File 787. - A Bill In Chancery of John Morgan of Tredegar, who claimed, as heir-at-law of his brother, Thomas Morgan (dec. 1699) ...,

A Bill In Chancery of John Morgan of Tredegar, who claimed, as heir-at-law of his brother, Thomas Morgan (dec. 1699), a capital m. called Kiffig in p's Lanbadock and Langibby and several other m's in p's Lanbadock, Langibby and Lanover, which had been settled in 1626 by his great grandfather, Sir William Morgan, on himself for life and, after his death, on one of his younger sons, Anthony Morgan, and his heirs male, with reversion on failure of heirs to the heirs of the said Sir William. It is contended that, as the son of the said Anthony died without male heirs, the property should descend to the next heirs of Sir William. But, owing to the negligence of Thomas Morgan, orator's brother, a daughter of Anthony Morgan, Mrs Morgan, alias Fermor, had unlawfully taken possession of the property and the title deeds and had pretended to have conveyed it to John Symmon of Newland, co. Glam., and others, who were conspiring to disinherit the orator, contending that a fine had been levied to ban his remainder in fee, but had refused to produce proof of these transactions. Copy.
