About these links
Each link opens the volume on Google Books with the search term already applied, so the mention is highlighted rather than leaving you on the first page. How much of a volume can be read varies — some are full view, some snippet only, and Google changes this from time to time.
The name is spelled ApMadoc, Apmadoc and Ap Madoc across these sources, and all three were searched. Results about W. Tudor ApMadoc Sr. — the lawyer and legislator — have been left out, as have the medieval Welsh “ap Madoc” patronymics, which are a different family altogether.
