Scope and content
Miscellaneous documents relating to members of the Goodman family, transcribed for Chancellor Edward Wynne. The documents transcribed include the wills of Gabriel Goodman, DD, Dean of the Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster, dated 1600 (pp. 5-13), Thomas Goodman, of Plas Ucha, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, 1623 (pp. 33-39), and Godfrey Goodman, Bishop, late of Gloucester, 1655 (pp. 43-50); some account of the Goodman family; rules for the good government of Goodman's School at Ruthin; conveyances; marriage settlements; records of litigation relating to lands limited for the use of charities under the will of Bishop Godfrey Goodman; etc.
Dr Edward Wynne started most of the transcripts which were then continued for him by other scribes, and he has added several remarks on the documents. Goronwy Owen, then a seventeen-year-old schoolboy, transcribed most of the earlier part of the volume, during the Christmas vacation of 1739, as shown by this note by Dr Wynne on p. 72: 'January ye 11th 1739-40. Here ends the Transcripts of Copies of Wills &c. Beginning at Page ye fift & wrote by Grono Owen in ye Christmas Holydays 1739 for ye Preservation of them By my Order'.
