the defence that she was not entitled to dower, as she was not legitimately married to William Wogan and further that the said William Wogan was not seised of such an estate in the said property as would entitle her to dower. [Papers of the Great Sessions, 4 Geo. ii]
