| Title | Petition to Lord Chancellor Parker by William Jones of Plas Gwyn against John Prytherch of Llangristiolus regarding the Latter's "interruption" of the former's use of a quillet appurtenant to Tyddyn Eithein in Llangristiolus, removing "mears, abuttals, and boundaries", grubbing up gorse and furze, carrying the same forcibly away, and converting them to his own use. |
| Description | John states Tyddyn Eithin was once part of the lands of the Lady Dungannon [Ann Lewis, sole heiress of John Lewis of Presaddfed, who married as her second husband Mark Trevor, Viscount Dungannon in Ireand] and sold to him [W.J.]; he avers too that there were several persons now living who remebered that Owen Owens of Cremlyn [ W.J.'s grandfather] always said the aforsaid quillet was part and parcel of Tyddyn Eithin; Jones has enjoyed it for 25 years last past; prays a comission in the country to examine aged, sickly and infirm people, who are unable to travel to London, on the matter in dispute. |
| AdminHistory | Parker did not become Lord Chancellor before 1718 and Jones died in 1728. Provisional date, 1720. This provisional date in turn does not help to distinguish which John Prytherch figures in the Chancery petition, whether he was John Prycherth of Tregaianwho died in 1725 or his cousin of CerrigGwyddel and Ty Calch who died early in 1747. Almost certainly the latter, a somewhat quarrelsome litigant, and defendant in the suit Edwards v. Prycherth (1716) |
