| Description | Refers to an agreement to make an embankment from Cae Ty Bach to Cae Rhydbont to keep off the sea, and for inclosing and dividing the commons, waste land, etc.; chief proprietors were Fredrick [second] Lord Boston, Sir John Thomas Stanley of Penrhos [later first Baron Stanley of Alderley], Sir John Williams of Bodelwyddan, Margaret Lewis of Bodior, Eleanor Vickers of Llanfawr, and William Williams of Pentre Iago, Sir John Stanley also acting as trustee of the poor of the parish of Holyhead. Prime concern at first to raise embankment, to secure proportional subscriptions for the same, to provide for its repair, maintenance, and supervision; £200 required, of which Sir John Stanley and Mrs Lewis were to pay about two-thirds. The remainder of the document (3-8) concerns itself with boundaries and roads.
Two personal notes: Eleanor Vickers is here very definitely described as a widow, while J.E.Griffith: “Pedigrees” (38), she is put down as “innupt” dying in 1831, 94years of age; John Williams of Lledwigan was not only a competent surveyor who enjoyed the confidence of the landed proprietors of Anglesey, but also a prominent Presbyterian layman, brother-in-law of both Davide Roberts the surgeon of Mynydd y Gof and the Rev. David Charles of Camarthen (“Pedigrees”, 383) |
