The first baron served in the Scottish wars. On 22 July 1298, he served in the battle of Falkirk and was knighted and borne his coat of arms afterwards.
John Ap Adam married Elizabeth de Gurnay, the daughter of John de Gurnay Baron of Beverstone, and Olivia Lovel. They had at least one son, Sir Thomas Ap-Adam, who left children.
This Thomas was never summoned to parliament; thus the barony became dormant.
