This collection of 15 items nearly all relate, or at one time belonged, to Solomon Williams of Brynaerau Isa in the parish of Clynnog, Caernarfonshire, and his family. They include commonplace books with entries by Solomon Williams, 1806-1845; account books of John Owen of Caernarfon, overseer of the poor for the parish of Clynnog, 1828-1829; maps and surveys of the estate of Solomon Williams in the parish of Clynnog 1842; diaries of the aforementioned Solomon Williams and his son John Solomon Williams, 1836-1887; and a medicine book.

Ganed Solomon Williams ym 1770 a bu'n byw ym Mrynaearu Isa ym mhlwyf Clynnog, Sir Gaernarfon. Bu farw ym 1848. Roedd yn dirfeddianwr a ffermwr deallus a gymerai ddiddordeb mewn gwella'r tir. Roedd hefyd yn aelod amlwg o'r gymuned o gapelwyr yng Nghlynnog - safai Capel Brynaearu ar ei dir ef. Ganed John Solomon Williams ym 1836. Roedd yn ddyn cerddorol ac yn aelod o Undeb Gorawl Gogledd Cymru. Bu ef farw ym 1877.

Solomon Williams was born in 1770 and lived at Brynaerau Isa in the parish of Clynnog, Caernarfonshire. He died in 1848. All the information regarding Solomon Williams has been taken from the papers, created and gathered together by himself and members of his family. As a fairly substantial and intellectual farmer and landowner, he took an active interest in land improvement. He was also, evidently, an active member of the local rural and chapel-going society. The C.M. chapel of Brynaerau stood on the land of Brynaerau Isa. His son John Solomon Williams, whose diaries are also included amongst the Brynaerau manuscripts, was born on 19 August 1836. He was evidently fairly musical, as his membership of the North Wales Choral Union proves. He died in 1877.
