| Disgrifiad | Feofees in trust were John Wynn of Glynllifon [Sir John Wynn, bart., after his father's death in 1749] and Francis Lloyd of Rhosbeirio, Mary Lloyd's brother. Three papers: draft (TRALL/14); lease of 20 March (TRALL/15); actual settlement of 21 March, 1745-6 (TRALL/16).
Other parties to the trust were the ninth John Griffith of Llanddyfnan [who, according to the draft settlement, TRALL/14, was substituted for William Vaughan of Bronheulog, co. Denbigh, who was married to Mary's sister Ann] and Robert Carreg of Carreg. The financial stringency that caused the Trallwyn mortgage in 1742 and its assignment to Richard Lloyd in 1744 ended in a romance in that the son of the original mortgager married the daughter or the assignee in 1746; it is well to remember that Mary Lloyd was one of the witnesses to her father's signature in Sept., 1744, and that it was she who actually received £22.10.0 interest on the assigned mortgage on Sept. 26, 1745.
William Lloyd, the heir to the Trallwyn lands after his father's death in 1744, was later (1761) to become rector of both Edern and Llanengen. He was not, as one might naturally expect, an alumnus of Jesus College, Oxford, but of Jesus College in 'Cambridge' (Venn: 'Alumn. Catab'., III, i, 97); Sizar and Scholar, graduated B.A. in 1740, taking his M.A. in 1754. |
