You may be aware that the Duchess of Dunraven - Ireland - owned nearby Clearwell Castle and this may be the source of your Fitzpatrick DNA. I found some information by searching using Google and information is held by the National Library of Wales which might help at http://www.llgc.org.uk/lc/lcs0066.htm#DUNRAVEN. Some Norman may have availed himself of his feudal rights....

I also have come across a family called William Gill of Navarn, mercer to whom I am indirectly related. There is a Nawan in Ireland, but I have never been clear as to whether this Nawan is a form of Newern in the FOD. The details are as follows:

1. RICHARD GILL of Nawan, Mercer (b before 1651; dictated his Will on 12th May 1676; died 29th May 1676); married MARY UK (b before 1651; died 13th of September 1689 will 1689 Gloucester Consistory Court Lydney 114); had issue:
1.1. RICHARD GILL; b before 12th May 1676 and after 1655; alive and unmarried 12th May 1676, dead before 17th June 1715 since his wife Mary is a widow by this time; married MARY MORGAN before 1691 (could be MARY MORGAN (baptised 5th February 1665: will GDR 1715/124 proved 17th June 1715) daughter of THOMAS and PRUDENCE MORGAN of Coleford and mentioned as MARY GILL in THOMAS MORGAN’S Will of 1710).

Happy hunting.
