| Disgrifiad | Sends her a copy of an account of the death of the late Rev. John Kenrick of Wrexham in 1744 [see Wynn Hall 538]; and other papers he has found concerning his uncle Samuel Kenrick of Bewdley and James Kenrick; is intending to send her brother William a cabinet which formerly belonged to the Rev. John Kenrick's widow (vide alibi), and Captain Wynne's Bible. Refers to the Bewdley books, some of which he has presented to Dr Williams' Library in London. The second letter refers to his searches into the Kenrick family history, and enquires as to when and by what marriage the Nantclwyd estate came to the Kenricks; recalls that the Dick Kenrick of "Tumpeth yr onnen" [sic] was a descendant of the Richard Kenrick of Matthew Henry's time, and that the head of the Nantclwyd family was always a Dick Kenrick. Mentions a memorial to Andrew Kenrick (ob. 1747) and another Andrew (ob. 1778) in St. John's Church Chester. Quotes his cousin William's claim that a coat of arms bearing 3 human heads used to be at Wynne Hall, which he thought were the arms of the Wynns of Efenechtyd; but their arms are 3 goats' heads (vide their tombs in Ruthin Church), so these must have been the arms of "..the lady by whom Capt. Wynne got the Estate". |
