Scope and Content

Former owner of Brig-y-Don & Min-y-Don in Ty Mawr Rd, Deganwy. Margaret was the daughter of Richard Roberts and the niece of Samuel Roberts, an Independent Minister of Llanbrynmair; Samuel Roberts is reasonably well documented. As well as being a Minister (Capel-y-Dysteb, Conwy), he was involved with land reform.

[N.B. In addition to the notes is an Essay on 'Emmigration from Llanbrynmair, Montgomeryshire to the United States of America 1795 and 1856/57', written by Joan Adams in 1974. The essay discusses the migration of two generations of the Roberts family from Llanbrynmair to the USA; Joan Adams was a descendant of George Roberts who migrated in 1795.]
