Description | Arrangements made for a competent portion (sum not named), for the jointure of Ann, wife of William Lloyd, and for the jointure of Ann the daughter; feofees in trust were Owen Lloyd of Henblas (William Lloyd's brother), William Pugh of Bryngwran (who had married a sister of William Lloyd), and Hugh Kenrick of Coedana, of the Maen-y-Driw family, whose two sisters had married the two brothers William and Owen Lloyd respectively - a rather unique arrangement in that all three feofees represented the wife's interests. The lands placed in trust were the messuage of Porthllongdy, quillets in Llandyfrydog, tenements in Llaneilian, and properties in Beaumaris and Caernarfon. The younger Ann Lloyd became heiress of Henblas after the death, without issue, of her uncle Owen. Her husband, the Rev. Robert Morgan was a Mongomeryshire man, son of a sometime M.P. for the Boroughs, a graduate of Jesus College in Cambridge, and before the Civil War was promoted to important preferments both in England and Wales, including the livings of Trefdraeth and Llanddyfnan in Anglesey. Under the Puritan Act for the Propogation of the Gospel in Wales and its plurality clause, he was allowed to "elect" Llanddyfnan and abjure Trefdraeth. Otherwise he was left unmolested, and after the Restoration became Bishop of Bangor, 1666-1673. Very naturally R.M.'s signature to the settlement was witnessed by no less than four clerics - Michael Evans, chaplain to Thomas, first Viscount Bulkeley, and prominent in drawing up the bold Cavalier pronounement of 1648; Henry Evans, rector fo Llanfechell, ejected therefrom in 1650; William Lewis, possibly at a later period Precentor of Bangor; and Hugh Humphreys, after the Restoration rector of Trefdraeth, who married a sister of Owen Hughes, Yr Arian Mawr, and whose descendants received a substantial share of that acquisitive gentleman's great property |
