Series D 3 - Herefordshire deeds

Deeds and related papers relating to Herefordshire properties. Three files (D 3/3, 6-7) are original bundles relating to the Edwards family of Whitfield in the parish of Peterstow. -- The other five files consist of Herefordshire deeds and related papers, 1505-1845, that have been brought together in chronological order for convenience. Most of these papers were probably originally bundled together, but were found loose. They relate to properties in the parishes of Hentland, Goodrich, Bridstow, Peterstow, Marstow, and in 'Wilton', 'Clewston' and 'Owld Mill'. Properties include the capital messuage of Penmerk in the township of Little Wilton in the lordship of Wilton upon Wye, and two water corn mills called the New Mills in the parish of Eaton Bishop. The papers include leases, bonds, final concords, probates of wills, conveyances, accounts, memoranda, a map, 18 cent., and a survey, c.1845. -- These estates may be those contested in the court case, Edwards v. Scudamore, 1723-1790 (Tredegar L 2), and some at least were in the possession of Octavius Morgan, c.1845, which probably explains these papers' presence among the Tredegar estate records.
