| Description | This doct. is a melancholy sign of the decadence of the Owen family, once important enough to ally itself with the Thomases of Coed Alun and the Hamptons of Henllys (J.O. himself was married to a Glynn of Llaear).
Owen Hughes was the Beaumaris attorney, Yr Arian Mawr, who grew powerful enough to challenge the Bulkeley power in Anglesey, as to become M.P. for Beaumaris for a short period at the end of the 17th cent. (for his family connections, see Pedigrees, 116, 176-177, 272, and for a too fantastic legend about his misdoings, read Angharad Llwyd: Hist. Mona, 143-146).
The witnesses to this doct. were Beaumaris professional men, friends of Owen Hughes.
Docts. HENB/92-98 are supplementary, being leases of possession and bonds of obligation relating to the mortgage in dee dated April , 1682 |
