Pedigree and achievement, [1630], of Lewis Powell of Lamphey, Pembrokeshire, in the hand of the herald George Owen, Rouge Croix, with one hundred and twenty coats of arms, all emblazoned and painted. The pedigree is traced from 'Gwilim Cantington alias Cainton' of Eglwyswrw, Pembrokeshire, and 'Gwenlhian daughter of the Lord Rees ap Griffith', both depicted at the head of the pedigree in hand coloured portraits, and also from Rhirid Flaidd, from whom Powell's grandmother was descended. A number of collateral lines are depicted, including those of the Earls of Pembroke and of Worcester and the Warren family of Trewern, Nevern.
It should be noted that various sources, including Peniarth MSS 128, 131 and 132, give Gwilim Cantington's wife as Gwladus rather than Gwenllian (see P. C. Bartrum, 'Plant yr Arglwydd Rhys', National Library of Wales Journal, 14 (1965-66), 97-104 (p. 100)). The pedigree was checked and ratified by Owen and contains a certificate of authentication granting the arms to Powell, signed by Sir Richard St George, Clarenceaux King of Arms.

Genealogical research into the Lewis family of Gilfach and Llwyncelin, [2007], [by the donor Michael David Lewis Moore].

A volume comprising Michael Drayton's Poly-Olbion, Part 1 (London, 1622, STC 7228, ESTC S121639), and Part 2 (London, 1622, STC 7229 or 7230, ESTC S121637 or S121634), extensively annotated, 1755, by the Welsh polymath Lewis Morris.
Part 1 appears to be the 1622 edition, omitting however that version's letterpress title page and binding the index after Part 2 (now pp. 169-176); the title page of Part 2 is also missing. Morris's annotations consist of marginal notes and occasional footnotes glossing the printed text, together with underlining of text and manicules. The annotations are mostly confined to the introduction by John Selden and the notes (or 'Illustrations') supplied by him to each song in Part 1 (pp. xi-xvi, 15-21, 34-36, 50-52, 54, 66-74, 83-85, 95-99, 108-110, 122-132, 143-156, 164-169, 182-189, 191, 193-194, 209-210, 224-225, 234-235, 244, 253-256, 267-272, 274-279, 281, 300-303). There are further annotations by Morris to Drayton's songs and elsewhere (Part 1, pp. i-iii, v, vii, ix-x, 1, 4, 29, 83, 87-89, 91, 95, 102-103, 158, 213, 250, 283, 295-297; Part 2, pp. i, iii-iv, 171). Morris's notes, partly in Welsh, mainly concern the Welsh language and Welsh and Ancient British history; he has also emended the text in line with the corrections listed in the errata (Part 1, p. xx).
