| Description | The document definitely says she was the widow of William Owen and that Hen Ysgol was part of her dower of thirds. What had happened to the reversion to these thirds secured by Owen Hughes and David Owen in 1703? She was evidently a widow again by 1727, and living with the Bodvels at Bodfan in Llandwrog; in fact, the lease was witnessed by two ladies, Ann Bodvel, wife of Lloyd Bodvel of Bodfan and by a close relative of hers, Margaret, wife of Chancellor Robert Lewis of Trefdraeth. Why, however, the widow Owen lived at Bodfan at this period is a mystery - no relationship can be made out from the Pedigrees.
The third doc. is an assignment of this lease (17 Jan., 1727-8) from Owen Meyrick to William Evans of Vaenol, father of Charles Evans of Trefeilie - both docts., no doubt, ancillary to the full release of all the Trefeilir lands on the 16th (119). |
