History
Many of the letters and other personal papers belonged to the family of John Wynne Griffith, son of John Griffith and his wife, Jane (nee Hughes), and owner of Garn from 1791 to 1834. He was a barrister, prominent in local politics and a major in the Denbighshire militia. He had married Jane Wynne of Plasnewydd in 1785, and they had numerous children, of whom the most prominent were: Robert (1787-1818), who trained at Oxford for a career in the church, Thomas (1788-1813), an officer in 20th Bengal Native Infantry who served in India and the East Indies and died of the plague at Barrackpore, George (1790-1877), a solicitor and the eventual heir to Garn, Edward Humphrey (1792-1872), who was very active in local public life and politics, and William Henry (1805-1836), a barrister of the Inner Temple. George's only surviving son was William Douglas Wynne Griffith (1840-1927).
