Hanes bywgraffyddol
Mathew Evans, a solicitor and twice mayor of Aberystwyth (1734 and 1760) is the first recorded occupier of Cwmcynfelyn. He left his estate to his nephew, Mathew Davies of Wileirog-uchaf (sheriff of Cardiganshire in 1790). Mathew Davies married Jane, daughter of Roderick Richards of Plas Penglais, Aberystwyth, and had two daughters and co-heiresses. Jane, the eldest, married Isaac Lloyd Williams (1771-1846) of Lincolns Inn, the son of David Williams of Ty'n-y-wern and Ystrad Teilo in the parish of Llanrhystud, Cardiganshire. Isaac was succeeded by his eldest son, Mathew Davies Williams (1800-1860), who sold parts of the estate to the Gogerddan estate. Cwmcynfelyn appears to have passed out of the hands of the Williams family by 1881.
Hanes archifol
Clients' deeds, including Coke of Holkam and the Dukes of Montagu, inherited by Isaac Lloyd Williams from his predecessors in chambers at 7 and 8 Serles Court (now New Square), Lincolns Inn, appear to have been removed from chambers to Cwmcynfelyn by him sometime between 1818 and 1846 These were removed from the original deposit on grounds of provenance by NLW in 1996 and are now designated Peniston Lamb (Lincoln's Inn) Deeds.
