Ffeil 495D. - Pedigrees,

Part of a volume of pedigrees mainly of North Wales interest written in the early part of the eighteenth century. The section contained here comprises pp. 154-[193] and is probably the concluding portion of the original volume with some cross-references to the missing pages. Persons mentioned include 'Ellis Wynne of las ynus near harlech' (p. 165) and 'Charles [Edwards] prelat' (t. 169). There are some gaps, particularly in the matter of the Christian names of wives, but the manuscript is valuable in that some of the pedigrees are brought down to the beginning of the eighteenth century. Guarded on to the final end-papers is a sheet written in a different hand containing a pedigree marked 'Mathavarn' (David Lloyd ap Llewelyn ap Gruffith); it also bears the address 'Mr R. Roberts, Farrier, Llandderfel, Corwen'. This sheet is followed by a fragment of the index to the original volume.
