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 presence of a draft deed of sale would suggest that the property had become forfeit to the Griffith family, intended to be sold by George Griffith in 1856.

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.

The file comprises deeds for Bryndeunydd or Bryn Issa, which was mortgaged by Richard Parry of Llwynynn, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, in 1834. An abstract shows the descent of title between 1773 and 1843. After his death the trustees of his will enlarged the property with the purchase of an encroachment from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, shortly before selling to George Griffith of Garn in 1849. This appears to be different from the capital messuage of Bryndeunydd, which was sold by John Richard Heaton to George Griffith in 1856.
