File E2/2 - Pencae Isaf, p. Pencarreg

Pencae Isaf was partitioned sometime before 1778 into two parts with one moiety going to Catherine Samuel of p. Pencarreg, co. Carm. In 1778 she levied a fine upon her moiety to enure to her son Samuel Evan or Evans of Pencarreg, tailor. By his will, proved in 1823, by which time he is living in Llanybydder, he devised the premises to his daughter Ellinor Thomas of Pantyronnen, p. Llansawel, widow of John Thomas late of Llansawel, farmer. In 1838 Ellinor sold Pencae Isaf to David Jones of Ddoynant, p. Pencarreg, gent., for £160. David Jones in turn sold the same in 1865 to David Rees of Cilgell Isaf, p. Pencarreg, for £220. By his will, proved in 1890, David Rees divided the Cilgell Isaf estate in two: premises called Glanteifi, Glanteifi Cottage, Penygraig and Brynhirfaen he devised to his nephew Rees Jenkin Jones, whilst Cilgell Isaf, Pencae Bach and Pencae he devised to his nephew David James Jones of Broniestin, Aberdare, co. Glam. -- The file includes the probate of will of Samuel Evans of Llanybydder, 1823, and of David Rees of Cilgell Isaf, 1890, in which he bequeathes £100 to Brondeifi Chapel, Lampeter, towards liquidating its debts, a power of attorney from one of his legatees, Walter Thomas of Los Angeles County, California, 1891, and share certificates of David Rees of Ivy Cottage, p.
