There is also a note (fo. 14) relating to the rents of the Whitfield estate, payable to John Morgan, esq., on the death of Mrs Jones now the wife of Rev. Jones of Whitfield, formerly the widow of William Edwards of Brilstone who had settled the estate in jointure on her; the deeds are in the hands of a Mr Phillips, an attorney of Gloucester, trustee.

A rent ledger, probably of the estate of Hugh Jones, esq., and relating to properties in Abergavenny, Gelli-gaer, Llanwenarth, Mynyddislwyn, Peterstone-super-montem, Rhydri, Trevethin, and chief rent due to the king in the manor of Llwyn-du in the parish of Abergavenny (fo.62), and receipts of interest on loans. At the rear of the volume is a particular of John Hay's farm in Trevethin, giving the names of the fields, the area of each in cyfeiriau (91 'covers' in all), and the number of oak, ash and beech trees in each. -- A loose note found at fo. 62, cut from a letter of 1779 from Evan Phillips at Ruperra, relates to Llwyn-du farm and the fact that the Crown claimed quit rent and Lord Abergavenny claimed chief rent, the one tenement thus having two lords. 'Mr Jones' always thought that the farm may have been a lordship of itself, and that Theophilus Morgan, who drew up the purchase deeds, may have been ignorant that it paid a Crown rent and called it part of Abergavenny manor and charged a chief rent on it. On the rear of the note is the postscript to the letter, that Neighbour Humberstone is to marry his sister's daughter, and that Parson Jones of Machen has married the natural daughter of Thomas Edwards of Tregwilim. -- At fo. 64 is a printed rental of the estate of Hugh Jones, esq., dec., in the parishes of Abergavenny, Llanwenarth, Trefethin and Mynyddislwyn, in Monmouthshire, and Peterstone-super-montem and Rhydri in Glamorgan, filled in with the rent arrears in 1776 due to the executor, and the rent for 1777 due to the widow and to the executor. -- A loose paper at the end of the volume endorsed 'Evan Phillips's account of Mich's rents of 1779' is an account (unsettled) of Evan Phillips with John Morgan for receipts and disbursements, including 'Late Mr H. Jones', 1780-81.
