| AdminHistory | Dr Griffith seems to have no family connection with the Griffith's of Brynodol who intermarried with the old Wynn family of Taltreuddyn. Probably the Humphrey Griffith who made his will in 1812 disposing of pretty substantial sums of money was of the Doctor's family (Bangor Manuscript 2140, Bangor Manuscript 1538), while the Doctor himself still held Taltreuddyn in 1874 (Worrall's Directory, 178). He seems to be rather young to be equated with the Griffith Griffiths who held the property in 1837 (Cynhaiarn Manuscript 75). His mother was Anne Griffith of Taltreuddyn - see a copy of her last will, Cynhaiarn Manuscript /77 (it was made on 4 April 1862) in which G.G. and his sister Mary were named as executors. Further, Dr Griffiths was nephew both to the Rev. Richard Humphreys of Dyffryn and to the Wesleyan minister J.L. Richards (see Cofiant y Parch. Richard Humphreys, pp. 10-11). |
