| Title | Two copies of the release from William, Viscount Chetwynd, as son and heir of his late father (by the direction of Richard, Lord Penrhyn and others) to John Chetwynd, Earl Talbot, and his heirs, of the undivided moiety of the Penrhyn estate for securing £7,500 and interest; on payment thereof, the estate to be conveyed to Lord Penrhyn and his heirs. |
| Description | This very complicated summary of the doct. (dorse) is only another was of saying that Lord Penrhyn had bought up the moiety of the estate that had been in the hands of the Yonge family since the marriage of Gwen Williams to Sir Walter Yonge in 1691. There is also a lease, dated 13 July, [under the Statute of Uses] for a year to vest the possession. This lease and release were the culmination of a long series of transactions dating at lease as far back as 1737, beginning with the settlements of Sir William Yonge [son of Gwen W. and Sir Walter Yonge] and developing various assignments, conveyancesm and re-conveyances, up to this triangular bargain between Chetwynd, Talbot and Richard, Lord Penrhyn. It was far from being the very simple matter described in Pedigrees, 187.
Eighteen papers altogether. |
| AdminHistory | The "Release" of 14th July, 1785, shows the involvement of 'Talbot' & of 'Chetwynd'. The following may show the reason for the involvement: at worst, ot probably shows who was who:
1. Charles Talbot, eminent lawyer, Lord High Chancellor of England, cr. Baron Talbot. (Ob. 1737.)
2. His son, William PC., 2nd Baron Talbot, cr. Early Talbot 1761, Baron Dynevor 1780. (Ob. 1782)
3. His nephew, John Chetwynd, 3rd Baron Talbot, cr. Viscount Ingestre and Earl Talbot (1784). (Ob.1793)
4. Charles KG., 2nd Earl Talbot. Ob.1849.
5. Henry John, 3rd Earl Talbot, who succ. as 18 E. of Shrewsbury, 1856.
Info. Debrett's 'Peerage', 1929.
The catalogue mentions 'William, Viscount Chetwynd': I have been unable to fins such a title and suspect that it may vice 'Viscount Ingestre'.
For me, the interesting point is that the death in 1782 of William PC., may well have been another factor in delaying the final Pennant/Yonge settlement. What seems evident is that both William, and his nephew John Chetwynd, were involved. As a hypothesis, I suggest that the reason for the involvement of the Talbots may have been that Charles, 1st Baron Talbot, may have been working for the Warburtons and/or the Yonges in his professional capacity, became party to some Deed and that this responsibility passes to his heirs. |
