Lease for a year under the Statute of Uses by which Maurice Griffith of Methlan in Aberdaron conveys his estate [subject to re-conveyance upon certain terms] to the Rev. [Chancellor] John Owen and Humphrey Jones, rector of Llanfaethlu in Anglesey. The one interest of the document is to give a correct idea of the Methlan lands about the middle of the 18th century; it can be brought into comparison with the survey of the same estate made in 1776 by a Williams Jones (Bangor Mss. 2637). The Pedigrees 271, say little of this Maurice Griffith except that he was married to a lady named Mirabillis Sheers and was living in 1723 (this indenture proves very clearly he was living no less than 29 years later). 9 March 1752
