| Teitl | Release by Sir Edward Herbert of Montgomery [aft. the first Lord Herbert of Chirbury] and Dame Mary his wife, to William Owen of Llansadwrn and Rowland Owen ap Jenkin [Rowland Owen of Ucheldre], for a consideration of £415, of several interests in Anglesey, viz., moiety of Tyddyn Ucheldre, moiety of Tyddyn Catteris, Tyddyn Carnall, moiety of Melin, Cadnant and Gored Cadnant in the township of Porthaythwey, moiety of Tyddyn Crymlyn [Cremlyn] Uchaf, Tyddyn Llansadarn; also moiety of Tyddyn Myrddin Einion [Myrthyn Eigan], Tyddyn y Berllan, Tyddyn Howell Whyedd (?) and Tyddyn David ap Howell Wilcocke ap Rees; names of present tenants and actual rent in each case. |
| Disgrifiad | William Owen of Llansadwrn must be William Owen ap Rhys, who had married Mawd, sister of Rowland Owen ( at the time he had the tenure of Tyddyn Cremlyn and Tyddyn Llansadwrn, paying annually for both, 6/2).
On the dorse are numerous signatures, witnesses to the signing and sealing, witnesses to the seisin, and witnesses to the complicity of the tenants in possession e.g., the merchant script of Hugh Arthur asnd Gabriell Roberts.
All the Cadnant interests were held by Cadwaladr Roland Wynn "de Penheskyn", but Mr. J.E. Griffith has no such name in his Penhesgin table as a son to Richard Wynn who was drowned at Abermenai in 1590. There is a Cadwaladr Wynn in his table but he was not of Penhesgin at all, but Ty'nycaeau (Pedigrees, 53).
Annexed to the main document is a memorandum by Rowland Bulkeley of Porthamel of his own interest in Ucheldre (through his wife Jane, daughter of Rowland Bulkeley, late of Cremlyn, deceased), but that he "did attorne and agree to the said deede", i.e., the indenture between Sir Edward and the two Owen's. |
