| Description | Marriage portion, £1,200; one of the feofees in trust was J.V's brother, Thomas Vaughan, Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, since 1714, and to be created D.D. in 1740, academically much the most distinguished of the Glasfryn Vaughans.
The lands included in the jointure-trust comprised not only the Glasfryn itself, Gwern-y-dwnn, Tyddyn Bach in Carngiwch, and the Pwllheli holdings - but also interests acquired by the father Cadwaladr Vaughan in Oagathrop and Newton Burgoland.
Accompanying the release of 21 June is the lease of the day before (under the Statute of Uses). |
| AdminHistory | It is curious that the tenant of some of the Leicestershire properties was a Job Williams - was he a native of the county, or an Eifionydd man induced to migrate to the Midlands?
Mr J.E. Griffith in his 'Pedigrees' (345) is quite in the dark about the marriage of both Cadwaladr and John Vaughan: he has no idea who the wife of Cadwaladr was, and assumes that John died a bachelor. |
