Wife of Thomas Stradling of St Donats in Glamorgan, who died in his youth, and Sir Rhys ap Thomas, K.G., privy councillor, chamberlain, governor, justiciar, and seneschal of most of Wales, Jenett died on Feb. 5, 1533/34 at Picton Castle, near Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire. Sister of full blood to Sir David Mathew, lord of St Fagan's Castle, Sir William Mathew, K.B., lord of Radyr, and Morgan Mathew. By her first husband Jenett was the mother of Sir Edward Stradling, Harry Stradling, and Jane, wife of Sir William Griffith of Penrhyn.

Jenett was the only legitimate daughter of Thomas Mathew, lord of Radyr in Glamorgan de jure uxoris, who was married to Katherine, daughter of Morgan ap Llewelyn, lord of Radyr, a descendant of Iestyn ap Gwrgant, last ruler of the royal house of Morgannwg and a descendant of Saint Tewdrig himself.

She was a granddaughter of Sir Dafydd ap Mathew, lord of Llandaff and seneschal of the cathedral there, said to be the standard bearer to Edward IV at the battle of Towton (1461), by his wife Gwenllian, daughter of Sir Dafydd ap Gwilym of Y Cappel in Monmouthshire [brother of Tomas ap Gwilym of Llansantffraed].

Jenett was descended through a direct male line from Aeddan ap Gwaithfoed, who took the Crusader's Cross from Archbishop Baldwin in 1188.
