Rhydyrhalen and Croesheddyg were sold in 1711 by William Pritchard of Llanllwchaeaern, co. Card., yeoman, to David Jenkin of Llanllwchaeaern, yeoman, for £30. Three years later David Jenkin and Jenkin David, his son and heir apparent, sold the same premises to Rees Griffith of Troedyraur, co. Card., yeoman, for £45.10.0. By 1754 the premises were in the hands of John Jones the younger of Crynfryn, gent. In that year he sold Rhydyrhalen, but not Croesheddyg, to the Rev. Evan Jones of Llanarth, for £129.15.0. An unknown portion of the purchase money was paid however to Jeremiah Lloyde of Millfield, co. Card., esq., and previously of Penybont, who held a mortagage on the premises. The Rev. Evan Jones's possession of Rhydyrhalen proved to be short-lived however, for he was dead by June 1756 when his will was proved, by which time he was residing in Llanllwchaearn, probably at Rhydyrhalen. In his will he devised Rhydyrhalen to his daughter Anne, wife of George David. It is also obvious from his will that he was the uncle of John Jenkin of Rhydlydan. In 1783 Anne, who by now is described as Anne Jones of Rhydyrhalen, widow, leased Rhydyrhalen to Rees Jenkins of Clettwr for 99 years at an annual rent of £3.10.0. -- The file includes a mandate from the Archbishop of Canterbury to [license schoolmasters in Cardiganshire], 1701, probate of will of Rev.
