Scope and content
Papers, 1692-1709, relating to the claims of Rees Hanmer to his parents' estates of Cynon, Montgomeryshire, and Pentre-pant in Shropshire. The file contains a case and opinion on the advisability of Catherine Hanmer transferring deeds associated with her parents' marriage settlement to her husband, John Hanmer, and the implications regarding her power to charge the estate with portions for her younger children or debts, [c. 1692]. Further documents include the answer of Dame Margaret Owen, custodian of Catherine Hanmer 's deeds and one of the defts in a lawsuit instigated by Frances Eyton, aunt and guardian of Rees Hanmer, 1706; and copies of the marriage settlement with associated deeds (1689) of John Hanmer of Pentre-pant and Catherine his wife. The case appears to have been based on the plts' accusations against Dame Margaret Owen for witholding the Cynon settlement deeds, and against other defts for neglect of the Pentre-pant estate and misapplication of the mortgage money.
