Elfed,
Many thanks for your offer. That is most kind.
Even if the wills can be found in English and in Glenn's book, not everyone
has access, so it still may be of interest to have them posted here exactly
as they appear. The wording of records so long ago is very interesting.
Thank you.
Emily

Subject: [FRONGOCH-WALES] Translation of Welsh Wills
I am willing to try to help to translate any Welsh wills relating to
Frongoch families.
I note that Nathaniel mentions that the wills of Cadwalader Evan and Owen
Evan (sons of Evan Robert Lewis) are in Welsh . If he is referring to the
will SA/1671/93 - this will is in fact written in English but difficult
to read and understand.
This will mentions the administrators as -
Gayner vch John of Llanfawr , (widow. )
Thomas Hughes of Llangwm, Denbighshire (gentleman)
David Ellis, Cyffdy, Bala,Merionethshire (gentleman)
The goods and chattels are left to Gayner vch John
Sealed and delivered in the presence of -
John Jennings
John Evans
Pk? Roberts
Signed -
Gayner vch John
Thomas Hughes
David Ellis
Note; T.A. Glenn in his book "Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania" claims that
Gainor John was the wife of Owen ap Evan although the will does nort
specifically say this .
The will of Cadwalader Evan is SA1688/104 and is also written in English
and a transcription of this will can also be found in "Welsh Founders of
Pennsylvania"
I hope this helps,
Elfed Owen (UK)
