Hanes bywgraffyddol

In 1852 the Aber-mad estate was bought by Lewis Pugh, grandson of Humphrey Pugh and Elizabeth of Pen-y-graig, Llanychaearn, Cardiganshire. Lewis Pugh made an estimated fortune of a quarter of a million pounds after he bought the lease of the Copa Hill mine, Cwm Ystwyth, in 1834 after the Alderson brothers were declared bankrupt; a lease which he surrendered in 1844. He died in 1868 and the Aber- mad estate, comprising eleven farms in the Ystwyth valley and extensive sheep walks on Pumlumon, passed to his nephew, Lewis Pugh Evans (1837-1908) of Lovesgrove, Cardiganshire, on condition that he assumed the name and arms of Pugh.

The Pugh family also owned Cymerau in the parish of Eglwys-fach, Cardiganshire. Major-General Lewis Pugh (d. 1981) left Cymerau in 1978 to live in Montgomeryshire. He was the son of Major Herbert Owain Pugh, who was born at Aber-mad in 1874 and the grandson of Lewis Pugh Pugh (1837-1908).
