Colchester pedigree

An original bundle comprising a pedigree of the family descended from Richard Colchester (d. 1643) of Westbury Court, Gloucestershire, down to 25 Oct. 1773, and notes by Octavius Morgan on the pedigree, 1869. Jane (d. 1767), daughter of Maynard Colchester, married Thomas Morgan (1702-1769) of Ruperra. The notes suggest that the pedigree was probably drawn up by John Morgan. Also two letters, 1869, relating to Dorithea Colchester.

Jones v. Morgan

The file includes a case for counsel's opinion relating to the river Ebboth, which threatens to quit its course, leaving bridges and mills useless, 1776; and pedigrees, dated 1785, of the Bodenham family of Rotherwas, Herefordshire, c.1530-1634, Katherine Bodenham (d.1587) being the wife of William Morgan of Tredegar, and Elizabeth Bodenham being his great-grandson Thomas Morgan of Machen's wife.
