The file comprises a deed for the sale by Elizabeth Giffard to John Wynne Griffith of Tyddyn Ucha.

The file comprises deeds for Tyddyn Thomas Foulke, otherwise called Tan yr Eglwys or Tan y Fynwent, Tu yn y Bryn and a sitting place in the parish church of Henllan. The properties were mortgaged by Thomas Foulkes and Alce, his wife, in 1699, and were sold by their son, John, to Robert Wynne, son of Charles Wynne of Grygor, in 1707. In 1736, Robert Wynne's son, John, took out a mortgage which was assigned back to his father following his death in 1757. The properties formed part of the lands mentioned in the marriage settlement of Robert Wynne's daughter, Elizabeth, when she married Ambrose Lewis of Beaumaris in 1752. John Griffith (3) of Garn purchased them in 1777 from John Bodychen Sparrow, who had acquired them through his marriage to Anne, the daughter of Ambrose Lewis and Elizabeth Wynne. Some time before 1757, the name of Tyddyn Thomas Foulke was changed to Tyddyn Tan yr Eglwys, but it also seems to have been called Tan y Fynwent. [The premises were later settled to uses of a settlement between John Wynne Griffith and his mother, 1801].

The file comprises deeds for Tyddyn Glan y Ffynnon, Gwaun Dwysog and other properties in Tywysog and Ereifiad, purchased between 1748 and 1756 by John Griffith (2) of Garn from Henry Hughes the younger and the administrators of Catherine Raper, surviving heirs of Hugh Lloyd of Pwllheli, grocer. Hugh Lloyd had mortgaged the premises in 1722 and in his will, made the following year, he directed that payment of his debts should be met from the rents and profits of his lands. Attempts were made to pay his debts and legacies by means of assignments and further mortgages between 1729 and 1748, but eventually the decision was made to sell. The purchase was delayed by the death of Catherine Raper in 1751, by legal actions concerning debts on the estate and by a claim to title by a niece of Hugh Lloyd. Under John Griffith's will, proved 1759, Gwaun Dwysog and other purchased premises were devised to trustees to raise portions for his daughters and thereafter to his son to become part of the entailed estate. The final assignment involved in the conveyance did not take place until 1764, six years after his death. -- The bundle includes mortgages, probate records for Hugh Lloyd, 1723, Catherine Raper, 1751, 1754, and her daughter, Sarah Taylor, 1754, and deeds of sale to John Griffith, 1748/9, 1756.

The file comprises deeds for Ty Gwyn and premises in Tre'r-llan, and Ty Coch, Henllan, which were described in the marriage settlement of Thomas Lloyd of Vaynol and Mary, daughter of Richard ap Harry Peake, in 1630. By 1731, the properties were in the ownership of William Lloyd, who mortgaged them to Jane Hughes of Henllan in 1742. He sold them in 1749, together with a seat in Henllan church, to Robert Thomas of Henllan, still encumbered by the unpaid mortgage and subject to leases and a life estate to himself in a room with fireplace. Robert Thomas, in his will, proved 1770, instructed that his daughter, Susan, wife of William Hughes of Plasmyvod, was to receive the rents and profits. There appears to have been a purchase of a further cottage by Susan's son, John Williams, in 1784. Ty Gwyn and Ty Coch were eventually purchased by George Griffith of Garn from Thomas Hughes of Liverpool, who had inherited them from his father's cousin, John Hughes of Garthgynnan, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, after 1834.
