Administrative / Biographical History

This somewhat complicated document serves to elucidate the various ramifications of the Tregayan family, originally Prytherchs, who came to an end in the main line with the heiress Ann Prytherch, who was married first to the Rev. Richard Edmunds, rector of Aber, and secondly, to James Briscoe, Officer of Customs at Beaumaris. This present indenture has to do, in the main, with the claims of five daughters of that second marriage, although Thomas James Owen himself was only grandson to the eldest of the Briscoe daughters. His grandfather was Edward Owen; he had a son Thomas James Owen, and he also a son named Thomas James (but the Pedigrees, 129, do not carry this branch further down than the father, T.J.Owen).
