Estate papers and title deeds of the Mathafarn estate, which were identified as a distinct group within the Gogerddan archive by Glyn Parry at NLW. Mathafarn was gained by Gogerddan when Thomas Pryse married Maria Charlotta, daughter of Rowland Pughe, c. 1738. Gogerddan sold the Mathafarn estate in 1752 but the deed confirming the sale to Dame Frances Williams Wynn (acting for her son, Sir Watkin) is dated 1754. No definite reason can be given for the retention of the title deeds at Gogerddan after the sale of the Mathafarn estate to Wynnstay. These may be the deeds which were retained to settle a dispute with Mr Owen (letter from John Chambre, 3 Sept. 1754, papers of Thomas Pryse, ref. GCC1/15)
