This estate belonged to the Corbet family; its owner from 1868 was Athelstone John Soden Corbet. The papers in this collection are to do with farms occupied by H. H. Jones's ancestors, the Daniel family of Caethle and Penllyn, who later purchased some of these farms.

John Jones James (1781-1837) was the eldest child of John and Jane James. He was baptized in 1781 in Rhaeadr church. He married Eliza, surname unknown, and had one legitimate daughter, Catherine Jane, who was born at sea in 1828, and one illegitimate daughter, Cornelia Ludovica Immens of Antwerp. He was a mate with the East India Service by 1805 and was later trading in India on his own account. In Calcutta, around 1836, he resided at 31 Pollock Street. He died on board the Therese off St Helena and was buried there at the county church on 22 Feb. 1837.

Born 9 March 1789, at Rhaeadr, the son of Lt John James and Mrs Jane James, he was little more than a year old when his father died. Educated perhaps at a naval school (Woolwich?), the navy became his life, marrying his wife, Sarah Margaretta Symonds at St James's Church (now the Cathedral), Bury St Edmunds, on 28 Feb. 1833, while on shore leave. Horatio served as a midshipman on the Jason (1804-1808); as a master mate on the Ethalion (1808-1810), Marlborough (in 1810), Donegal (1810-1811), Poictiers (in 1811), Foudroyant (1811-1812); as a lieutenant on the Royal Sovereign (1813-1814), as first lieutenant on the Saracen (1814-1815), as lieutenant on the Antelope (1815-1819), as first lieutenant on the Eden (1822-1823), and the Surinam (1823-1825), as lieutenant on the Hyperion (1828-1830); then, as lieutenant-commander took command of the Surly cutter (1830-1831), the Viper schooner (1831-1834), and the Tartarus steam vessel (1834-1837). In 1841, he was given a sinecure, command of the sloop Blossom, enabling him to be promoted to the rank of commander. Praised for bravery in 1830, HJ was an accomplished artist and had a keen interest in politics. He died in London on 9 October 1850, and was buried at Rhaeadr on 14 October.

Mrs Sarah Margaretta James (1802-1889) was born in Bury St Edmunds on 16 April 1802, baptised 6 Sept. 1803 (at St James's Church).
