By accident, whilst searching for something completely different, I found a
reference to the Will of Hugh Pugh Yeoman of Vanner (Fanner) Llanelltyd
dated 19th Jan 1807 (Probate 17 Dec 1807) The will, apparently contains
references to the following:
Elinor Pugh Wife; Elinor, sister & wife of Robert Pugh; Catherine, sister &
wife of John David; Elizabeth, Sister & wife of William Pugh;
Elizabeth Pugh daughter of Sister Ellin; Hugh Jones, nephew Dol y Clochydd;
David Owen, Cousin; William Pugh, Cousin;
David Jones, Nephew; Peter Pugh, nephew, Dolfawr; Peter Jones, Nephew;
Elizabeth Pugh, Niece; John Jones, Nephew, Dol y Clochydd; Robert Jones,
Nephew, Dol y Clochydd;
Executor Peter Pugh Nephew
Witness Humphrey Williams Dolgellau Evan Humphrey Vanner
Catherine, Hugh Pugh's sister and John David her husband are my 5th great
grandparents. Hugh Jones, Peter Jones and John Jones of Dolyclochydd were
their children.
References in the Llanelltyd Bishop's Transcripts suggest that Hugh Pugh,
the man who made the will, was the son of Peter Pugh of Fanner and Elizabeth
Parry his wife.
I seem to remember somebody else on the list writing about Peter Pugh of
Fanner some time ago and a reference to him belonging to the Vaughan of
Hengwrt family, but I can't find it in the list archive. If the person who
wrote about Peter Pugh is still on the list can s/he please contact me. I
would also be pleased to hear from anybody else who recognise any of the
other names mentioned in the will.
All the best
Alwyn
