The file comprises deeds relating to Penporchell, which had been purchased by Thomas Griffith from William Lloyd of Hendre in 1696. It was one of the premises settled by Edward Griffith of Plasnewydd on his daughter, Elizabeth, when she married Robert Wynne of Cwm Mein in 1713. By 1728, Penporchell, or at least part of it, was in the ownership of Thomas Williams of Meiriadog, who mortgaged it to Dorothy Jones in 1733. He settled Penporchell and lands in Twysog on his daughter, Mary, when she married Thomas Jones, son of Robert Jones of Dymeirchion, 1749. Several assignments and further mortgages were undertaken between 1766 and 1798, by which time the premises were in the hands of Thomas Jones, grandson of Thomas Jones of Cwm. In 1801, one of the assignees, John Lloyd Salusbury, purchased the lands in Twysog, hence their disappearance from the deeds at this point. There were further mortgages and assignments of Penporchell from 1803 to 1852. Thomas Jones died in 1860 and by his will appointed a trustee to sell or mortgage Penporchell to pay legacies and to hold the estate in trust for his eldest daughter, Miriam. She mortgaged it, with the trustee's consent, in 1863 to Gabriel Roberts, who immediately assigned the mortgage to Eliza Parry. George Griffith purchased the property in 1864 and leased the premises back to Miriam Jones at the same time. -- Another part of Penporchell, Penporchell Uchaf, remained in the possession of the Wynne family until the Plasnewydd estate was sold in 1808.

Two terms of years on existing mortgages were assigned in 1793, and again in 1812 in trust for the new owner of the Plasnewydd estate, John Heaton.

In 1778, Thomas Hughes of Bronwhylfa, St Asaph, had purchased Hafod, Merllyn, a mill and Nant from the trustees of the will of Sir Lynch Salusbury Cotton, and in 1787 he sold all four properties to Robert Watkin Wynne of Plasnewydd. The latter mortgaged Hafod, Merllyn and the mill in 1790, and Nant and another property, Ty Celyn, in 1798. The Hafod properties, like most of the Plasnewydd estate, came into the ownership of the Heatons.

An entail created by a deed of 1529 meant that the lands descended to Jane, daughter of his brother, William, and wife to William John ap Richard.
