File L2/53. - Disputes over inheritance of the Ystumcegid estate,

Papers relating to two equity suits in the Court of the Great Sessions of Caernarfonshire, concerning the inheritance of the Ystumcegid estate. The first item comprises the answers of William and Robert Wynn, defendants in a case brought by Lowry Owen (nee Glynne), and other family members [1647x1658], in which the plts claimed two thirds of Robert Owen 's Caernarfonshire estate, contrary to the terms of his marriage settlement and will. The second case was brought by Owen Wynn of Glyn plt., against William Wynn and other defts, 1675-1683, concerning the title to the Ystumcegid estate which he claimed under the marriage settlement of his parents, Robert Wynn of Glyn and Catherine Owen of Ystumcegid. The file includes details of a related action brought by a lessee of John and Thomas Glynne, plt., against the tenant of Owen Wynn, deft, for ejectment from farm of lands in Criccieth, Penmorfa and other parishes in Eifionydd, comprised in the family settlements of Robert and Catherine Wynn, 1675. The matter appears to have been settled in 1683 by arbitration and a release of all further actions by William Wynn to the widow and daughters of Owen Wynn shortly after his death.
