Pedigree roll drawn by Water Hopkins, and finished at Brecon, 10 Dec. 1633, showing Sir William Morgan of Tredegar's lines of descent from various great personages, including from Edward I, king of England; Alfonsus, king of Castille; Philip, king of France; Peter, king of Spain; William, earl of Henalt [Edward III's father-in-law]; Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent; Richard, earl of Arundel; Roger Quincy, earl of Winchester; William, earl of Ferrers; John, lord Wake; James, lord Audley; Walter Devereaux, lord Ferrers of Chartley; Ralph, lord Boteller; Robert, lord Whittney; and Thomas, lord Roch. -- The descents are padded to some extent, with some lines of descent effectively duplicating others, including those showing Sir William Morgan's descent from Edward II, Edward III and Edmund of Langley, duke of York, son, grandson and great grandson of Edward I; and from Thomas Holland and Edmund Holland, earls of Kent, the grandson and great grandson of Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent. -- The roll encloses three pages of notes by Octavius Morgan, including "this pedigree is a good illustration of the practice of ostentatious pedigree making which prevailed in the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I & Charles I. It probably took its use from the researches which were made in the time of Henry VII to ascertain the Tewdwr descent, and was revived again in the time of Edward VI when a great stir was made to draw out the Herbert pedigree on the creation of the second Earl of Pembroke ..."

Armorial pedigree roll of the Morgan family of Crindai, showing the descent of William Morgan of Crindai (b. c.1617, fl. 1663) from the generation of Miles fitz Walter (c.1097-1143), earl of Hereford. The roll appears to be contemporanous with the Morgan pedigree rolls of 1633 (P 1/6-7).

A composite manuscript of loose papers and fragments of manuscript volumes. It contains poetry and prose, mostly in Welsh, much of the poetry being addressed to the Owen family of Brogyntyn and Clenennau and other related families. Apart from a late-sixteenth century awdl by Wiliam Llŷn (ff. 57-58), the other items all belong between the first half of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century.
Fragments apparently once part of books, some of which perhaps were never bound, are: a narrow folio of cywyddau and englynion by Mathew Owen, in the hand of Nathanael Jones (ff. 20-26), written not before 1656 (see ff. 24 verso-25), with autograph englynion added by Harri Howel (f. 20 verso) and by Nathanael Jones (f. 20 verso, 23); a folio manuscript containing cywyddau to Lewis Anwyl of Parc and his family, dated 1627-1636 (ff. 38-55), written by two good hands of the first half of the seventeenth century, one responsible for ff. 38-50 verso, the other ff. 51-55; a quarto manuscript with transcripts of poetry of the Gogynfeirdd (ff. 113-122; paginated 1-20), by a seventeenth-century hand similar to that of Morris Evans (cf. ff. 93-94, 123-141); pedigrees of Welsh royal lines, the Maurices of Clenennau, etc., in English (ff. 123-141; original foliation 1-12 survives), in the hand of Morris Evans (ff. 123-127 verso, 129-134 verso) and a second hand (ff. 128 recto-verso, 135-141); a narrow folio of canu brud attributed to Myrddin, Taliesin, etc. (ff. 178-186), written by Nathanael Jones, not before 1651 (ff. 182 verso, 183 verso 'aetatis suae a 21o Feb: 1650 27'); a folio manuscript of canu brud, mainly cywyddau, by Dafydd Llwyd and others (ff. 189-207), in a poor hand of the mid seventeenth century, probably that of Thomas Edwards to judge by pentrials on f. 196 verso, who refers to Tregeiriog (f. 199 verso) and 'Llanfylling fairings' (f. 207 verso); an octavo manuscript containing poems by Robin Clidro, etc., in a seventeenth or eighteenth century hand (ff. 210-219); and a folio manuscript of autograph cywyddau and englynion by Huw Morys, some addressed to William Owen and Sir Robert Owen (ff. 222-226 verso). Poetry written on loose papers includes autograph poems by Huw Morys (ff. 12-18), John Owens (ff. 59-71; f. 69 recto-verso may be his italic hand), Harri Howel (ff. 75-76 verso, 90 recto-verso), Owen Gruffydd (ff. 84-89, 230-231), William Phylip (ff. 97-98 verso), John Morgan, later vicar of Conwy (f. 101 recto-verso, the poem incomplete and anonymous, dated 1688, the hand his), Siôn Rhydderch, 1732 (ff. 104-105, 227-228), and Edward Lloyd, Brewis (f. 221 recto-verso). There are probable autograph poems by Edward Rowlant (ff. 72-74 verso, 79-80) and John Richard (f. 81), and possible autograph poems by 'J. Ll.' (f. 26 verso), Mathew Owen (ff. 77-78, 232 recto-verso), Siôn Roberts (ff. 91-92), Huw Cadwaladr (ff. 106-108) and 'R.C.' (f. 163). Other poetry is in the hands of Morris Evans (ff. 93-94) and 'Theo: Ro:' (ff. 152-154 verso). Also included is a letter, 1652, from the antiquary Meredith Lloyd to Thomas Vaughan, the alchemist and poet (ff. 1-3 verso), followed by a copy of Hanes Taliesin (ff. 5-10 verso).

Pedigree roll, [1810x1819], of, and probably in the hand of, the Rev. John Bowen of Bath, incorporating seventy-five coats of arms, nearly all impaled and most fully painted by an unnamed artist, some surmounted with crests or crowns and all set within canopies, tracing Bowen's ancestors primarily from Caradog Fraichvras and Brychan [Brycheiniog] (f. 5), as well as Bleddyn ap Maenarch (f. 20).
The pedigree is based on 'the pedigree and achievements of Robert Bowen of Bally Adams' [in Queen's County (now Co. Laois), Ireland], a roll (now lost) of 1608 by Thomas Jones of Fountain Gate, Tregaron, together with a continuation of Robert Bowen's line to 1720 by William Hawkins, Ulster King of Arms (f. 32 verso). Three main lines of descent are depicted, originating with Caradog Fraichvras (f. 5), Brychan (f. 5) and Cadwaladr (f. 9) and ending with John Bowen (f. 34), with a single generation on each panel. Preceding these are the ancestors, some spurious, of Caradog and Brychan (ff. 2-4), together with a 'Regal Line' (ff. 2-8). Some collateral lines are also shown alongside the main lines of descent (ff. 29-30, 32-35); however in nine instances (ff. 4 verso-5 verso, 21 verso-23 verso, 27 verso-33 verso (versos only)), for reasons of space, the collateral lines extend onto the versos, most significantly to show the Bowens of Ballyadams (ff. 30 verso-32 verso). The early lineages (ff. 2-4), 'Regal Line' (ff. 2-8) and collateral lines are depicted without heraldry, other than occasional blazoning. Various notes have been added in the same hand, including lists of the children of Brychan Brycheiniog (ff. 6 verso-9 verso), a description of a monument to the Bowen family in Ballyadams (f. 30 verso) and notes on the original pedigree (f. 32 verso) and Thomas Jones (f. 36 verso). A few later annotations, to 1832, are on f. 34. A painted figure of a woman holding in her left hand a shield displaying the Bowen arms and in her right hand a pedigree roll is on f. 1. The matches shown in the line of Roger ap John of Llanfrynach (see f. 27) differ significantly from those in P. C. Bartrum, Welsh Genealogies A.D. 300-1400 (Cardiff, 1974), pp. 863, 865. For the Bowens of Ballyadams see Lord Walter FitzGerald, 'Ballyadams in the Queen's County, and the Bowen Family', in Journal of the Archaeological Society of the County of Kildare and Surrounding Districts, 7 (1912-1914), 3-32, and Rhys Morgan, The Welsh and the Shaping of Early Modern Ireland 1558-1641 (Woodbridge, 2014), pp. 76, 146, 193, 197.

Pedigree roll of the Morgan family of Ystradfellte, Dderw and Tredegar. The pedigree begins with Maymark, lord of Brecknock, Gwrgan, prince of Glamorgan, Rees ap Theodor, king of south Wales, Griffith ap Conan, king of north Wales, and king William the conqueror, and continues to William Morgan of Dderw, and Blanche his wife, the daughter of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar. Each person has a painted heraldic shield. Several of the males in the final generations include the date '1633', suggesting that they were alive at the time the pedigree was prepared. These include William Morgan of Dderw, esq., his father Morgan Llywelyn of Ystradfellte and his father-in-law Sir William Morgan of Tredegar, and Sir William's son William Morgan of Machen, as well as the more distantly related Sir Harry Williams, Harry Williams, esq., his son, and Thomas Price, esq. There are a very few later annotations, one dated 1843, which appear to be in the hand of Octavius Morgan.

The file comprises a display of the arms of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar (c.1560-1653), "nowe liveinge", and his ancestors as far back as Cadifor Fawr and 'Bellyr'. The roll is worn and barely legible in places.

A paper pedigree of the Morgan family of Tredegar, mounted on linen. The original pedigree starts with Sir William Morgan (c.1560-1655), and is continued to the generation of Jane Morgan (1731-1797). The pedigree is then carried down in a 19th century hand to the generation of Godfrey Charles Morgan (1831-1913), although the last dated entry is the death of his grandfather, Sir Charles Morgan in 1846.

Pedigrees of Welsh families compiled by Randle Holme the Third (1627-1699), with references to pedigrees compiled by Evan Lloyd Jeffrey (Ieuan Llwyd Sieffre), John Cain, Rhys Cain, Evan Lloyd of Ereithlyn, etc.

A volume, [late 18 cent.]-[1840s], containing pedigrees, in several hands, mostly of Anglesey and Caernarvonshire families. The earlier portions, [late 18 cent.] (pp. 37-140), were copied mostly from Llyfr Melyn Tyfrydog (now NLW MS 23969F); later additions, [?1820s] (pp. 5, 151-283), are derived from the Taicroesion Manuscript (now NLW MS 19058E and Bangor MS 13564) or from intermediate copies.
A note by Jonathan Jones of Caernarfon in NLW MS 825D (inside front cover), dated 1855, describes the present volume as having been copied 'about 60 years ago from Llyfr Melyn Tyfrydog' by Robert Jones, for John Price (d. 1804) of Mona Lodge, Amlwch, with the pedigrees being continued by Price's son, John Price of Cadnant. The volume also includes descriptions of the Five Royal Tribes of Wales and the Fifteen Tribes of Gwynedd, partly in Welsh (pp. 137-150), and various antiquarian notes and statistics [in the hand of John Price of Cadnant] (pp. 290-355), including lists of Anglesey Sheriffs to 1843 (pp. 309-323), and transcripts relating to Amlwch parish church (pp. 341-347). Items loose within the volume, including a pedigree of the Bulkely family in the hand of John Price (watermark 1825), and a newspaper cutting, [1881], listing Caernarvonshire landowners, have been placed in an archival envelope. The contents of the manuscript are listed on pp. i-iv, 1-2.
