Scope and content
The file consists of documents relating to Cae'r berllan, the title to which was much disputed in the late seventeenth century. [In his will of 1670, Robert Hughes had devised all his property in Tybrith to his wife, Ann, but the will could not be proved. An entail created by a deed of 1529 meant that the lands descended to Jane, daughter of his brother, William, and wife to William John ap Richard. However, a nephew of Robert Hughes attempted to claim title under the terms of the will, and lengthy legal disputes ensued]. The documents comprise two bonds by William John ap Richard to lease Cae'r berllan, 1695 and 1698, a bond to release right and title back to him, 1703, and a later deed by John Griffith (3) of Garn, of part of Cae'r berllan for the purpose of a new turnpike road leading from Corwen to Llanrwst, in exchange for part of the old road lying near Caer Melwr Bridge, 1781.
