Clayton letters,

(a) Eleven holograph letters, 1665-1668, from John Hinton from Pembroke, etc., to John Morris (Morice) in Corn hille and Augustin Fryers, relating mainly to an action resulting from the arrest of iron shipped on board the 'Katherine of Waxford' by John Chaplyn (Shapland), together with affidavits, 3 January, 1667/8, of Thomas Dulan, factor of the iron, and David St. John, master of the vessel, taken before Jno. Hinton, mayor of the town and liberties of Pembroke, and a contemporary copy of a letter [26 December, 1667] from John Morris to John Hinton. (b) Nine holograph letters, 1678/9-1679, of Hugh Mathews, from Cardiff and Aberthaw, the first written to Samuel Sumerford, Lincolnes Inne, and the remainder to Sir Thomas Bludworth, M.P., at Camden House near Goldsmith's Hall, relating to the administration of the estate of Sir John Jones of Fonmon Castle (d. 15 October, 1678). The letters refer to difficulties between Dame Ann Jones (daughter of Sir Thomas Bludworth) and her brother-in-law Oliver Jones in connection with manorial rights, an allegedly irregular manorial court held at Lancadle, an inventory of the estate, the payment of bills, the letting of properties and collection of rents, and the loading and manning of Dame Ann Jones's vessel 'Ann' from Aberthaw to London. Also included are transcripts of a letter, 16 November, [16]78, from [Dame Ann Jones] from Fonmon to Hugh Mathews, commissioning the latter to be steward of her estate, and of her instrument of appointment, of even date, of Edwd. Williams of Wringestone, Glamorgan, yeoman, as bailiff to take care and dispose of her stock of cattle and sheep.
