(2) Wiston.
The exact relationship between the Picton and Wiston branches of the family has never been determined. The Wogans of Wiston, great landowners in Daugleddy, became prominent in local affairs, particularly in the 15th and 16th century. A number of them were knights - Sir JOHN WOGAN (died 1419), his grandson, Sir HENRY WOGAN, steward of the earldom of Pembroke in 1448 (his wife was Margaret, daughter of Sir William Thomas, later Herbert, of Raglan), and his son, Sir JOHN WOGAN, whose wife was Matilda, daughter and heiress of William Clement, lord of Geneu'r-glyn, Cardiganshire, and who died at the battle of Banbury, 26 July 1469 (H. T. Evans, Wales and the Wars of the Roses, 109-10, 176, 184). The latter's grandson, Sir JOHN WOGAN, was a gentleman usher of the king's chamber and was granted certain offices in Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire in consideration of his services in England and abroad. He was sheriff of Cardiganshire in 1542 and 1556, and of Pembrokeshire in 1543 and 1554. He married Anne, the heiress of William ap Phillip of Stone Hall, Pembrokeshire. He died 23 August 1557. His grandson, JOHN WOGAN, who married Cecil, daughter of Sir Edward Carne of Ewenny Priory, Glamorganshire, was sheriff of Cardiganshire in 1564, and of Pembrokeshire in 1567 and 1572; he died 4 May 1580. His heir, Sir WILLIAM WOGAN (died 1625), was knighted before 1611. He married Sybil, daughter of Sir Hugh Owen of Orielton. Their son, Sir JOHN WOGAN (1588 - 1644), married Jane, daughter of Sir Thomas Colclough of Tintern, Wexfordshire, prior to 1628. He was educated at Jesus College, Oxford. He was sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1636, and Member of Parliament for the same county in 1614, 1620-2, 1625, 1626, 1628-9, 1640, and 1640-4. Colonel THOMAS WOGAN, the regicide, was the third son of Sir John Wogan and his wife Jane Colclough. He was a well-known parliamentarian in the struggle between the king and Parliament, and held the rank of captain (later colonel). In March 1648 he was ordered by Cromwell to go to Wales to assist in the restoration of peace in Pembrokeshire and the adjoining counties. He was praised by colonel Thomas Horton for his services in the fighting which culminated in the battle of S. Fagans on 8 May 1648. He was Member of Parliament for the borough of Cardigan in 1646-53 when he presented a petition from the town for a free school. In January 1649 he acted as one of the king's judges and signed the death warrant. He sat in the Rump Parliament of 1659. At the Restoration he was summoned to trial, and on 6 June 1660 was excepted from the Act of Oblivion. He surrendered on 27 June 1664 and was imprisoned, but on 27 July 1664 he escaped from the Tower with other prisoners. It seems that he fled to Holland, and in 1666 he was in Utrecht. He was still alive in 1669 (Trans. Cymm., 1946-7, 214).
The Wogans remained at Wiston until the estate was sold to John Campbell (lord Cawdor) in 1794

: Joanna Wogan (d.1504) of Wiston 13
Joanna was the daughter of Sir Henry Wogan of Wiston 14 and Margaret, the daughter of Sir William ap Thomas of Raglan Castle in Gwent. Joanna came from wealthy and influential stock; her father and brother, Sir John, were men of consequence in Pembrokeshire while her uncle, the Yorkist William Herbert, earl of Pembroke, was perhaps the most powerful man in south Wales during the 1460s. 15 The ties that bound the Wogans and the Herberts together were close and strong. While Herbert devoted himself to the rulership of much of mid and south Wales – among the more important of the many offices he held were the justiciarship and chamberlainship of the Principality of South Wales – he depended on men like Sir Henry Wogan to govern Pembrokeshire on his behalf.
Working alongside Wogan was the earl's illegitimate brother, also called William Herbert, who was appointed treasurer of the earldom of Pembroke. In a distinguished career lasting over forty years Wogan had served both kings and earls of Pembroke in both peace and war. He had certainly come to the attention of the Welsh poets who praised his achievements and celebrated his longevity with the epithet Hir Hen . Following his war service in France under Henry V, Wogan moved into local administration serving as deputy-justiciar of the Principality of South Wales for periods in the 1440s and 50s, as well as steward of the lordships of Pembroke, Haverford and Pebidiog. Unfortunately, kinship and war were to claim his son and heir, Sir John, who died fighting in support of his uncle Earl William. The earl and his younger brother, Sir Richard Herbert, were executed following their defeat at the battle of Edgecote in 1469, another of the battles that marked the continuation of the Wars of the Roses, and among their companions in death was a cousin of Sir William Perrot, namely, Jankyn Perrot of Scotsborough near Tenby.
That the Perrots drew closer to the Wogans is no surprise given the latter's political pre-eminence in the county but the fact that their overtures of friendship were reciprocated and cemented in marriage is perhaps evidence of the Perrot family's increasing prominence and growing economic strength. The marriage between William and Joanna was most likely arranged sometime in the 1460s by Thomas Perrot esquire and Sir Henry Wogan, when the latter's power was at its height. Wogan was a realist and political pragmatist who served, prior to the Wars of the Roses, Duke Humphrey of Gloucester's regime as earl, and after the conflict began both Lancastrian (Jasper Tudor) as well as Yorkist (William Herbert) earls of Pembroke. However, if his tomb effigy is taken as evidence of his true loyalty during the Wars of the Roses then he was a Yorkist at heart. He died on 24 May 1475 and was buried alongside his wife in Slebech church in a finely carved tomb sporting their sculptured effigies. Close examination of Sir Henry's effigy reveals a Collar of the Order of Sun and Roses carved around its neck , an order established by the Yorkist king Edward IV (Fig. 2).16
