| Description | by which Ellin Griffith of Porth yr Aur, Caernarvon, and Margaret, her eldest daughter and heir, vest their lands in six trustees - these lands and hereditaments comprised Porth yr Aur itself, Cae yn Llanfair, Coed Mawr, Cae'r Lôn Gau, Cae Maesglas, Hole in the Wall, the Oven House, Hen Colledge, fee-farm rents issuing from Maes y Parker and Wern Ddu - all in the parish of Llanbeblig; also the two Talybonts, and the two Traians, Tyddyn y Maen Hir, Cae'r Meirch, and Melin Talybont, all in the parish of Llangeinwen, co. Anglesey.
Ellin G. was the widow of the John Griffith who was drowned at Traeth y Lafan in 1671, and Margaret, be it noticed, is the eldest daughter and heir. The categorical evidence of this document is sufficient to prove that there is something radically wrong with the Pedigrees, 177: this Margaret is not included at all among the children of J. and E.G., but there are two sons and another daughter; the only Margaret figuring in the Pedigrees at this period is a grand-daughter if J. and E.G., and married to William Owen of Cremlyn 0 it is far more likely W.O. who figures in this indenture of 1696, was married to the Margaret, eldest daughter and heir. |
