File AMA 1/2 - Tredegar rentals

Annual rentals of the Tredegar estate in Monmouthshire and Glamorgan, 1670-1683, and at the rear of the volume, Breconshire, 1669-1683. The inside front cover is endorsed 'Charles Morgan, bound May 1775'. Also at the rear of the volume is a note of the death of 'my cosen' William Morgan of Grays Inn at Machen, 7 Sept. 1670 (fo. 333), a note of 'my childrens age', Thomas Morgan (b. 1664), William Morgan (b. 1665) and Charles Morgan (b. 1667) (fo. 332), and the Breconshire rentals, 1669-1682, being Richard Jones's collection in the parishes of St John Evangelist, St Davids, Defynnog, Llansbyddyd, Brecon, Garthbrengi, Glasbury, Llyswen, Llandyfalle and Brynllys, and Griffith Morgan's collection in the parishes of Penderyn, Faenor, Cantref and Ystradfellte. -- There is also a rental of the manor of Sutton Guanock, Lincolnshire, 'as the same was found amongst Sir Francis Dayrells papers', and rentals of Castle Camps, Cambridgeshire, Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire, and 'the lands of Borestall upon the death of Mr Lewis now held between the Lady Dayrell and Mr Jephson', all Lady Day 1675 (ff. 104-5). The manor of Boarstall is also in Buckinghamshire, and Mr Lewis is presumably Edward Lewis of the Van (d. 1674). Kelly's Bucks. (1877) notes a charity at Boarstall endowed by an Edward Lewis, esq. Edward Lewis of the Van's sisters were Elizabeth, wife of Sir Francis Dayrell (d. 1675) of Castle Camps, and Mary, wife of William Jephson. Mary inherited Boarstall from her brother. Her subsequent husbands were Sir John Aubrey, Sir Charles Kemeys and William Aubrey. Boarstall then descended through her step-son, another Sir John Aubrey, to the Aubrey-Fletcher family. The Dayrell family of Castle Camps were a branch of the Dayrell family of Lillingstone Dayrell, and later moved to neighbouring Shudy Camps.
