The foundation of the Pencerrig estate in Radnorshire was laid by David Jones (d. 1704) who built up a large estate with wealth acquired during the Civil War. He acquired Trefonnen and some neighbouring tenements and, between 1678 and 1704, built up a considerable estate around them, mainly in the parishes of Cefnllys, Llandrindod and Diserth.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, John (1670-1746) who added Bach y Graig Issa and Cwm y Gof to the estate. The Cwm y Gof portion of land included a chalybeate spring, the waters by which Llandrindod became famous. John's eldest son, Thomas Jones (1711-1782), married his cousin Hannah, daughter of Thomas Jones of Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Thomas Jones inherited the Trefonnen estate in 1746. Pencerrig estate came to the Jones family in 1761 when Jones Hope died without issue and his estates were divided between his three sisters. Pencerrig passed to his eldest sister's daughter, Hannah Jones. Their eldest son and heir, John Jones (1739-1787) died without issue. He was succeeded by his brother, Thomas Jones (1742-1803), the Welsh artist. Thomas's eldest daughter, Anna (1780-1807), inherited the Pencerrig estate and on her death it passed to her husband, Thomas Thomas of Llanbradach, Glamorgan, and then by a daughter of his second marriage to the Thomases of Llwynmadoc, Breconshire.
The Trefonnen estate passed to Thomas's youngest daughter, Elizabetha (1781-1806) and on her death to her husband, Capt. J. Dale of London, who lost it following a legitimacy lawsuit in 1813 to Middelton Jones (1754-1826), a younger son of Thomas and Hannah, who in turn devised the estate to his nephew, the son of his sister Elizabeth.
