The file comprises deeds for Buarth Bach, which was part of the lands which came into the hands of Mathew Hughes of Llanefydd when he married Gwen Davies, daughter of Alice vch John Foulke of Berain, 1662. The lands were described as a capital messuage in Dincadfel, lands called Kay Tu Hwnt i'r Berllan and Y Weirglodd, and a cottage and parcels of land, which included Buarth Bach, in the township of Bodysgawen. The properties were mortgaged twice by David Hughes, in 1716 and 1722, to Henry Williams of Denbigh. After the latter's death, his executors assigned the mortgage in 1733 to Robert Williams of Lleweni Green in trust for the payment of legacies, and the equity of redemption descended to David Hughes' daughter, Jane. In 1738 Jane and her husband, John Roberts, directed Robert Williams to assign the mortgage to Peter Jones of Plas Pantwn and to sell him the cottage and land in Bodysgawen. A settlement was made of the purchased premises in 1739 to raise £40 for the portion of P.J.'s daughter, Anne, and empowering him and Jane to raise £60 for the payment of remaining debts. By 1785 the lands were in the ownership of William Jones of St Andrews Holborn, London, and Thomas Peake, who mortgaged Buarth Bach, followed by a further mortgage in 1787, to John Madocks of Lincolns Inn. He sold it, with the consent of William Jones, to John Williams of Plasnewydd, Denbighshire, who mortgaged it in 1817. By 1832, Buarth Bach was in the ownership of Thomas Hughes of Liverpool, devisee of John Hughes of Garthgynnan, who sold it to George Griffith of Garn in 1864.
