Crosse family, of Shaw Hill (England)

Bathafarn Park estate was owned by the Thelwall family since the 16th century; the family also acquired the Plas Coch estate. The Bathafarn estate passed from the Thelwalls following the marriage of Mary Thelwall with Robert Price, the second son of Roger Price of Rhiwlas, Merioneth. Their heir was Thelwall Price who died without issue in around 1767 and who bequeathed the estate to his cousin Richard Price who assumed the name of Thelwall. Another branch of the Thelwall family acquired the Nantclwyd estate. This estate also passed from the family following the marriage of the heiress, Martha, with Andrew Kenrick of Woore Manor, Shropshire. How, or when, the Crosse family acquired the estates is not revealed in the archive.
