Clenennau Letters and Papers,

Letters exchanged between members of the Maurice and Owen families of Clenennau and Brogyntyn, and other correspondence from friends or associates in Wales and England, together with a number of important official documents deriving from county administration in Caernarfonshire during the Tudor and Stuart periods, 1485, 1573-1698. Many of the early letters and papers, 1580-1622, relate to the joint deputy lieutenancy in Caernarfonshire of Sir William Maurice and Sir John Wynn, showing their preoccupation with the raising and organisation of militia troops for the defence of Caernarfonshire and for despatch to Ireland. Other topics include Sir William Maurice's position as deputy vice-admiral of North Wales and the protracted civil lawsuits in which he was engaged. The collection also constitutes an important historical source for the conduct of the Civil War in North Wales. Items from that period primarily concern Sir John Owen and his brother, Col. William Owen, Royalist commanders at Conwy and Harlech respectively, and their subsequent treatment under the Commonwealth and Restoration, 1643-1666. Many of the letters from 1678 to 1698 reveal the life of Sir Robert Owen, his debts, estate business, cultural interests and attachment to the Jacobite cause, together with contemporary political news. Apart from individuals already mentioned, prominent correspondents include the Privy Council of Elizabeth I, mostly through Henry Herbert, President of the Council in the Marches of Wales, 1587-1600; Sir Henry Johnes of Abermarlais, 1605-1616; Ralph, Lord Eure, 1607-1617; members of the Brynker family, 1603-1681; the Wynn family of Glyn and Sylfaen, 1625-1697; the Anwyl family of Park, 1636-1693; Charles I, Prince Rupert and Prince Maurice, 1642-1647; Lord Byron, 1644-1648; John Williams, Archbishop of York, 1645-1646; George Twisleton, 1649-1660; the Godolphin family of Abertanat, 1658-1698; John Gadbury, 1679-1688; and Edward Lhuyd, 1696-1697.

Maurice, William, Sir, 1542-1622

Wynn of Gwydir papers (Panton group)

The papers in this Panton group of Wynn of Gwydir papers were arranged into chronological order, numbered in conjuction with related papers in other collections, and catalogued in the printed 'Calendar of Wynn (of Gwydir) papers' (NLW, 1926). Gaps in the sequence of numbered items in this group represent papers in those other collections. The list of corringenda in the printed calendar have been incorporated into the current catalogue, including a few assigned dates that were found to be wrong as a result of further research; as a result of correcting these dates, a number of items (eg, 133 and 201) are now out of chronological position. The papers in the Panton group are numbered 1-2872 (passim), comprising a main series numbered 1-2846, and a supplement numbered 2850-2872 (both passim), and have been bound as NLW MSS 9051-9069. The papers should be ordered by their NLW MS volume number, although, as they have been microfilmed, they will normally be issued to readers as films: NLW MSS 9051 (NLW Film 1017), 9052 (1017-18), 9053 (1018), 9054 (1019), 9055 (1019-20), 9056 (1020), 9057 (1021), 9058 (1021-1022), 9059 (1022), 9060 (1023), 9061 (1023-1024), 9062 (1024), 9063 (1025), 9064 (1025-1026), 9065 (1026), 9066 (1027), 9067 (1027-1028), 9068 (1028) and 9069 (1029). The papers may be referred to either by their calendar reference, eg, Wynn of Gwydir 58, or by their volume and item number, NLW MS 9051E/58.

Rug estate estate papers and title deeds

Title deeds and family and estate papers belonging to the Rug estate near Corwen, Merioneth, which became linked with Gogerddan in the mid-eighteenth century via the Pughe family of Mathafarn (q.v.). Rowland Pughe had married Elizabeth Salesbury of Rug, c. 1721, and their daughter, Maria Charlotta, married Thomas Pryse of Gogerddan [c. 1738] The papers
mainly concern the Salesbury family of Rug, and those related to them by marriage, such as Thelwall of Plas y Ward, Goodman of Abenbury and Pughe of Mathafarn. The title deeds, 1529-1717, refer to properties mainly in Corwen, Gwyddelwern and Llansanffraid Glyndyfrdwy, together with a few other locations in Wales and England. The family and estate papers, 1566-[1745] include family settlements, very few wills, mortgages, rentals and a sixteenth century inquisition into rents, accounts, a small number of legal papers, and letters.

Mathafarn estate papers and title deeds

Estate papers and title deeds of the Mathafarn estate, which were identified as a distinct group within the Gogerddan archive by Glyn Parry at NLW. Mathafarn was gained by Gogerddan when Thomas Pryse married Maria Charlotta, daughter of Rowland Pughe, c. 1738. Gogerddan sold the Mathafarn estate in 1752 but the deed confirming the sale to Dame Frances Williams Wynn (acting for her son, Sir Watkin) is dated 1754. No definite reason can be given for the retention of the title deeds at Gogerddan after the sale of the Mathafarn estate to Wynnstay. These may be the deeds which were retained to settle a dispute with Mr Owen (letter from John Chambre, 3 Sept. 1754, papers of Thomas Pryse, ref. GCC1/15)
This section includes title deeds, 1403-1754, family settlements and probate records, 1505-1742, mortgages, 1569-1734, mining leases, 1698-1713, legal papers and arbitration awards, 1546-[c. 1743/4], and letters, 1704-1734.
