Part of Wynn (of Gwydir) Papers,
With regard to a match proposed by Williams between his son and Wynn's daughter. The messenger got no further than 'Mae ych kevenyther yn whannoge y vargen a chwy' [Your cousin desires to bargain with you]. The bad success of Wynn's father in the matter of untimely matches, prevents Wynn from bargaining his children before ripe years. There is no one in this shire with whom he would sooner match; protests his friendship for Williams, with whom he is already as near in alliance as a man may be. [This relates to Elin, daughter of William Williams of Cochwillan. She was cousin of John Wynn, and wife of William Williams of Vaynol.].
